while I'm in Atlanta? What's the one fun thing that cannot be missed? A good restaurant, a museum.... anything amazing!

My two favorite spots are NY Prime and Kevin Rathbun's Steakhouse. There are several great places to eat in town, but no one tops NY Primes Chilean seabass!

The World of Coke
The GA Aquarium
Braves game
MLK jr's museum
Stone Mountai

rathbun's is the place to go if you can get away

I'll try to check it out!

If you like art the high museum is pretty cool, science go to fernbank, Archeology mummies and shit the carlos museum on the emory campus can't be beat.  You really should also go to the varsity for a chili dog!  have fun.

OMG! Where have you been? lol   Damn call me when you can I miss talking to you!
To the OP I LOVE Hals and I also love Capital Grill. I like meat! lol You could also just call a few of us ladies and we would be more than happy to show you around  
Welcome to Atlanta
Hugs and kisses

Lol!... I'm a big fan of the meat myself. We should catch up soon

Go to the Westside Market and stroll around, great food and shops, http://westsidepd.com/visitor-information.  The best coffee shop in Atlanat is Octane (http://octanecoffee.com/westside/) south on Howell Mill and the coolest artist area is the Goat Farm around the corner off Huff from Westside Market.  It has a pay what you think it should be coffee shop.

Thank you!!!! So helpful!

Thanks sweet Sloan!

Masters, Vermeer, Rembrandt, etc.  Great art Museum!

Atlanta landmark....on the other hand, you probably want something GOOD foodwise

I am ready for us to "meat" up lol Will be good to see you again :

depending on what you are looking for. Here are a couple of suggestions that you might find interesting.

But first off I'm going to suggest avoiding the Varsity. Yes it's an Atlanta tradition and a landmark and yada yada yada. It's a fast food restaurant with rude people, rude service and gross food. It's basically a grease pit for indigestion and gas. Just my $.02.

Atlanta Braves/Gwinnett Braves - if you like sports the Braves are leading their division (not saying much as the National League East sucks this year but STILL they are leading). Gwinnett Braves are a chance to watch (at a very affordable price) some future stars of baseball.

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.

High Museum of Art

Michael C. Carlos Museum

Martin Luther King Historical Site

Fernbank Museum of Natural History/Science Center

The Atlanta Botanical Gardens

Zoo Atlanta - I go several times a year as I love animals and enjoy taking pictures. You're lucky in that thus far this year we haven't had the typical heat/humidity of an Atlanta summer.

As always, be safe and have fun

the whale sharks at the GA Aquarium and other touristy things to be found around Centennial are great attractions.
The Varsity off North Ave is a landmark and a delight for any grease lover.  Chilli dog with onions, a Frosted Orange, and a order of onion rings work just fine for me when I get that craving

See some local flavor...many listed here, I will reiterate:
The Varsity...Marginal Food, at best, but a local landmark and definitely falls into the "Must See" Category
The Vortex...Best burgers and atmosphere for fun anywhere, tops my list of must see's for food.
and, as for the sleeze factor...head on down to the Clermont Lodge, just to say you've been there.

Stone Mountain does fireworks on selected nights (if you're not busy)

Out on the southwest side of town is Historic Banning Mills.  Ziplining through the trees, including one of the longest lines in the northern hemisphere-- the 2300 foot screaming eagle

The first being the one in Little Five points.  If you're a bit artistic hipster type, Little Five is definitely a place to check out.  The Vortex is one of the prominent buildings in the area where you walk through the mouth of a skull to enter.  Reading the menu alone is worth the visit.
