New Year Party Places in Dubai 2024

It is the time of the year when most of us are gearing up to welcome the New Year. New Year brings new excitement to everyone, but each of us has a different way of celebrating it. Some prefer to cozy up with family in front of the television, while for some, the company of their closest friends is the best way to celebrate. But there are some for whom parties are the only way of ushering in the New Year. Dubai is the place that most party lovers should head to. This Emirate city hosts the best New Year parties. Be it fireworks, food, ambiance, or entertainment, the Dubai New Year parties never falter. Here are the best places for a New Year party in Dubai.

Ce La Vi Dubai

You can enjoy the glitz and glamor of Dubai at Ce La Vi Dubai, a fine dining restaurant at the heart of Downtown Dubai. This stylish restaurant is located on the 54th floor of the luxurious Address Sky View Hotel. You can be seated at the indoor restaurant, sky bar, club lounge, or pool deck. The menu comprises contemporary Asian cuisine curated by Michelin-star chef Howard Ko. The 2024 New Year Party will also see live music played by the UK's favorite Swing Band, Jack Pack. But the highlight of partying here is that it gives you a direct view of the Burj Khalifa and its show-stopping midnight fireworks.

Gala Dinner at Hotel Atlantis the Palm

Another glamorous New Year party in Dubai every year is at Hotel Atlantis the Palm. A delicious buffet, exciting live counters, and unlimited champagne await you at this mega event. This year, you will also enjoy live music by the English musician Sting, who will croon to his best numbers throughout the night. You can choose from three seating options: premium circle, rogue circle, and golden circle. Apart from enjoying the drinks, food, and entertainment, you will also get to see the fireworks at Atlantis, which happens to be one of the best in Dubai.

Dhow Cruise at Dubai Creek

The dhow cruise is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Dubai. But epic New Year celebrations happen on the dhow cruise at Dubai Creek. The cruise begins late evening and lasts three hours, ensuring you welcome the New Year while sailing on the Creek. The celebrations include a gourmet buffet with traditional and international vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes. While cruising around the Creek, you will enjoy the hustle-bustle around the Dubai Creek on New Year’s Eve. Plus, Tanoura dancers are also brought on board to entertain you. As the clock strikes midnight, you can enjoy cake and clink your glass of champagne while admiring the fireworks lighting up the Dubai skyline. The dhow cruise is the best New Year party in Dubai Creek.

New Year’s Eve Gala at Dubai Opera

Dubai Opera is the city’s finest cultural attraction. And the New Year celebration is next to none. True to its reputation, Dubai Opera promises a marvelous musical evening with astonishing performances by celebrated artists. The New Year party starts with a live performance of the Dubai Opera Big Band. As you sway to the melodious jazz music, you will be served a delicious dinner. This is followed by the performance of the Grammy award-winning American musician Fantastic Negrito, who will mesmerize you with his songs. At midnight, you enter the promenade to enjoy the brilliant fireworks all along the Dubai skyline. But the party does not end here. You can spend the next few hours dancing to the tunes of the renowned DJ Slim before calling it a night.

Beach Party at Zero Gravity

Dubai, being a coastal city, has numerous splendid beaches and amazing beach clubs, too. But the best among them is Zero Gravity. The New Year party will start as early as 11 in the morning on 31st December. You can saunter in with friends and enjoy dancing and drinks by the pool. Do not miss stepping out on the beach to witness the year's last sunset. But the real fun happens after sundown. Get ready to dance your heart out to the tunes of some of the most renowned names in the world of music. Be it Rudimental, Sigala, or Nathan Dawe, you will get to welcome 2024 while high on fun. Of course, the fireworks over the Dubai skyline at midnight will add to the memories of your amazing New Year party.

Aura Skypool

Aura Skypool is a 360-degree infinity pool on the 50th floor of St. Regis Hotel The Palm Tower. While taking a dip in this infinity pool is fantastic, the New Year party here is even more epic. Live music performances and resident DJs will ensure that there is no dull moments in your evening. Also, as you sip on the Laurent Perrier Brut NV Champagne or other premium beverages of your choice, you will also get to admire the beautiful view of Dubai. This will become even more useful at midnight, as you can watch fireworks happening at different places in the city. The food here is excellent, too. You get to try all the signature dishes of Aura Skypool while partying here.

Midnight Extravaganza at Koyo

If a New Year party in Dubai Marina is what you prefer, Koyo will be a good choice. This chic and eclectic restaurant serves the most delicious yet innovative Japanese food. Plus, it allows you to party in style to welcome 2024. The vibe of this party place is created by its décor and the lively music that is played throughout the party. Apart from music, there are amazing performances purely for your entertainment. While devouring a four-course Japanese meal, you can also enjoy unlimited drinks at the Koyo. Book a table for you and your friends as soon as possible to grab the early bird offer. A few other places for a perfect dinner in Dubai on New Year’s Eve are Coucou Rooftop, Buddha Bar, ROKA, The Guild, and Clay. The city offers plenty of options when it comes to partying and dining places to make your New Year’s Eve a memorable one. Whichever place you choose, you will be rewarded with marvelous music, great food, and a vibe like no other.

Making her laugh

Fandom: DC / Young Justice

Summary: Dick Grayson goes to an old friend for help. He could have asked a million other girls but... she was always his first choice

Pairing: Dick Grayson x OC

Notes: I have been creatively blocked for a while and then this just happened. Thanks to @speedypan for pushing me to write it. I honestly feel better now.

Jen is my OC and you can find most of her stuff here.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The bar was in full swing, music loud and the dance floor full, everyone pulsing to the beat as they swung around. It was contrary night so beer was cheap and everyone was very drunk. Dick couldn’t help but smile a little as he looked around the packed bar. Shane had put a lot of work into this place since the last time an underaged Jennifer had dragged him in here.

“Shane, the bartender, is my friend”

“Jen, honestly I have so much work to do.”

