Little Five Points: Atlanta

Situated on the edge of Inman Park and Candler Park, Little Five Points is a funky combination of thrift shops, piercing parlors, casual bars and music venues. A haven for young rebels and the tattooed crowd, the neighborhood hosts an annual Halloween Parade and is home to the Vortex restaurant, known for its mediocre service, skull shaped-entrance and delicious burgers. Restored bungalows and historical post-Civil War era homes line the streets and areas surrounding Freedom Park along with run-down residences. Although this is not the neighborhood to scour for five-star cuisine, tasty bar food abounds. Stop into Bang-On to design your own T-shirt and roam the aisles of Junkman's Daughter for a wacky gift or bright pink wig. © NileGuide
