I joined the Mystery Midtown Restaurant Tour through Unexpected Atlanta. Great way to learn newly shared historical facts about Midtown all while solving mystery items. Food and drinks were all from newer restaurants to me and the best way to meet people is over shared food experiences. We had a shift in weather and they instantly pivoted while still encompassing all highlights. I left stuffed from all the food. Grab friends and go have a blast. It is a deal for all you get.

This one-of-a-kind 3.5-hour Atlanta adventure from Unexpected Atlanta Tours blends gourmet food, mind-bending puzzles, and jaw-dropping stories in one of Atlanta’s most dynamic neighborhoods. You’ll enjoy nine delicious tastings at four top Midtown restaurants—each stop part of the bigger mystery. As you savor creative spins on classic Southern flavors, your group will team up to solve riddles, follow hidden clues, and uncover the untold stories of Midtown’s past. From the scandalous secrets of Margaret Mitchell to the fabulous rise of RuPaul, you’ll discover how women, rebels, and change-makers shaped the streets you’re walking. Along the way, keep your eyes peeled—historic clues are hiding in plain sight, from forgotten architecture to sidewalks with stories. This tour is part food crawl, part scavenger hunt, and all fun. By the end, you’ll see Midtown through new eyes—and you might even be hungry for more mystery.

I loved this tour! I've been in Atlanta for 20 years and had no idea about most of these stories. Additionally, I've never taken the time to walk around the neighborhood side of Midtown and see all the stunning homes in the area. The food was incredible, and I loved how they tied all the stops to a mystery narrative behind it. I highly recommend it. PS You will NOT leave hungry. I could barely walk back to my car ;)