She waved away his protests as they walked into the dive bar, “you just quite the team, I’m sure whatever angst you have to do can wait one night.” she giggled excitedly as she waved at the young bartender who flashed her a smile before going back to the cute blonde at the bar. Dick slightly wondered if the bartender was more than just a friend. “ beside its country night and I need a partner.”

It was like she always knew when he got too into his head. Got caught up in the endless war he was fighting. It was moments like this when she would pull him away to some loud music and they would dance away the night. Dance as if they were just any twenty-somethings.

Just soaking up the night and living in the moment.

Maybe that’s why he always came back to her when he needed help. When it all felt like too much she was always the first name on his lips.

It may have also been the reason he could pick her out of any crowd. As if drawn to her no matter what. As if her presence glowed on the dark stormy horizon, drawing him home to safety.

She was in a cute white sundress swinging around the floor in the arms of a much older man. Dick had heard about him, Gary or Larry? He said something to her and Jennifer threw her head back laughing before swinging away from her and then coming back her skirt flaring out with her movements. Dick couldn’t help but notice a few other guys watching from their seats.

But that was Jen when she was happy she seemed to draw people to her. She glowed with a joy and everyone else just seemed to crave.

The music continued and her partner spun her around. Dick gently stepping between her and her next partner in line. He heard -and chose to ignore- a slightly annoyed grunt from the man to his right. He’d get over it.

“May I have this dance Ma’am?”

Her hands gripped his and her turquoise eyes shone up at him. Dick tried to ignore the flutter his heart made as she let out a light breathy laugh. Even now, all these years later, the idea that he could make her laugh gave him so much pride.

“I knew you couldn’t resist Country night.”

“Not when I know there is going to be a beautiful woman there in a white dress.”

Another laugh and they were off. Dancing around the room to the song. Totally in sync. God, he had missed this. Her body moving with his as he lead her around the room. With her dancer’s background and his circus one, they couldn’t help but show off a little. Trying to test the other while just having fun letting everyone else admire their natural talents.

As the tune changed it was Jennifer who led him off the dance floor. That was another thing about her that still seemed to take Dick by surprise. How he couldn’t hide anything from her. He knew as she waved over Shane and ordered two beers that she was about to question his sudden appearance in the small Gotham Bar. Her bright eyes watching him as they took a seat by an open window out looking at the street. She took a long sip of her drink then placed it down hands folding over the table top.

“So?”

“I need your help.”

“Does this have something to do with Gigi missing?”

“Yeah, sort of.”

Gigi and her meta friend Theo had jumped at the mission to go undercover in a meta trafficking ring. Both teens had been sending him messages about a hotel in Dubai where one of the owners Sadeq have some sort of information that Dick needed.

Thanks to Barbara and a very interesting online tinder account, Sadeq had a type. Pretty brunettes with light eyes. And while Dick also fit that description he had a feeling Jennifer would be able to get the sort of information he was looking for.

Sure, there were other girls he could have asked. Several who were already much deeper in the hero life than the retired Falcon but like he had admitted as he walked into this bar drawn to her very presence...

Jennifer would always be his first.

--------------

“We are right here. So the moment you feel like something is going down just say the code word.”

“Yeah yeah, this isn’t my first undercover mission Nightwing.” Jennifer’s voice said over the coms. Her sister’s voice let out a laugh.

“We just worry civilian.”

“Whatever, I literally get information from people for a living.” Dick’s gaze drifted from his table to the door as he caught sight of Jennifer walking in. she looked amazing. A beautiful gold dress clinging to her just right, showing off every curve. Perfectly classy, yet just the right touch of sexy that said rich girl on vacation looking for some fun. “And fuck for free”

At her last comment, her eyes flickered to Dick for just a moment as she made her way across the room. Dick knew he was gaping at her. Why did she do these things to him?

He always told himself it was over, they were just friends (who occasionally flirted just a little more than they should) but then she would go and dress like that. She would look at him with those beautiful eyes and he felt like he was a 13-year-old boy again.

“Gross sis” Guardian Angel’s voice said over the com pulling Dick from a path he really didn’t want to go down. He needed to focus. Maybe that’s why he had agreed so quickly to take Jennifer’s younger sister on the mission. Sure he had told Barb and even himself that it was because she looked so much like a lost puppy after being sidelined after her accident. But deep down he knew it was because knowing there was someone else watching he couldn’t make a mistake he would regret.

Jennifer took her time going to the bar where the Sadeq was standing. Her gaze roaming around the room smiling at lots of patrons who were swept up in her presence. To the casual observer, she just looked like another vacationer who was enjoying a week away.

Then flipping back a strand of her hair as if she had made her decision she strode up to the bar. Looking over the contents lining the walls.

“What can I get you beautiful?” the bartender asked. Jennifer giggled leaning forward kicking one foot up behind her. Dick had seen this move a million times. Something she always did when she and Shane were scheming the night away.

“Oh man, I don’t even know. What do you suggest?”

The bartender laughed, “Really depends on what you are feeling?”

“Well I just got in from New York and I’m ready for a FUN night.” she winked at him before turning to Sadeq, “What are you having?” Sadeq turned to her. He had been checking her out since she had walked in but now he let himself get a full view of the girl next to him.

“Whiskey.”

Her bubbly personality melted away, “any particular bottle or just Whiskey.” Sadeq looked slightly taken aback by the shift from a party girl to someone who actually may know the difference between a Balvenie and a Knob Creek.

“It’s actually a Glenfiddich ‘68, from my own private stash.”

“You’re own private stash? Isn’t this a hotel?”

“Yes, it is, one that I own.”

Jennifer bit her lip in fake embarrassment as she fluttered her eyes, “whoops my bad,”

“It’s quite alright, are you a Whiskey drinker?”

“A little? I have a friend back in New York who is a mixologist, he’s kind of my guide to the wonders of liquor.” she let out a soft sigh of disappointment letting her eyes wandering around the room as if looking for him, “But he’s not here tonight”

“Well, I wouldn’t mind taking over… for tonight.”

Jennifer smiled up at him through long lashes, he walked right into that one. Dick knew that look all too well, Sadeq was hooked.

