Things to do in Atlanta
Sup guys, I'm in Atlanta all week with my pops since he's playing in a major bridge tourney and while he's playing all week I'm gonna have a lot of free time.
I was hoping some of you folks could tell me what you like to do around here, as the forums always seem to give great advice in similar situations. Thanks =P |

Re: Things to do in Atlanta
Hey Tbag, luckily for you there's a lot of 2+2'ers in the Atlanta area, so there will likely be suggestions on top of mine.
The World of Coke and the CNN Center tours are a MUST as your regular touristy-stop attraction. For historical stuff/hang with your dad, the King Center is a pretty cool trip if you're into that sort of thing. Foodwise, Atlanta is all about the Varsity. You have to stop there once, and make sure to get a frosted orange. You will thank me later. Another cool place to hang around is the centennial olympic park, as well as the fox theatre (if anything decent is playing). I'm sure more ATL'ers will expand on my initial suggestions, but as someone who has lived in suburban atlanta for 18 years, those are some of the necessities |

Can you get to Varsity a la Marta? I got a week long pass on that bitch and I intend to ride her as much as possible.

There's likely a Marta stop that's a shortish walk to the Varsity.
Also, for fine dining look up "Iris". My personal favorite restaurant in town. If you want sushi, head to Soto. |

Go check out the High Museum of Art, Whole World Theatre(Thurs. right now they are doing a joint improv show with Dad's Garage and Laughing Matters in the park apparently) , Braves Game.....I'll try to think of more things today.

Re: Things to do in Atlanta
As long as you are going down to Coke/CNN, you might as well go to Underground too. It is just another mall, but it was built where a train used to be... and it is well, under ground.
I always like going to the Hard Rock, which is only a few blocks from Centenniel Park. Drink a lot. It is going to be damn hot today. |

Better to get off at Peachtree Center or Five Points stations. When did the Vortex move out of L5P? Or is there still one there? L5P (Little Five Points) would also be good, Criminal Records is great if you're into obscure bands and comics. Inman Park station for that. |

One on Moreland in L5P, one on Peachtree in Midtown. |
