PONCE CITY MARKET, a two million square foot renovated space, was once the home of the historic Sears & Roebuck building on Ponce de Leon Avenue in Atlanta’s Old Fourth Ward. The heart of PONCE CITY MARKET features shops and a Central Food Hall that boasts nearly 30 dine-in restaurants and grab & go cuisine stalls. A hub for community connection, the property includes offices, high-end apartments, public green spaces and access to the Atlanta BeltLine Corridor. With its rustic overhead beams, exposed duct work and wooden floors, the vibe is true to its 1920’s roots.
Walking in from the paid parking lot, you encounter both independently-owned shops, such as Sugarboo and Co. and South Moon Under, as well as nationally-known retail stores like Anthropologie and Sephora (one of the largest in Atlanta). Shopping is available on all three levels, including book stores, men’s clothing stores, pet stores and services, custom picture framing, a mattress store and more. Here’s a cool tip: you can download the parking app and pay for your parking from the convenience of your smart phone. The cost is low and so worth it.

You can even book a tour of the winery and see how they produce over 400 barrels of wine each year.
Dining at the City Winery is, simply, delightful. With a wholesome approach and dishes that are prepared with a “globally influenced, wine focused and locally sourced” philosophy, the food is art.
