OT: VISITING ATL

I am going to be in Atlanta over labor day weekend and was just wondering if there are any recommendations on attractions/restaurants/night life. I want to have a good time and make the most out of my trip. Thanks!!!! Tanya

Here's a link to fun things. http://www.atlanta.net/50funthings/index.html Things we've really enjoyed - the Georgia Aquarium, Stone Mountain, Six Flags, White Water... we aren't much on the night life....old and broke if you know what I mean! LOL! Hope you have a blast! Becky

Thanks Becky! I've been looking up so many things but sometimes they sound better then they actually are. Who better to ask then the people who live there!

The earlier post gave excellent examples for daytime activities...As for the nightlife.....The Virginia-Highlands area in Midtown is a very good concentrated area for entertainment and restaurants. It is very pedestrian friendly because it is surrounded by long established neighborhoods..."Blind Willies" is a well known blues bar. Many national acts have performed there....It is small and cozy....Crescent Avenue area also has several night spots and restaurants. A little more low key is The Vinings area. Buckhead on the north end of Peachtree Street is known for a younger/faster crowd. It has received a reputation recently for attracting a higher crime element, however. I have not been there in years, so I have no real experience to offer. Welcome and have fun! -karen-

There is a ton of fun stuff to do in Atlanta. I would suggest going to little 5 points, the aquarium, for clubbing go to Buckhead - there are tons of clubs there. For greating, try VI-HI (the Virginia Highlands). Don't forget to go to the mall of Georgia - the BEST shopping there is. Just be sure to wear comfortable shoes That is a lot of walking.

Thank you so much for all the suggestions! The aquarium and Buckhead sound fun and hey, I'm a woman so I'll definitely go to the mall. Wow, so much to do so little time. Thanks again!
