Ponce City Market is a lively Atlanta hotspot where a historic Sears building transforms into a family-friendly hub of food, shopping, and rooftop views.
"The former Sears, Roebuck & Co. store and distribution center was sold in 2010 to Jamestown Properties and became the new Ponce City Market, a sprawling five-building, 3 million-square-foot community hub of offices, residences, retail, and the renowned food hall with more than 30 concepts for dining and drinks, plus the rooftop Nine Mile Station." - Tori Allen
"The team behind El Super Pan brings another restaurant to Ponce City Market with La Metro. It's a tapas restaurant with snails, sardines, croquettes, and paellas. We haven’t been here yet, but want you to know this spot exists." - Team Infatuation
"Atlanta’s affinity for repurposing old buildings is on grand display at this mammoth development along the Atlanta BeltLine. Ponce City Market is somewhere you come for a good time, whether it's shopping at a small boutique, gallery, or larger store, or for a meal or drink in the central food hall. A mix of locally-owned shops, like leather goods store Glad & Young and Souk Bohemian, and well-known brands like Williams-Sonoma and Posman Books make up the composition of the market’s shopping options with something for any budget or desire. You can also pay a fee to ride a freight elevator to the rooftop for carnival games and killer city views. Visitors love Ponce City Market as much as locals do. Taken just at face value, it's an enjoyable way to spend part of the day or evening or as a stop while you stroll the BeltLine. Scratch beneath the surface of functional space, cool shopping, and terrific restaurants, though, and it's a great story of a historic building experiencing a rebirth." - Lia Picard, Jennifer Bradley Franklin
"This new stall at Ponce City Market features a rotating roster of four pop-up chefs every month. There's also a themed dinner every Monday night (like their Chicago-style one). Punk Foodie's goal is to help elevate up-and-coming chefs in the Atlanta area. Meanwhile we’ll be elevating the food from the plate to our mouths. " - nina reeder, juli horsford
"Once home to Sears, Roebuck, and Co. and City Hall East, Ponce City Market (PCM), located just off the Eastside Beltline, is now Atlanta’s newest tourist destination. The ground floor food hall is home to several restaurant stalls owned by Atlanta’s most notable chefs, like Linton Hopkins, Anne Quatrano, Guy Wong, Meherwan Irani, and Hector Santiago. On the roof, there’s a mini amusement park called Skyline Park, along with restaurant 9 Mile Station and a cocktail bar in the tower. On weekdays, PCM is full of nearby residents and office dwellers grabbing lunch or dinner. Locals generally avoid PCM on the weekends when the market becomes overrun with tourists and folks heading in from the suburbs." - Beth McKibben
