Getting Around

Marta is the name of Atlanta's transportation system. Check out the website: itsmarta.com. That will give you both rail and bus info. The closest train station is College Park Train Station. This will take you right to the airport and downtown Centennial Park where a lot of the tourist attractions are.

Essentials

Not my favorite grocery store but you can't beat the convenience of it's location. Great for essential items like eggs, milk, OJ, bacon. If you are looking for better produce or organic there is a Publix grocery store on Camp Creek Parkway 5-10 minute drive.

Parks & Nature

Small neighborhood park a few blocks away. Great if you have children. There's playground equipment and area for them to run, along with a walking path / track. If into tennis, there are lighted tennis courts. Picnic area with tables and grills.

Believe there are 4 of these restaurants in Atlanta. Duplicated because the food is good and portions big to where you will not leave with extra space in your belly. Breakfast food is the specialty. Be aware on weekends there may be a wait. Also they do not take credit cards so have cash on hand. There is a bank with ATM across the street.

Recently discovered this place. Sammie is the owner / chef and talented artist responsible for the eclectic atmosphere. Not a budget place but with the food quality, I think great value. Learned Sammie had a restaurant years ago on Old National then ran a B&B. The man knows food. Friendly staff. Open for dinner.

English pub / restaurant. One of my faves to sit at the bar with a pint. Usually I go by myself and always have great conversation. Recently sold, imagine the new owners will keep a good thing going. A little more pricey but offers nice atmosphere. Open lunch and dinner / closed Saturday and Sunday however that may have changed.
