What is there to do in downtown Atlanta, GA?

Question

I was looking for things to do on a trip to downtown Atlanta. It can be in the day or at night. I'm not looking for any tourist attractions, because I live in metroAtlanta and I've seen them before. I really just looking for chill places to hang out.

Answer 1

The funnest thing to do in Atlanta is drive to a city that doesn't suck.

Answer 2

If you like shopping I like Lenox Mall, and phips plaza on peachtree rd in buckhead the two are basicly across the street from one another

of course there is the atlanta aquarium, the high museum of art, the atlanta botanical gardens, the atlanta zoo, etc... if you are interested

There are alot of good restaurants in atlanta depending on what you are looking for

If you like sushi, try Nikimotos, corner of piedmont and tenth st, or Bluepointe on peachtree rd in buckhead, across from lenox mall

If you like indian try Desi Spice on monroe dr

If you like burgers try the vortex in little five points on moreland ave

If you like italian, try Pricci on Phar road in buckhead, or La grotta (one of the oldest italian restaurants in atlanta) on peachtree rd

If you like mexican/southwestern try Nava on west paces ferry in buckhead

If you like thai, try the royal orchid in the midtown arts area, 10th street and monroe ave

If you are looking for steak, try Chops, they are on west paces ferry in buckhead right next to Nava

If you want a great cuban sandwich, cheap, go to cool corners on 14 th street, near GA Tech, looks like a hole in the wall, but they make the best cuban in atlanta

But my main advise on girls night out, if you like strippers, go visit Swinging Richards, one of the largest male srtip clubs in the country. It is located on Northside drive, don't judge by the guys on their web page, seems like they pick the ugly ones to put on there. They have the hottest strippers. I have even met a few celebs there

As far as clubs, visit club 1150, on cresent ave, next to a few nice restaurants, and around the corner from the 4 seasons hotel

Halo is a little more laid back, diverse crowd, but still upscale. It is in the basement of the old biltmore hotel on west Peaachtree @ 6th st

Two others if you don't mind going to a g*y club(hot guys, just no chance of taking them home)

The Wet Bar on 960 spring st used to be warehouse 960

The Jungle on Faulkner Rd, where thae chamber used to be, off cheshire bridge

And I forgot to mention Spice, it is a great upscale/trendy restaurant as well as a place where they hold afterparties (often going till 8am) from time to time. Located at juni[er at 5th st, right down the road from where backstreet used to be

most maybe not so kid friendly, though the aquarium, zoo, botanical gardens, and museum are. Oh, another one I loved as a kid was fernbank
