GREAT ESCAPES

Our guide to Marietta, GA

“Marietta” by Craig Stanley | Photo by 6AM City

Kyle here. While a weekend inside the perimeter of Atlanta, GA has its allure, I invite you to venture outside the perimeter to Marietta, GA — a town steeped in history, charm, and the one where I grew up.

Food: Duck into Mac’s Chophouse in the cooler months for a hearty steak and take to the patio on the Marietta Square during warmer weather for a cool cocktail and Chopped Salad.
Watch: Catch a play, musical, or concert at the Earl and Rachel Smith Strand Theatre, which got its start as a major motion picture house in 1935.
Vrbo: Cheery Cottage with Farm, just four blocks away from the Marietta Square. (~$80/night)*

SHOP

Seasonal

If you’ve got sticker shock from your winter energy bills, it’s time to break out the space heater. Solve chilly mornings the energy efficient way with the Dr. Infrared Heater that warms objects, not the air. Hello, cozy legs. Bonus: Heat your patio with infrared, too. 🔥*

Wellness

Looking to relieve muscle soreness without dropping $150+ a month on a deep tissue massage? Enter: the RENPHO massage gun. It has 19,000+ five-star reviews and is on sale for $89 (down from $249) for a limited time.*

Eat

Swap bland trail mix for a nutrient-dense, tasty snack from KIND. If you’re a chocolate lover, try the Dark Chocolate Mocha Almond and Dark Chocolate Cocoa. If you want to add more protein to your diet, the Crunchy Peanut Butter is a must. Wanna try an assortment? Build your own box.*
