Great Escapes: Our guide to Marietta, GA

While a weekend inside the perimeter of Atlanta, GA has its allure, we invite you to venture outside the perimeter to Marietta, GA — a town steeped in history and charm.
Drink: Sip on a “Can I Get a Witness” Belgian wit beer at Glover Park Brewery, which topped Eater Atlanta’s list of 35 Atlanta Breweries and Brewpubs to Grab a Pint Today. If you see owners Hank or Sam, tell them I say hello.
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.
Bonus message from our partner: If you’re looking to book this trip, Going (formerly Scott’s Cheap Flights) offers all the affordable flight hacks from your home airport. Sign up here.*

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. 🔥*
