Got a date in Atlanta...need some help.

[AU Chevy]

Alright I asked this girl out and she said yeah....she lives in Atlanta and I don't know jack about it.  Just wondering if anybody has some suggestions for a romantic spot.  Yeah I'm a hopeless romantic.

I'm from Houston, but I worked in Atlanta, GA for about 6 months on a consulting project 2 yrs ago.   I flew my girl over to me...

 

We started the day off early, I took my, then girlfriend, soon to be fiance', and now wife, to the Rose gardens near downtown (off some street with Peach in it ;) ).  It was truly amazing, and I KNOW she had a great time.  Then we went to lunch at some famous sports bar (can't remember the name of it, Champ's I think).  Then, we drove out to Stone Mountain, to see the place, and the laser light show at night.  It was a VERY cool date.  There are lots of good restaurants for dinner, so you don't have to think to hard about that.

 

Hope this helps, if I can think of anything else in the area... I will let you know.

I took my girlfriend to a Braves game on our first date. She said it was the best first date she ever had. But with yours living in Atlanta, she might not be to interested in that. But if you do take her, make sure you "watch" her and not the game.

 

BTW, if she lives there, ask her where a hot spot is. She most likely has a favorite spot.

The Stone Mountain laser show is a great place for a date. Take lawn chairs or a blanket because you sit on the lawn looking toward the carving on the mountain.

 

There are way to many great places to eat to just name one.

But Mary Mac's tea room on Ponce De Leon is an Atlanta tradition for home cooking.

 

Of course the Varsity is the most famous drive-in in the world.

 

There is always Six Flags amusement park, High Museum of Art

Atlanta Zoo etc.

[AU Chevy]

The botaniacal gardens is a perfect idea.  

Stone Mountain is good....We've done it before....in a group of course...probably be better with just us two.

Varsity will have to check into that.

Thanks

 

I have known here for 5 years now, so this first official date is equal to about the 4th or 5th date.

I envy you guys.  

 

I'm probably the biggest Atlanta Braves fan this side of the Mississippi River (As evident on my license plate "GOBRAVS").  Unfortunately, I live in Idaho, so I still have yet to see a Atlanta game in person.   The wife and I are planning on heading to Atlanta sometime during the '03 season to catch a few games.  Those of you who live in that area, how do you like it?  I'm thinking of asking for a company transfer to that area if we like it next year.

Most people I talk to like it.  My friend likes it but her rent is obscene.  700 a month for a place that is maybe 3/4 the size of my place, my rent is 370 with basic cable and water included.  Only drawback is I have to commute to campus.

[TxDoc]

I guess Freaknik and the Gold Club are maybe not such good ideas.

[AU Chevy]

I don't know about that....she has mentioned it before.

[Blazer]

370!!!  how big is your place??

 

In So CA. a 1000 sqt apartment out side of LA will run you $1300 a month.

 

700 would be sooo nice...

 

 

Blazer...

[AU Chevy]

370 with my cat.  It is probably 750 to 800 SFT.  Plenty big for me 1 bedroom/1bath.  2 closets in the bedroom, another closet and a linen closet in the hall, utility room with w/D hookups.  Kitchen, living room, and an area for eating, balcony.  Not bad.  There are a lot of older people and invalids that live mainly on the first floors, works out....they keep an eye on the place, more single fams than students.

 

$1000    for rent.  I guess that is the whole higher cost of livin' out there.

[bscottb]

You definitely don't want to be in town for Freaknik !

 

 

I believe the Gold Club closed after the trial last year. It was a money laundering place for organized crime. Several pro atheletes testified, including Andruw Jones of the Braves.

[k1500chevy97]

dont go to Strokers . You should go to the club called 112

[kaspar139]

I have also heard Buckhead is a great place to go party, maybe not the most romantic DATE place, but cool to go to nonetheless.

[AU Chevy]

Heh, she lives in Buckhead.  Yeah I almost went to Freaknik back in 95'...thought it was just a huge cruising event to go and see and be seen.  I don't know if my country music would of been welcomed blastn' from the s-10. :but:

I remember the Gold club too,  this was another adult spot she mentioned.
