We asked Black Lightning stars Patrick Lamont Jr, and Damon Gupton who are currently filming the new DC superhero show in Atlanta, to share a few local recommendations.

Here’s what they shared with us!

Nature Lovers

Patrick says:

  • Sweet Water Creek Park

I am a huge nature guy, love hiking and trees. I love Sweet Water Creek Park. They have nice hiking trails and beautiful scenery. It’s about 30 minutes from the city.

 

Music Lovers

Damon says:

  • Atlanta Symphony Orchestra

 

Food, Glorious Food

Patrick says:

  • Six Feet Under Pub

On 11th street is a great seafood restaurant, my favorite dish there is the crab stuffed salmon and salmon sliders, their hush puppies are amazing as well.
They have a great outside patio upstairs with an amazing view of the city.

Damon says:

  • Urban Fix
  • Iberian Pig in Decatur

 

Libations

Patrick says:

  • Bar Hopping on Edgewood

Friday and Saturday nights, Edgewood Ave. is usually LIT. There’s a lot of great bars with great drinks and music.

You heard him! It’s lit!

  • Little Trouble

Is a great restaurant with a cool retro feel and great drinks and food.

 

In The City

Patrick says:

  • Piedmont Park

Great park in the center of Atlanta.