------

It didn’t take her long to get him alone in his office. And he really wasn’t a bad kisser. Plus to be fair Jen did have this thing for making out on desks. Something she may have said in passing to Sadeq over their third glass of Whiskey. Just because this was a mission didn’t mean she couldn’t have some fun.

“Can you get him into the bedroom?” she heard her sister’s voice over her ear, “there is one in the door to your right.”

Jennifer scooted back knocking over a glass that on the table. It fell to the ground shattering. “Whoops” Jennifer giggled looking up at her makeout buddy who just shrugged a smug smile on his face.

“It’s fine.”

“Maybe we should go somewhere more...comfortable?” Jennifer asked running her hands up his tie gently tugging at it. Sadeq smiled pulling her off the desk dragging her toward the door Faith had mentioned.

“I have just the place,” he said opening the door which led into a large bedroom.

“Ohhh kinky, a hidden bedroom,” Jennifer said let out another laugh as she jumped onto the bed. Sadeq pounced on top of her, hands all over her. Jennifer’s hands traveled downward. One toward his belt and the other to her waist as if making to pull off her panties. Grabbing the small needle she had taped to her hip.

Pulling him closer she grinded her hips into his as she quickly pricking him with the needle.

He pulled away at the sharp feeling. “Ow”

“Oh sorry,” Jennifer said pulling away putting her hands at her side scooting the needle under her. “This dress is sharp.”

He smiled leaning forward his hand running over the gold sequence, fingers playing with her breast, eyes already starting to glaze over, “In more ways than one… Maybe we should...”

His voice trailed away as he slowly passed out on top of her.

“Uhhh… Starfish?” Jennifer whispered into the dark as she slowly tried to move the dead weight now laying over her. She could hear Dick’s voice laughing over the coms and then coming closer too as he made his way into the bedroom. It was a weird sound really. Like he was surrounding her.

“Your backup has arrived.”

After pushing Sadeq off Jen and arranging him so it looked like he had gotten the fun night he had planned Dick held his hand out for Jennifer to help her off the bed. It was stupid, she knew that even as her heart rate picked up but, the way he looked in his Nightwing costume. That large smile on his face, his hand outstretched. It made her feel like a kid again. Running away with him through Gotham. His hand out leading her on yet an unbelievable adventure.

In many ways, he was still doing that.

As she took his hand she gave him an extra squeeze “that was fun.” she smiled up at him as he helped her descend the bed and handing her her shoes. Ever the gentleman.

As Jen walked back into the office she saw Faith going over the computer following Oracle’s instructions. She felt Dick’s hand gently placed on the small of her back. “We’ll meet you upstairs,” he whispered sending shivers down her back. Cool it, girl, it’s just Dick.

Although that was the problem wasn’t it. It was never “just” Dick.

Nodding she quickly ran her fingers through her hair trying to smooth it just enough to look like she had tried to fix it after getting fucked but failed miserably. Flashing Dick a smile she sent her sister one more glance.

“Don’t worry, I’ll take care of her,” Dick said catching Jennifer. She knew she had that look on her face. That one that meant she was worried about her sister. But it wasn’t just Faith she worried about. It was him too.

She grabbed his hand for a moment squeezing it again. As if trying to tell him she cared about him too. She wanted him to be safe as well. Then turning she quickly walked out praying they would keep their promise and be up in their hotel rooms that night.

This was the part she hated. The part where she had to walk away and trust them. The two people who mattered most to her. That they would come back to her. That they would be safe.

------

Dick was sitting on his bed going over the files Jennifer had been able to help them acquire from Sadeq. There was so much to go through. And while yes, Barb was probably working on it right now seeing as it was around 1 in the afternoon there, he needed the distraction.

Something, anything, to keep his mind off Jennifer in that gold dress. The way she had looked at him in the bar. The way she had taken his hand in her own and looked up at him. The way she had said, “that was fun.”

“Hey”

He almost jumped out of his skin at the sound of her voice. She was standing in the doorway of his bedroom, dressed in some pajama pants and a black tank. Her hair wet obviously just gotten out of the shower. As beautiful as she looked in that dress there was something special about this. The normal Jennifer. The one without any masks.

“Hey” he scooted over so she could jump onto his bed scooting up next to him looking over his shoulder. She smelled like coconut shampoo. “Where’s the little one?”

“She had to go for a run, you would think after taking out 6 guys, or whatever, she would be tired. I swear she gets MORE energy after she fights.”

Dick chuckled at the memory of the small girl front flip kicking some goon off Sadeq’s desk. They had been caught about 10 minutes after Faith had accidentally set off an alarm on the computer.

They lapsed into silence again Dick just scrolling through the documents all concentration gone. It was all about keeping up the appearance that he wasn’t completely distracted by the girl next to him.

“This is pretty serious huh.” Dick turned to her to see she was looking off at something on the blank bedroom wall. Lost in her own thoughts. “These kids, I mean they could be anyone. They could have been Faith… or…”

She didn’t say it but he knew. They could have been Nichole, Tea, Gigi, Maia, Annabella…. The list goes on and on and on. This was what had gotten her in the mask the first time. To help Nichole get out of the mob. To save Tea from a life on the streets.

“I want to help.” she said turning to him, “Whatever you need.”

He hadn’t meant to, just caught up in the moment really. A million of them leading up to this. Jennifer laughing at the bar, Jennifer in that gold dress, Jennifer sitting next to him with a fire in her eyes he hadn’t seen in years.

Dick kissed her, soft and gentle. He kissed her like he used to. When they were just kids pretending to be adults. So many questions in their minds but one thing they knew for sure.

That they loved each other.

He wasn’t sure if he still loved her that way anymore, time had changed them both but he knew that he still loved her in a way that would never change.

The way you can only love your first.

Jennifer kissed him back gently pushing his laptop away so she could take its place on his lap wrapping herself around him. A soft smile playing on her lips as his hands moved down her back pulling her closer to him grabbing her butt.

Suddenly she pulled away from him, her eyes studying him, “I… we… I have no idea what I can give you.” she mumbled, “I know there is that history.” Dick couldn’t help but smile as he pushed a strand of her wet away from her face and behind her ear.

