Getting Ready for Thanksgiving on the BeltLine
Thanksgiving on the BeltLine? Say less. Between the feasts, family visits, and full-on fall vibes, this is the time to lean into local and make your Turkey Day as smooth (and delicious) as possible.

Alon’s Bakery: Atlanta’s Thanksgiving Icon
A BeltLine favorite and an Atlanta classic, Alon’s Bakery & Market is serving up a Thanksgiving spread that’s chef’s kiss perfection.
The Turkey: A rarity in Atlanta, and worthy of your Thanksgiving table. Their Plainville all-natural turkey is raised with No Antibiotics Ever, meaning it’s cared for naturally from hatch to harvest — no shortcuts, no additives, just clean, honest farming. It’s brined with fragrant spices like coriander, bay leaves, and star anise, then basted in sage-herb butter until perfectly tender and flavorful.
✨ Available for a limited time — order yours from Alon’s by November 24.
🥕 The Dessert: It only comes once a year — and it’s worth every bite. Their beloved Carrot Walnut Cake is back for Thanksgiving, now with a fresh new look but the same classic recipe you’ve loved for years. Think layers of spiced carrot cake, buttery cream cheese icing, and toasted walnuts — a tradition worth savoring. ✨
🥧 Available through November 24
The Clean-Up Crew
Hosting? Time to get your home guest-ready. Local services like Maid Right of Atlanta and Peachy Clean ATL will have your house sparkling in no time — because the only thing that should be messy on Thanksgiving is the mashed potatoes.
And don’t forget the yard! Call in the pros at Metro Lawns or The Landscape Addict for a quick fall refresh. A leaf-free lawn and tidy porch go a long way when the fam starts snapping those arrival selfies. 📸
Road-Trip Ready
If you’re hitting the highway for the holidays (or picking up family from the airport), now’s the time for a quick car check. Stop by Express Oil Change & Tire Engineers (with locations near Ponce and Memorial) for an oil change, tune-up, or tire check before the Thanksgiving traffic sets in.
Hosting visitors instead? Book Atlanta Car Service for airport pickups and city rides — because nothing kills the vibe faster than fighting for a parking spot at Hartsfield-Jackson.
BeltLine Bonus Tip
Thanksgiving doesn’t have to be all stress and stuffing. Order early, clean smart, travel safe, and save your energy for what really matters: food, friends, and those post-dinner BeltLine strolls. 🌇
So light those candles, cue your chillest playlist, and toast to an effortless, Atlanta-style Thanksgiving. You’ve earned it. 🧡
