Fodor's Expert Review Sweet Auburn Curb Market
Sweet Auburn, the Old Fourth Ward, and East Atlanta
Market/Bazaar
The market, an institution on Edgewood Avenue since 1924, sells flowers, fruits, and vegetables, and a variety of meats—everything from fresh catfish to foot-long oxtails. Vendors also include local favorites Bell Street Burritos and Sweet Auburn BBQ. Individual stalls are run by a diverse set of owners, making this a true public market—especially significant now, considering that Atlanta's black residents were forced to sell their wares on the curb in the market's early days.
