The Scene
Brimming with stalls and stands, the historic Sweet Auburn Curb Market caters to nearby intown neighborhoods as well as to the growing loft populations in Midtown and downtown. In addition to an exotic range of fresh produce, meats and cheeses, the market also stocks everything from beautiful, inexpensive fresh flowers to African clothing. A row of small cafes runs the gamut from soul food to Indian.

The Food
Everything the South is known for, but your local grocer doesn't stock, can be found here. Chitlins, salted pork and cow hooves on one counter face off with okra, greens and late-season peaches on another. Several Asian grocers, an organic produce stand and the Sweet Auburn Bread Company, famous for its sweet potato cheesecake, call the market home.