“Let’s just have some fun ok? If I remember correctly you do fuck for free.”

She laughed then, long and hard curling herself around him her head landing on his shoulder. Her body shaking as she tried to compose herself.

Dick flipped her over so she was on her back with him on top now a huge smile on his face as she looked up at him still giggling.

There really was nothing Dick loved more than having the ability to make her laugh.

Guide to Fort Lauderdale Sightseeing

Take a look at our travel guide video to discover the best things to do in Fort Lauderdale on your next trip to the Sunshine State. Sitting on the southeastern coast of Florida, Fort Lauderdale is a warm and sunny vacation destination. The city sprawls across a number of canals and waterways that connect the Everglades to the Atlantic Ocean. Though it seems to have kicked its reputation as a spring break party spot, Fort Lauderdale continues to have a laid-back atmosphere that attracts tourists year-round, especially snowbirds during the winter months. Filled to the brim with seaside attractions, historical memorabilia, and shopping spots, there’s no shortage of excitement in this coastal community. If the sea and sand are calling your name, you’ve come to the right place. Fort Lauderdale has 23 miles of picturesque coastline, where you can soak up the sunshine and splash in the Atlantic Ocean. Many tourists and snowbirds make a beeline for “The Strip,” a scenic oceanfront stretch, located near the bars and restaurants on Sunrise Boulevard. There’s more to this enticing location than just the shoreline, though. To get a sense of the city’s history, venture over to the Riverwalk. One of the most popular Fort Lauderdale attractions, the Riverwalk is where you’ll find the Stranahan House, which is considered one of the oldest buildings in town. Originally built as a trading post in 1901, it was converted into a home for the Stranahans, a pioneer family, five years later. Tour a replica 1899 classroom, and then mosey over to the King Cromartie House just across the street. While Fort Lauderdale tours belong on the top of your itinerary, there are other must-see attractions just outside of town. Visit Butterfly World in nearby Coconut Creek to gaze at the winged creatures fluttering around the country’s largest butterfly house, and cast a line at the Deerfield Fishing Pier. Birch State Park is a serene spot for wildlife watching, while Mizner Park is home to upscale restaurants, galleries, and shops. Come explore Fort Lauderdale for a slice of sunshine. Whether you’re looking to shop along Las Olas Boulevard or mosey around the New River downtown scene, Fort Lauderdale sightseeing opportunities are seemingly endless. Press play on our travel guide video to discover more to love about this Florida gem.

Enjoy The Best Night Life| Best Hip-hop Night in Dubai

An incredible assortment of bars and nightclubs can be found in Dubai. The main party regions are places with an enormous grouping of lodgings, similar to the Jumeirah and Al Barsha locale in New Dubai, and the Deira and Bur Dubai regions in the more established piece of the city. The party puts here are for the most part situated on the Oud Metha, Al Rigga and Karama regions and generally inhabited by Indians.

The legitimate age for drinking in Dubai is 21 years old. The bars that serve liquor will, in general, be the ones found in lodgings. In Dubai, nightclubs are required to close by 3am; enormous fines are demanded if music continues past this hour. In the event that you happen to visit Dubai during Ramadan period, check first to check whether they are open, as lion's share of the bars will be shut during this month, and the ones that are open will be stifled, with no unrecorded music or dancing permitted. In any case, outside of this time, the nightclubs in Dubai have an energetic air, some with world-class DJs spotted all the time.

There are a lot of nightclubs, bars, eateries and bistros in Bur Dubai. There are a few Indian places, for example, the Bollywood Bar or the Chill Rooftop Club, which offer an incredible environment. Deira is the spot to go for a sample of Arabic climate. There is the Al Mushref Bar, with tummy artists, the Arabic Nightclub, and the Iranian Nightclub all at the Al Zumorrof. Deira is additionally loaded up with Indian, Bengali, and Filipino clubs too. The Kasbah Nightclub is a Moroccan-themed nightclub situated in the Royal Mirage Hotel in Dubai and is probably the greatest nightclub in Dubai.

Dubai inns offer an international assortment of nightclub entertainment encounters, everything from German and English bars to Russian discos. The Aviation Club, situated along the Dubai Creek is an extraordinary spot for a lager, while different places, for example, hello there tech discos of Atlantis the Palm, the Trilogy at Madinat Jumeirah Complex, all have hey tech discos. The Dubai Marina complex offers forty distinct bars and parlors, including the famous Buddha Bar, a problem area for gatherings.

In Dubai, as the end of the week falls on Thursday and Friday, Thursday nights is the greatest night to go out. Be that as it May, Saturdays are additionally very prominent.

Like in many nations, ladies and couples will have a simpler time getting into a nightclub, than men. To dishearten bigotry, it is against the law to wear the neighborhood Middle Eastern dress in bars and nightclubs in Dubai; anybody dressed, all things considered, is typically denied section. What's more, during the Ramadan time frame, Muslims are denied passage into nightclubs and bars in Dubai.

Bars and Nightclubs in Dubai

Alamo

Situated at the Dubai Marine Beach Resort and Spa, Alamo is well known for the two ostracizes and nationals, and can get caught up with during the ends of the week.

Loft Lounge and Club

101 things to love about Atlanta

A love letter to a city of many nicknames—just don’t call it Hotlanta

Unlike other American metropolises, it’s sometimes hard to determine exactly what Atlanta is, especially for outsiders or so many newcomers. Is it a business-friendly, big-hearted, mild-weather region that’s six times more populated than it was 50 years ago? Yes, Atlanta is that. A cradle for some of the most influential music—particularly hip-hop and rap—of the past three decades? Yep, that too. A burgeoning foodie wonderland? A southeastern mecca for the production of television and Hollywood blockbusters? A pastiche of gloriously unique, provincial villages masquerading as official neighborhoods? A cultural frontrunner and cautionary tale? Global magnet of opportunity? Still kind of a mess—but lovably so?

Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, and that’s right, y’all.

