All the food here is vegetarian. Even the "chicken," "beef," and "fish!" That may sound weird, but it's really really good!

I never thought I'd recommend chicken tenders to anyone. But these are unreal. Sooooo tasty. The food is like an Asian twist on chicken tenders, and you should try one of the bowls with rice and chicken pieces. Thank me later.

Martin Luther King Jr. Þjóðminjasafn
450 Auburn Ave NEReally well-put-together museum that is almost a theme park, really... including a 3D movie with a motion simulator, etc. But you know why you really wanna go there. The tasting room. That's right. As much as you can stand of hundreds of Coca-Cola products. Warning -- seriously, don't overdo it.

There really isn't anything left to SEE here. But just in case you are curious -- this was the location of Studio One, a recording studio where a lot of iconic 70s Southern Rock was recorded -- including "Free Bird." I kid you not. So if you are so inclined, you could go there and raise your cigarette lighter to the memory of Lynyrd Skynyrd.

5001 Peachtree BlvdFamily Dollar isn't very nice at all -- it's actually depressing, I think -- but it is the closest grocery store to the house, so if necessary you can walk there for a few groceries. There is a closer mercado which is very small -- I haven't checked it out yet to see how much it carries. It's basically on the way to the Family Dollar if you want to check it out too.

Entertainment & Activities
Only 5 minutes from the house by car. You do have to take a round-about way to get there because it's on a one-way street. Typical movie theater.

It's a bit of a drive from the house, but this is one of those places that will serve you food and drinks while you watch a movie. It's fun.
