An up-and-coming district south of North Avenue

Hospital Artistic Entertainment

SoNo is mainly made up of Emory University Hospital Midtown and surrounding medical offices. However, SoNo is also home to the Original JR Crickets, Midtown Tavern, and Shakespeare Tavern Playhouse. Situated immediately west of Central Park, residents have easy access to a community green space. Check out Folk Art Park near the south end of town for some green space and sweeping views of Atlanta’s skyline.