So maybe that’s what’s special about Atlanta: It’s not yet finished, and never one-note. Rather, it’s a Brunswick stew of varying allures. It’s amorphous, restless, unwed to the past, intoxicated by its own prospects. Very little is sacred here but change, and instigators are more than welcome. Atlanta doesn’t know what it is yet, or exactly where it’s going, but it’s having a damn good time getting there. Let’s celebrate what’s great here, right now.

1. Inclusivity. The economic and cultural heart of the Deep South isn’t just accustomed to being diverse, it’s proud of it. See virtually any public gathering place intown for proof that humanity can peacefully coexist—and that Atlanta still has better things to do than hate.

2. Sky-high architecture. From the emerald towers of Sandy Springs’s King and Queen to the Georgia Pacific Tower’s illuminated stairsteps, the skyline is among America’s most underappreciated, especially at night. It’s not contiguous yet, with large gaps between poky clusters from most angles, but it’s distinctive and bold. And oh how it glows.

3. Easy-breezy climes. Sure, summer’s hotter’n’ Hades. But there’s Christmas shopping in flip-flops (sometimes), T-shirt weekends in January (occasionally), and bloomy early February (without fail).

4. After Hours at Waffle House: The 20-minute wait at 3:17 a.m. is plenty of time for random singing with other scatterbrained, post-bar strangers in line.

5. The prevalence of nature. Cicadas. And barn owls. Talking. At night. Among the giant urban oaks, in July.

6. Festival-a-palooza. Neighborhoods across the city have unbridled, borderline incomprehensible enthusiasm for getting together. Random gatherings invented on Facebook (looking at you, Lanta Gras) have ballooned into huge annual traditions with street closures and parades.

7. Bezos who? Amazon didn’t choose Atlanta, and Atlanta cared for five minutes.

8. It’s almost never hard to find a seat on public transit.

9. Kid-friendly. Little children growing up in Atlanta tend to think it’s amazing. That’s an impression bolstered by innumerable playgrounds and ubiquitous King of Pops, those delectable, homegrown frozen staples.

10. Random celebrity encounters. Like that time when André 3000 was shopping alone at the DeKalb Farmers Market, sans entourage, near the seafood section, all cool in his army jacket despite the July swelter and crush of onlookers, not too busy or highfalutin to shake everybody’s hand.

11. Yes, $100,000-something condos are prevalent—still—in desirable places across Atlanta. Many aren’t shoeboxes, either. And some count incredible views, particularly of central Midtown or downtown’s oldest streets.

12. Tech hub. Because Georgia Tech is a factory of coveted IT brainpower that’s more essential to the city’s business climate each year.

13. Westside escape. With its bridges, creekside vistas, and smooth, snaking pavement, the Proctor Creek Greenway trail is already otherworldly, in the best, most bucolic way. And it’s just a fraction of what it stands to be in coming years.

14. Long live the Clermont. A few years ago, neighbors were preparing to fight to save a local strip club from its new owners. It was a false alarm—the new owners view the Clermont as an asset. But that’s Atlanta.

15. Where it’s greater. With its transit connectivity, celebrated food scene, walkability, and perennial ranking as Georgia’s best place to live, Decatur gets it.

16. World’s busiest hub. With flights seemingly every minute from early morning until the wee night-time hours, the Atlanta airport is a stressful but handy launchpad of convenience, with a ridiculous wealth of nonstop flights to basically everywhere (hello, Dubai and Johannesburg). We’ll forgive a MARTA train derailment, that famous power outage, and perpetual TSA clogs.

17. Expats welcome. Because almost nobody on your street is actually from Atlanta, and that’s so normal it usually doesn’t even register. A common greeting for new neighbors: “So, where ya from?”

18. Can’t-miss Cascade. Especially in autumn, SW ATL’s Cascade Springs Nature Preserve offers ITP serenity to the fullest. Meander through 120 acres of trails, climb Civil War-era ruins, hop across a waterfall’s rocks. It’ll make even the most overstressed office dweller feel something akin to childhood awe.

19. Walkability. It’s getting vastly… better, in many places, from densifying EAV to the growing shopping avenues of central Buckhead. It’s happening, albeit slowly.

20. But... Atlanta’s still a major city where driving conveniences are largely possible, and lugging groceries on trains and such isn’t always an everyday hassle. Rush hours, however, are always plural, and Saturday traffic is, unfortunately, no joke anymore.

21. Trees of green. Friends flying in for the first time might say, “All I saw were trees—and then we landed.” A high compliment.

Curbed Atlanta

Atlanta’s canopy with the Buckhead business district at left, and Midtown/downtown at right.

22. Playspace. The restored, climbable treasure that is Noguchi Playscapes, the famed landscape architect’s work in Piedmont Park, was the only U.S. playground he completed in his lifetime.

23. Bungalows. The quintessential intown homes. Built to last, forever in vogue, and usually affixed with that most Atlanta of residential features: the generous porch.

24. Bearings Bike Shop. The community-focused nonprofit is teaching kids the value of hard work, the joy of exercise, and the viability of traversing a car-crazed city on two wheels.

25. Late-night stalwart. MJQ is a longstanding and culturally important club that welcomes anybody and everybody down into the rollicking, subterranean bowels of a former blues club. Chicago House in one room, a Whitney Houston singalong in the next.

26. Adios, Bravos. The pro baseball team left town for the monied ’burbs—and might very well have done Atlanta a favor (unless you operated front-yard parking lots). Nearby Georgia Avenue’s rebirth could show how large-scale adaptive reuse, married with new construction, can be a smartly executed replacement for storefront vacancies and so much stadium asphalt. Changes of this magnitude don’t come without gentrification fears, of course. But rows of beautiful, vacant old buildings—which could’ve doubled as a post-apocalyptic Main Street before, but are under renovation now—were doing Atlanta no favors.

27. The mother of all porch parties. Three cheers for the grassroots explosion of Oakhurst Porchfest. Founded in 2015, the autumn musical extravaganza counts 200-plus acts now, performing wherever volunteers offer their porches as stages. It’s community unification through music at its finest.

