Cutting to the chase, Ponce City Market is a must-see spot in Atlanta. With industrial-chic style, reclaimed wood floors, distressed brick walls and exposed metallic beams, the space has the flair of an urban warehouse. Its aesthetics is the icing on the cake. This space was once a Sears, Roebuck and Co. retail store and is now a party central for the city.
Once a dwindling and abandoned development, now the 2.1 million-square-foot market hosts more than 250 businesses – national and local retail, restaurants, boutiques, offices, and, if you're fortunate enough to afford it, apartments and lofts.
Its Central Food Hall is one of the best food halls in the US, as good as Pike Place in Seattle, and the Ferry Building in San Francisco.
The Roof, a six-acre amusement park on the rooftop, is the cherry on top. It hosts a mini-golf course, boardwalk-style games, a three-story slide, a drop tower, a modern beer garden, and scenic views of Atlanta's skyline.
Officially opened in 2014, the city’s community hub has transformed the Old Fourth Ward, once the sore thumb of Atlanta, into a thriving and dynamic neighborhood. The market is the largest historic rehabilitation projects in the Southeast as of today.
Connected with the other major visitors' draw – the Atlanta BeltLine, PCM is also easily accessible through the BeltLine's Eastside Trail.

Oh, and you won't miss the wayfinding signs, especially those leading to the Central Food Hall.
Ponce de Leon Ave Side Ponce City Market was named after the natural springs – Ponce de Leon Springs, that were located in its place in the 1860s. A witty Atlanta's doctor used the name of Ponce de Leon – a Spanish explorer who discovered Florida while looking for the Fountain of Youth – to make the place a popular destination among the locals.
