Hey fellow hobbyists,

My son and I are coming to Atlanta in May for a Braves game and need some info.  We will be in town for 4 days staying near the airport.  

What I am looking for is information on good places to eat.  Looking for the places that are uniquely Atlanta.  

Also any recommendations on a provider would be appreciated too.  The only downside is I am travelling with my young son.  I am RS2K registered if that helps.  

Cheers, and thanks for the info.

So young Son in Hotel You and provider!

Come on man!  That is a pretty daft response.

It was a very serious Question.I think a important one.

It is as uniquely Atlanta as any restaurant can be.   Let us know how it goes.

Thanks!  I have read about The Varsity.  Will definately have to check it out.

What will you do with your young son?  How young?  Being rhetorical there...but,  how can you hobby with a young child?  That is beyond reproach if you ask me...but, then again...you didn't ask me.....


Good luck with your visit...I mean no ill will, my Dear.....

I have to agree. Sounds like a recipe for trouble.

You made me feel so normal...I was betraying this strong urge to write a rebuttal.
Yeah, I hobby and you provide for it, but we are not bad people.
Thank you, Khori!

can learn how to slap out the hambone too while you're there.  He'll be a hit at show and tell.

My only advice is to be a real man and be a real dad.  Enjoy the father/son time together.  I don't think your dick will explode if you go without for 4 days.  As for eating, The Varsity is uniquely Atlanta and you must go once.  But also go to the Aquarium.  World of Coca-Cola.  Be a dad!

Great activities for kids.  Neat playground in the park too!

used to be a great little place to eat BUT IDK of any lady that will visit you with your son with you.
Where the hell is your son going to be while youre getting the nookie??? I am sorry but that is very inappropriate IMO
Maybe you should do the kid thing this trip and then do the adult fun when your young son is NOT with you ;)
Hugs and kisses

in this guy and assume "the young son" is 25 or older...anything younger makes me ill

in that you need to spend more time being a dad and less time in trying to be a "guy." Don't worry about the chicks when you're in Atlanta and just worry about father/son time.

I agree with Meena that the Varsity is gross and a waste of money. Not only a simple fast food place but one with bad food and rude service. "Watta ya have? Watta ya have? Watta ya have?" Uhhmmmm.... I'm going to go with "I'll have food someplace else."

There have been several suggestions of other places to visit. I would definitely recommend you consider strongly the Georgia Aquarium and World of Coca-Cola.

Here's a couple more.

Gwinnett Braves - if you're coming into town to see them I'm guessing either you and/or your son are Braves fans. 45 Minutes north of Turner Field and you'll get to see some of the up and coming stars for a fraction of the cost.

Stone Mountain - if you haven't been it's a great place. Check out the museum, walk to grounds, see the sites. Stay late for the laser show. If you and your son are in even decent shape it's also a nice walk to the top.

Zoo Atlanta - My niece and nephew (and myself) LOVE the zoo. We go several times a year.

Fernbank Museum of Natural History/Science Center - This might not be for everyone but again my niece and nephew love it.

The Atlanta Botanical Gardens - Bring your camera because the pictures to be had are amazing.

High Museum of Art - If you have an appreciation for art this should be on your bucket list.

Michael C. Carlos Museum - Incredible collection of ancient art from Egypt, Greece, Roman, etc.

Martin Luther King Historical Site - Take the tour and learn a lot about the life of MLK Jr.

That's just off the top of my head. Point is that there are many thing you and your son can do to spend a lot of quality time together. I understand the desire to spend time with the ladies when in a strange city (I travel for a living so I KNOW the pull). Ignore the desire for some strange wetness for your little buddy  and make memories with your son.

As always, be safe and have fun

Colonnade on Cheshire Bridge ( a classic meat n 3 dinner...great bar with generous pours)
Bones in Buckhead
LaGrotta Italian (the Peachtree location, not the Dunwoody)
Brick Pit BBQ on Peachtree Industrial

don't know what kind of food you like or how old your son is, or where you're staying, but i'd recommend these:

Six Feet Under [Memorial Dr.] (Sea Food, Sandwiches Full Bar, Kid Friendly) - www.sixfeetunderatlanta.com

Vortex Bar & Grill [Moreland Ave] (Burgers galore, some kids enjoy the "decor") - www.thevortexbarandgrill.com

for BBQ:
Swallow at the Hollow - www.theswallowatthehollow.com
DBA Barbecue - www.dbabarbecue.com
Fox Bros - www.foxbrosbbq.com

MANY kinds of delicious international food on the legendary Buford Highway...Asian, Latin American, etc

might even wanna try the offerings at the Atlanta Food Truck Park & Market...food trucks offering MANY different kinds of food fare...a "food fare fair"!  LOL

Or elze this guy needz to have hiz ballz handed to the mother of hiz son on a zkewer.

Az for recommendaztionz, three square mealz a day in prizon, azz hat, and you can get ur dick wet 2.

No offense, but why would you risk your safety and freedom while you are with your child? You do realize even though a provider may be verified you risk your life & freedom every time you visit a provider. I think you should chill and have fun with your kid... go to the coca cola factory...go to the aquarium...

Some men say they have "young sons", but the kids are actually in their 20s.
My definition of "young son" is a male child less than 10 years old.

If your son is 'young' by my standards, forget hobbying altogether.
Just enjoy your time in ATL with your kid. You never get those chances for memories twice.

If your son is in his 20s, well then! The possibilities are much more varied... and might be memories of a completely different sort.  

One of my rules (if I made a list) would be "Time with Son/Daughter/Family > Time in Hobby. Always."
my 2 cents, Kosh

Consider taking your son here: http://www.medievaltimes.com/

Stay away from The Varsity! The food is awful. Since you'll be near the airport, consider eating at Malone's.

Enjoy Atlanta with your son--not with Deep Throat Suzy Q.
