SP The SP 100

Presenting the fourth annual SP 100: The Sunday Paper staff’s thoroughly researched, hotly debated and extremely opinionated list of Atlanta’s finest entertainers, restaurants, philanthropists, nightspots and more.

Our fellow Americans: In this time of contentious politics and tough economic realities, sometimes we need a little reminder of the things we share in common—the things that make us smile, that make us laugh, that fill our eyes and ears and our bellies with wonder.

In that spirit, we present the fourth annual SP 100: The Sunday Paper staff’s thoroughly researched, hotly debated and extremely opinionated list of Atlanta’s finest entertainers, restaurants, philanthropists, nightspots and more.

In addition to our authoritative reckoning of our city’s best ambassadors, attractions, artists and athletes, we’ve added a couple of categories this year: the newsmakers whose antics we love to talk about, and those personal trainers and fitness institutions that keep us in shape. In the pages that follow, we hope you’ll find common ground in our inventory of the people, places and things that make Atlanta the proud metropolis we all love.
