Social media influencer and teacher Jere Chang's best day in Atlanta

A perfect Atlanta day for Jere Chang, a self-described "lesbian Mr. Rogers" whose TikTok skits and Instagram clips have won over millions of parents and kids, involves a lot of Beltline.

Here's how the elementary school teacher, who lives in Kirkwood with her wife and kids, would spend the ideal 24 hours in Atlanta.

State of play: Chang, who was recently included among Atlanta Magazine's 21 reasons to love Atlanta, is writing a book about her career journey to help other educators thrive in the profession.

Wake up: The Sugar Hill, Georgia, native starts her day with a small, hot oat milk latte and raspberry cheese Danish from the PERC coffee shop near the Kirkwood home she shares with her wife and kids.

Morning: The family hops on the Atlanta Beltline Eastside Trail and pedals to the Thomas Taylor Memorial Skate Park in Old Fourth Ward for people watching and mural admiring.

• Maybe beforehand they'll include a visit to Bessie Branham, Walker or McKoy parks.

Lunch: Krog Street Market is an easy option "because we can choose from pizza to sushi to whatever," Chang said.

• If they're sticking closer to Kirkwood — almost everything Chang could need is within a short walk of her house, she says — they'll go somewhere with a patio like Elmyriachi or Universal Joint in Oakhurst.

Afternoon: After ice cream at Jeni's, the family posts up on the benches outside of the Patagonia store. "My wife and I sit there forever and just watch people walk by," she says.

Yes, but: Jere and her wife have been Atlanta Falcons season ticket holders since before they had kids. "If I really got a wild hair up my butt? We'll get on the train, head to the Benz, and watch the Falcons. Hopefully we win."

Dinner: Jere and the family will play it close to home, like Bell Street Burritos, Mix'D Up or Glide Pizza. She also has a soft spot for Urban Pie in Kirkwood.

• Jere's wife is the foodie in the family, Chang says, and enjoys leading expeditions to Buford Highway to sample dishes at Lee's Bakery, Canton House and more.

Evening: In the evenings, Chang and family head to downtown Decatur to spend time in the Square and listen to street musicians.

• "When I say music, it's like somebody with a guitar and amp, we'll just go out there on the grass and kind of hang out."

Night: Once the kids are put to bed, Jere spends an hour watching easy-to-follow TV shows — think crime dramas or medical series — to unwind (and reply to social media comments).

• "I usually get about an hour a night that's just like mine. And so I'll just kind of watch something easy to watch… or just something really low key."
