Four things to do around Atlanta on Thursday, Jan. 7:

1. FEATURED
Start planning your good deeds and volunteer activities for MLK Day of Service on January 18, 2016. [Interested in volunteering for more than a day? Check out these worthy causes in need of extra assistance.]

2. FREE & CHEAP
Bundle up and go for a brisk stroll in Oakland Cemetery while visiting some famous gravesites. [Feeling social? Get a group together and bowl up a sweat at these late-night alleys.]

3. FOOD
Make your way to BeetleCat in Inman Park, chef Ford Fry's 10th Atlanta restaurant that features a 70's and 80's vibe with a cocktail lounge and oyster bar. [You can also enjoy a meatball sub and pint for $14 at Vine & Tap that will hit the spot.]

4. FAMILY-FRIENDLY
Fernbanks Museum's "Winter Wonderland: Celebrations & Traditions Around the World" exhibit leaves on Jan. 10, so make it a priority to delight in the magic. [Over the holidays? Enlighten your mind at some of Georgia's wackiest museums.]
