Amy and Gene's Guide to Antiquing, Dining, and Exploring Atlanta
Sharing our favorite places to shop, eat, and stay during Scott’s Antique Market weekend.
Dear Friends,
We’re so grateful to have you along on our latest adventure! This trip was full of antique finds, delicious meals, restful nights, and special moments we couldn’t wait to share. Whether you’re planning your own trip to Scott’s Antique Market or simply want a few great recommendations for your next visit to Atlanta, we hope this little guide helps you make the most of your time.
📍 Where We Went Antiquing
Scott Antique Market – Atlanta Expo Center
✨ Held the second weekend of each month
📍 3650 & 3850 Jonesboro Rd SE, Atlanta, GA 30354
📞 740-569-2800
🌐 www.scottantiquemarket.com
There are two buildings: the North Building (3650) has traditional antiques and fine furniture; the South Building (3850) leans toward new decor, jewelry, art, and more.
Tips for a great experience:
-
Arrive Thursday morning if you can — that’s when most dealers are still setting up and treasures are still plentiful.
-
Wear comfortable shoes — you’ll do a LOT of walking!
-
Bring cash or business checks to negotiate better deals.
-
If you’re looking to resell, get a sales tax number and apply for a business license — you’ll often get 20% dealer discounts.
-
Don’t wait on a piece — the best antiques are gone if you circle back later.
-
Ask the dealer for their best price (after they share their first one).
We walk the show zigzag-style, making notes about favorite booths so we can circle back quickly!
