[QUOTE="RLR, post: 163252, member: 486"] The most important advice anyone on this site can give you is don't drive. Atlanta rush hour in midtown sucks. Add a GT football game & it's basically an ice storm out there on the roads - aka abandon your car and all hope and walk. You should download Uber and Lyft before coming. If you haven't used these services before, you can probably get a promo code for your first ride free. with a large enough group, you could escape the trip without paying. [B]Where to eat [/B] [LIST] [*]Don't waste your time at the Varsity [*]South City Kitchen for friday morning breakfast [*]Optimist, Vortex, front page news, rira are solid choices for pregame food/bar/outdoor seating and a walkable distance (mile or so) from campus [*]In general, if you're on foot, you'll find the best food east of campus between 5th street (west boarder) and Peachtree Street (east) and between north avenue (south border) and 14th (north) [/LIST] [B]Where to get boos / tailgate supple [/B] [LIST] [*]Macs liquor and Publix - right next to each other on Spring street, a block or two from campus [*]5th street bridge (5th street and spring street, you can't miss it) is my recommendation for tailgating, but plenty of nice spots on campus if you want less of a city feel [/LIST] [B]Bars / nightlife [/B] [LIST] [*]If you're under 24, Buckhead. if older, then consider going elsewhere. [*]When in the strip club capital. . . the cheetah is definitely a GT tradition and a block from campus on Spring St. if you want a quasi strip club experience that's more wife friendly, clermont lounge is still fun. And then there's always diamonds of atlanta... [*]Crescent street in midtown has some good bars. it's close to Tech. since you're out of town, it may be helpful to know that "midtown bars" are usually associated with the gay bars at the intersection of piedmont & 10th street. [/LIST] [B]Hotels - [/B]not sure what your price range is, or what prices are, but anything near GT on a gameday is probably going to be expensive. I'd book early.