28. High Museum. The Southeast’s preeminent showcase for contemporary and classical art, housed in buildings designed by Renzo Piano and Richard Meier, is free for locals on the second Sunday of each month. How’s that for accessibility?

29. Viewrific, Part I. The approach from Douglasville on Interstate 20, over that hill, in fading evening light, the Land of Oz.

30. One of television’s best shows needed no other name than our city’s.

31. Georgia Aquarium’s bucket-list essential. For about the price of a car tire, you can swim with whale sharks downtown. And if you’re lucky, they’ll inadvertently bump you, with all the gentle power of a city bus in slow motion.

32. Curated graffiti. Running along the northern borders of Cabbagetown and Reynoldstown, Wylie Street is an ever-changing urban museum of eye-popping street murals, with a dash of biting social commentary.

33. Atlanta is where misfit street characters become local legends. Here’s looking at you, Baton Bob. And where art thou, Bicycle Shorts Man?

34. The Dungeon house in Lakewood Heights. Birthplace of OutKast, it was recently purchased by Big Boi. Hootie Hoo!

35. The Atlanta Beltline. Despite affordability challenges directly caused by the now-famous Beltline, the popular segments are socially magical, unifying things—Atlanta’s boardwalk, the Little Peachtree—and it’s barely reached adolescence at this point. Maybe one day, instead of sprawl and traffic, a mention of Atlanta anywhere in the world will conjure images of this mythical green loop. All dreamed up by a local college kid.

36. Sylvan Hills. The historic nabe between downtown and the airport is the prettiest neighborhood that half of Atlanta’s never heard of.

37. Scooter culture. Having spawned across the city in a year, the vehicles can be annoying, unsightly, and even dangerous for pedestrians and bicyclists. But the two-wheel zeitgeist beats all those lawbreaking riders driving alone in 4,000-pound street cloggers, right?

38. Raising the bar. Rooftop restaurants and bars have multiplied tenfold (roughly) in recent years, highlighted by Ponce City Market’s vintage amusement park in the sky and Hotel Clermont’s unpretentious new hang. About time.

39. Our iconic downtown library is by Marcel Breuer, someone cooler than Carnegie.

40. Path Force. The Beltline’s roving, specialized, applaudable police squad is consistently effective. Despite millions of visitors to the trails, the number of annual crime incidents can sometimes be counted on one hand.

41. John Portman. The late architect’s simple idea born in downtown Atlanta—the inner high-rise atrium, designed to cheaply cool low-income buildings—revolutionized hotel design around the world.

42. A growing legacy of rather badass sports statues. There’s Hank Aaron swinging through his record homer, shredded Evander Holyfield (currently MIA), sculptural Olympics remnants, Dominique Wilkins in mid-dunk, and that incredible Falcons sculpture.

43. Viewrific, Part II. The downtown skyline from that stoplight, facing west, where Freedom Parkway meets Boulevard. It’s the famed Jackson Street Bridge vantage point, immortalized in The Walking Dead Season 1 poster, panned out.

44. Park potential. Bellwood Quarry’s green space initiative could finally bring that side of town the Piedmont Park it deserves.

45. Commercial survivors. Poncey-Highland throwback DVD rental spot Videodrome and dive-bar stalwart Righteous Room are here to stay forever! Probably.

46. Road trips galore. From Atlanta, there’s a wealth of geographically and culturally diverse long-weekend options in all directions. Asheville, Savannah, the Gulf Coast, Charleston, Blue Ridge, Jekyll Island, Nashville, Charlotte, and the list goes on. Leave at lunch on Friday and reach them all by happy hour.

47. Church Bar on Edgewood. Before it was a tourist destination, the beloved Edgewood Avenue watering hole was just an unholy alliance of irreverent art, ping-pong, sangria, and a male former church deacon named Sister Louisa.

48. Atlanta United. In just its third year now, the club has scored a Major League Soccer championship and global headlines that declare this city, for once, an exemplar of fandom.

49. They don’t make ’em like Whittier Mill Village anymore. The semi-secret old cotton mill community includes 1800s homes, beautiful ruins, and Buckhead schools.

50. We took Snowpocalypse jokes—and are still taking them—in stride. Two inches of daytime snow paralyzed a major city, but hey, we made the front page of the New York Times! And inspired the creation of an SNL Weekend Update character called Buford Calloway, a “survivor.”

51. Lemony pepper wings. Order dry, with a little tub of hot sauce on the side. Graze the wing across blue cheese, and then dunk in the sauce. Bite big. And behold caloric Eden.

52. Bank of America Plaza. The world’s largest cigarette just happens to be the Southeast’s tallest building—and the ATL’s Eiffel Tower. (Sorry, Big Chicken.)

53. Purposeful art. With poignant murals, impressive permanent pieces, and a civil rights installation series where historical events actually happened, the Beltline’s Westside Trail artwork is stepping up the game. Ditto for the Eastside’s series, and William Massey’s awe-inspiring pieces made of garbage found on streets.

54. Viewrific, Part III. Sure, the ginormous chiseled Confederates are awkward at best, and embarrassing at worst. But evenings and sunrises atop Stone Mountain are religious experiences (literally, every Easter, with church services). Up there, find unparalleled vistas of so much rippling green, cast pink, with the glint of skyscrapers in the middle distance.

55. Adair Park. Blight and disinvestment didn’t diminish the beautiful old bones of this historic place.

56. The Atlanta Tech Village in Buckhead is the real deal. A tech hub that’s spawned big local companies—and a lot of cushy salaries.

57. Car-free lifestyles no longer seem crazy. Alternate transportation commuters are becoming more prevalent by the year—and proving that living without a car (gasp!) is possible in Atlanta. (See: the saddlebags and backpacks accessorizing business attire along the Freedom Park PATH Trail during weekday rush hours.)

58. No shortage of swingin’ highrise pools. It’s like a subculture unto itself, from late April to September.

59. We have the Southeast’s largest burial ground, and it’s beautiful. More than 100,000 people have been laid to eternal rest across Westview Cemetery’s 600 acres, which is centered around a gorgeously ornate mausoleum and chapel.

