They are kicking off a series called “Hidden Midtown,” and the first event explores the restaurants, bars and food culture of Atlanta’s past.

“This is a series of scavenger hunts events and parties that show the evolution of Midtown and Atlanta history through different themes,” said Jessica Rast VanLanduyt, the deputy mission officer at the Atlanta History Center. “What we want for Atlantans to see is that history is not in the museum. History is where you live, it’s your neighborhood, and history is around you all of the time.”

Hidden Midtown: Foodies of the Past is this Sunday starting at 4 p.m. at the Margaret Mitchell House. In June, the series will look into the arts of Midtown past.
