Chamblee, Georgia
Not every adventure needs a suitcase. For an easy morning out, my son and I grabbed coffee at the Downwind Restaurant at DeKalb-Peachtree Airport and watched the planes take off and land.

Why we recommend it
- Front-row plane watching. The patio looks out over the airport’s runway.
- Toddler-approved. Little plane lovers can watch takeoffs and landings while you sip your coffee.
- Close to home. It’s right in Chamblee, an easy drive from Atlanta.
- More plane spotting. Doc Manget Memorial Aviation Park, by the airport, is another spot to watch the planes.
Tips for going with a little one
- Check the restaurant’s hours before you go, since they can change.
- Pack a bag with a bottle, snacks and diapers so you can stay a while.
- Ask for a patio seat for the best view of the runway.