60. Lest we forget Oakland Cemetery. Atlanta’s oldest public green space is a historical, durable, accessible intown treasure that really knows how to party. For proof, see the long-running, multistage Tunes From the Tombs festival.

61. The National Center for Civil and Human Rights is > the NASCAR Museum that Atlanta “lost” to Charlotte.

62. Pittsburgh Yards. This southside Beltline redevelopment is centered on the creation of jobs in underserved places—instead of $3,000 apartments and $13.50 bespoke kale bowls—and it could be a game changer.

63. Buckhead’s tallest building, the Sovereign tower, still stands out, architecturally. And it could soon have a big blue modernist sibling.

64. Venturing OTP won’t actually kill you. Resurrected and richly historic downtowns are in abundance in the Atlanta suburbs. Like, everywhere. Find a half-dozen worthwhile day-trip destinations in Gwinnett alone.

65. The Atlanta splash pad, a social oasis and absolute godsend. And even better: More splash pads are in the works, from Vine City (definitely) to Chosewood Park (probably) and Kirkwood (maybe). About damn time, say toddlers across Atlanta.

66. Queer culture is thriving. That’s epitomized by Atlanta Pride, which is more massive than ever after almost 50 years (and now family-friendly, for better or worse).

67. English Avenue’s Mattie Freeland Park. Founded and controlled by neighbors, the tiny green space is a shining example of small but vital civic strides in historically troubled places.

68. The Chattahoochee River. A revived and unspoiled (if underused) resource for every season.

69. Insert here: A non-cheesy, non-obvious, pithy ode to the Varsity, that legendary fast-food drive-in—still the world’s largest after 90 years. Don’t mention “What’ll ya have?” Ah, never mind.

70. Music Midtown. For all its faults (overcrowding, lawn damage, neighbor inconvenience, lineups geared toward teens), the reborn multistage extravaganza is a dynamic and diverse musical showcase every September. Walk barefoot across lush Bermuda and dance like only 75,000 people are watching.

71. Ted Turner’s legacy. The media maverick and early Atlanta believer has been called an inspiration by people as disparate as Ted Koppel and Killer Mike.

72. The reinvigorated cyclorama. Once bedraggled, the restored cyclorama—one of America’s largest historical artifacts—is now in good hands, presented in a state-of-the-art showcase at the Atlanta History Center. That’s where it’ll be until infants of today are septuagenarians. At least.

73. Almost every Atlantan has some tale about the cast or production of The Hunger Games, The Walking Dead, Stranger Things, Baby Driver, etc. And hundreds of us have rented our homes for movie and TV shoots. Cha-ching.

74. Atlanta Streets Alive. The occasional street-closure sensation (with attendance routinely north of 120,000) illustrates a dream scenario, in terms of biking/pedestrian infrastructure and how cities of the future could yield to people over automobiles.

75. Inspiring architecture—seriously. In a few too-rare cases, large-scale design is getting quite interesting. Find several forthcoming examples on Howell Mill Road alone. And approach the Jenga-d facade of Midtown’s new lilli tower from any angle at twilight.

76. The Beltline’s Northside Trail. It’s a tucked-away, leafy, unsung jewel—with a rail bridge underpass that could stand as a top Beltline highlight forever.

77. Relaxed ganja laws in the City of Atlanta. Anyone caught with a bag of pot in the city can face—worst case—a $75 fine now. But even that’s left to the officer’s discretion. And judging by the pungent wafts from innumerable cars and so many porches, the memo on that was widely read among intowners.

78. The Goat Farm! Westside ruins turned artist hive. Now don’t let redevelopment gut its inimitable soul!

79. Where the expressions “Y’all!” and “Yo!” coexist harmoniously—and sometimes come from the same mouth.

80. Inman Park Festival. A late-April tradition for almost half a century, this fest is Atlanta’s greatest neighborhood showcase. It’s proof that even prestigious places need not take themselves too seriously.

81. These directions make sense in Atlanta-ese: “Head up the Connector, around the Grady Curve, beyond the Brookwood Split, past Spaghetti Junction, barely OTP, and then…”

82. Record shops keep it spinning. From the hippest gritty neighborhoods to the far-flung ’burbs, ATL vinyl is alive and well.

83. The original Lantern Parade. A luminous Atlanta Beltline tradition—now 70,000 strong—unlike any other.

84. Moonlight drives. The city’s nonsensical roadway design actually makes for more interesting (if impractical) drives, once you know where the hell you’re going. For a test run, take Ponce from the Majestic Diner to Decatur, late at night, windows down.

85. Because the Atlanta Hawks stayed put, right in the city’s heart. And now they’re trending like the team of the future.

86. Ansley Park. With its dizzying array of residential masterworks and unique country-club-under-skyscrapers vibe, this is aspirational living done right. Leafy and hilly at every turn, the neighborhood’s bounty of walkable green space options is almost unfair.

87. Those wondrous, weird accumulations of snow. About six times per decade, there’s a legit, if short-lived, snowfall. Added bonus: The city’s streets and parks are perfectly angled for sledding, for those rare Atlantans who actually own sleds or don’t mind embarrassing themselves on greased cookie sheets.

88. Midtown’s unyielding boom. Crane-watching (and counting) has become a pastime in Midtown. It’s the epicenter of intown’s metamorphosis, where soul-sucking surface parking lots go to die.

Curbed Atlanta

Midtown in summertime, as seen over Piedmont Park.

89. The “Atlanta’s Population Now” sign on Peachtree Road. Long a source of pride and bewilderment for this once modestly sized Southern town, the electronic metro population counter in front of the Darlington Apartments is climbing ever closer to 7 million. Fun fact: It was installed by a young billboard mogul named Ted Turner in the 1960s, when the metro’s population was about 1.1 million.

90. The potential of South Downtown. For far too long, Atlanta’s oldest, most captivatingly vintage streets have been forsaken by most investors, residents, visitors, and anyone else not headed to Magic City, a Falcons game, or the Gold Dome. Whether the trifecta of ambitious plans for the Gulch, Underground Atlanta, and Newport’s extensive portfolio can spring the district to greatness remains to be seen.

