Eat your way down historic Sweet Auburn Avenue with a guide pairing soul food, civil-rights history, and jazz-age landmarks in one small-group walk.
What to expect
You'll taste fried chicken, cornbread, and peach cobbler at a handful of unmarked, generations-old spots while your guide traces Auburn Avenue's history as 'the richest Negro street in the world' in the early 20th century. Stops include jazz clubs turned historic markers and the block where Black-owned banks and newspapers once thrived. It's food and history braided together, on foot, at a relaxed pace.
Good to know
Comes with an empty stomach recommendation — portions are generous. Tours run rain or shine; the route overlaps with the MLK historical park, so many combine both in one morning.
