BiteLines Atlanta Food Tours has returned to Atlanta’s food scene, having restarted operations on March 2. BiteLines offers interactive culinary tours along with the cutest dog crawl you’ve ever seen on the Atlanta BeltLine.

Since launching in 2019, BiteLines has hosted hundreds of tourists and locals eager to explore Atlanta’s acclaimed food and street art scenes.

When Are BiteLines Atlanta Food Tours?

BiteLines Food and Street Art Tour on the Atlanta BeltLine will take placde every Saturday, providing tour guests with an immersive experience that showcases Atlanta’s diverse food scene and celebrated street art along the Atlanta BeltLine.

Starting at Krog Street Market, tour guests will sample the diverse cuisines that make Atlanta a foodie town, while relaxing over fruit-infused margaritas.

Along the way, a BeltLine expert shares hidden gems and secrets behind the city’s street art, including ties to Hollywood, as well as an overview of the BeltLine and how it is transforming Atlanta.

“The Atlanta BeltLine is reshaping Atlanta, making it a more walkable and desirable city,” said Nicole Gustin, Founder & CEO of BiteLines Atlanta Food Tours. “We love showing off the trail to tourists and metro Atlanta residents by giving them a curated sampling of some of the city’s most popular restaurants, and sharing stories behind the creative street art that earns Atlanta a national reputation.”

What’s Changing
In addition to its flagship tour, BiteLines announces the expansion of Barks and Bites: Doggie Crawl on the Atlanta BeltLine. This one-of-a-kind restaurant crawl for dogs is entering its second year, and will expand to twice a month starting in March.

On Barks and Bites, dog-friendly restaurants prepare a gourmet dish for canine customers, while their “paw-rents” get small bites and a craft beer. There is even a special “dog brew” for canines. Pups also go shopping at dog boutiques and take home giveaways from local and national dog brands, including: Piedmont Bark, Brutus Bone Broth, Dulces de Luna, Rubys Rootin Snootin Snuffles, Bees Bark Bar, Woofgang Bakery & Grooming, The Clean Dog and more.

With the expansion of the dog crawl, BiteLines is giving back to the community in 2024.  A portion of the crawl’s proceeds each month will go to animal rescue organizations across metro Atlanta, as well as one national organization. Selected charities are:

·      March: Paws Atlanta

·      April: Furkids

·      May: Atlanta Humane Society

·      June: Atlanta Lab Rescue

·      July: Angels Among Us

·      August: none

·      September: National Brittany Rescue & Adoption Network

·      October: Rescue Me Georgia

·      November: LifeLine Animal Project

“We are dog lovers, and that’s why we created this fun restaurant crawl for doggies,” Gustin said. “There is nothing more heartwarming than seeing happy pups bring smiles to the faces of their paw-rents. With the popularity of this event the past year, we are able to expand and give back to our community. We chose these animal rescue organizations because we see how their volunteers work tirelessly to help dogs and cats, and we cannot thank them enough.”

BiteLines Atlanta Food Tours launched in the fall of 2019, just months before the COVID pandemic largely shut down businesses in Atlanta. The company resumed its tours in June 2021. In March 2023, BiteLines rolled out Barks and Bites, a one-of-a-kind restaurant crawl for dogs.

Final Bite

Quiet is kept, some of the best restaurants are on the Beltline, the urban playground that connects many of the city’s most diverse neighborhoods.

Atlanta has other cool eateries as well. If you’re gluten-free, there’s plenty of options. Same goes for keto-friendly restaurants or Asian fare in Atlanta.