91. Castleberry Hill. Atlanta’s epicenter of authentic loft living and bohemian art galleries is also cool enough for a 2 Chainz restaurant.

92. The food. It ain’t all pulled pork, buttermilk chicken, and Frosty Oranges ’round here anymore. From Buford Highway’s international fare to Decatur’s award-winning menus and classic eateries like Busy Bee Cafe, you could live in Atlanta a decade and not sample all its eclectic deliciousness. “This year cemented the Capital City of the South’s status as a culinary force,” wrote Zagat in 2017, declaring the ATL the nation’s ninth “most exciting” food city.

93. Pre-dogwood hoopla. A sunny March weekend in Piedmont Park is like a city festival organized by the citizenry, with plenty of flying frisbees and open-container good vibes.

94. Palm trees. So what if they’re not native to Atlanta? Neither are you (probably). Some varieties really thrive here, punctuating front yards and restaurant landscapes in these subtropical climes.

95. The Fabulous Fox. It’s the site of Prince’s final concert and, when the wrecking ball loomed, legendary 1970s preservation efforts led by bands like Lynyrd Skynyrd. The glittering Fox Theatre is an Atlanta showplace like no other.

96. Viewrific, Finale. Southbound on Peachtree Road, just past Jesus Junction, that downhill vantage point captures something like a scene from the movie Metropolis, only framed by towering pines.

97. Pollen preparedness. A real downside of Atlanta’s otherwise glorious, floral springs are the swirling particles so thick they turn black cars yellow. Or streets into yellow-tinged rivers when it rains. Luckily, ATLiens aren’t fazed, popping non-drowsy Claritin, minding pollen counts on the news, or—in some cases—strapping on SARS-style masks.

98. Local beer. Suddenly, it’s everywhere! A hundred varieties not named SweetWater.

99. That being said… a frosty glass, a SweetWater 420 on draft, a Saturday afternoon in May, counting passersby from a lively patio bar, and somebody, somewhere, just started strumming an acoustic guitar.

100. We’re not “Marthasville,” thank God. (One of this settlement’s original names.)

101. Still welcoming after all these damn carpetbaggers.

Dubai/Educators=Celebrities

Dubai has always been in my “will never go” list. But as I recently learnt, “never say never” is not just a Bieber song, but also a real phenomenon.

I was in Dubai last weekend for the Global Education and Skill Forum 2017, which is casually referred to as the ‘Davos’ of education. A 2 day event that celebrates educators especially teachers, by the award of $1Mn through the Global Teacher Prize. More on this later.

My first day involved a 5-hour sleep at the airport (I was too cheap to take a cab, and metro started late on Friday at 10 am). After which I decided to take over the city by myself. Now technically this was my first ever solo trip, which if you have known me- is one of my biggest nightmares. Loneliness, not Dubai.

But recent changes in my life has propelled me to embrace and explore the possibilities of finding happiness within myself and moreover, being by myself. So there I was in Dubai, determined to entertain myself.

I obviously chose to go see old Dubai. Now fair warning, the old Dubai is nothing like old cities in India or the US. They are still new and modern looking, but not as magnanimous like the urban skyline Dubai is popular for. The markets, called “souks” are brilliant in terms of the abundance of products. Dubai’s wealth is very very visible even while traveling in the Metro.

A thing that I have never seen before and fascinated me was there was sand in place of mud, particularly visible roadside. I mean, how if we step outside the main road in India, we would step into grass or mud right? But there you step onto sad. I know it sounds obvious, but my brain hadn’t expected it for some reason.

A highlight of my trip was taking the boat from Deira to Dubai, across the creek- for just 1 dirham (which is a stark contrast to the gelato I refused for 25 dirhams). The Dubai fountain is the #1 thing on Tripadvisor for no small reason. It is a superb display of what technology can do, and extra special shout out for playing the fountain on original Chinese song of MLTR’s “Take me to your heart” (Wen Bie).

Coming to the conference, I genuinely was spellbound by the fabulousness of it, if I may. First, it was held at Atlantis the Palm, and featured speakers like UNESCO’s Director General, Australian PM, Sadhguru. Refugee Olympic team, Boko haram survivors, Bear Grylls who also jumped out of a helicopter on Palm Jumeira to bring the Global Teacher Prize onto stage- live, the winner being announced from International Space Station, and Mr. Trudeau appearing on screen to congratulate the winner. I also got to dine at Ossiano, one of the few underwater restaurants and I proclaimed via photos to my friends” this is the fanciest I am ever going to get”.

This year’s topic was “Global Citizenship”, and once you look beneath the surface of “privilege”, you see that it actually means embracing differences. Imagine a world where children are taught about human and cultural and religious difference from early childhood, and they are taught how to respect and cherish everyone. I believe thats what global citizenship stands for. How do I ensure that the world as we know, will have peace in 10 years from now? I feel this is the answer. Here’s a link to a great book by Professor Reimers from Harvard if you’d like to explore more.

But we need to talk about how much I learned in these 2 days. I learnt that it is OKAY to spend money on educators. Being in the education for development sector, poverty is something I deal with on a regular level and I always think that education should be this pious field where we don’t party or celebrate or basically not “throw” money. But I realised that probably that is why we can go from a pager to iPhone in 10 years, but our education system is identical to the one 100 years ago, more or less.

We NEED to spend money on education, to innovate and celebrate educators- no less than movie stars are. We deserve it! it was incredible to see so many people care for education, especially mostly from developing countries; a result of deliberate curation of attendees from the organisers.

The Varkey foundation had flown in top 50 selected candidates for the Global Teacher Prize for last 3 years and engaged them for 5 days in activities and the conference and honoured them every step of the way. I was overwhelmed when we were made to walk red carpet on the final night gala and “fans” asking for our autograph and photos. Upon asking why they want our autograph, they replied “Because you are Teachers!!”

Cheers to all Educators out there!
