restaurant suggestions and directions to a few places you may want
to get to during your stay.
The
closest grocery store is the Publix on LaVista Road (map

and Cheshire Bridge Road. It is open 24 hours. (Map

will be on your left just after the Briarcliff Road intersection.

Restaurant
Suggestions:
Cuban: Havana
Sandwich Shop looks
like a bomb shelter on the outside, but it's completely delicious.
You can make a meal from just black beans and rice and
fried plantains, but everything else is equally good.
Middle Eastern/Lebanese: Nicola's is
right across the street from the church. They have good food and
a friendly atmosphere, and sometimes even belly dancing!
Thai: Thai
Chili has wonderful Thai food. Their
lunch combos also include soup- get the chicken coconut soup, it's
amazing. And no Thai meal is complete without Thai iced tea.
Vietnamese: C'om
Grill offers wonderful charcoal-grilled
meats with a variety of side dishes. It is pretty spicy, though,
so watch out if you're sensitive to spice!
Malaysian: Top
Spice offers Thai and Malaysian food. Again, the chicken
coconut soup is a favorite. I also like the chicken panang curry.
Southern/Soul Food: The Colonnade (get
directions) is an Atlanta classic. Don't be put off by the slightly
seedy surroundings- once you're inside eating large, reasonably priced
portions of fried okra and macaroni and cheese, you won't care about
anything else. Yum.
Breakfast: The
Original Pancake House offers
a breakfast so good, the line is out the door on weekend mornings.
Only open for breakfast and lunch.
Diner: The
Atlanta Diner has a wide variety of food, all fresh and tasty.
Cajun: Fuzzy's
Place is down the street from the hotel. It is a bar and
can get crowded, but offers delicious Cajun food and live music
and dancing. The bar and dining room are separated if you want a
slightly quieter experience.
Other
nearby chain restaurants include Moe's, Mama Fu's, Jersey Mike's
subs, Lettuce Souprise You, McDonald's, Burger King, Piccadilly
Cafeteria, Chili's, Wendy's, Einstein's Bagels, Quizno's, Outback
Steakhouse, Longhorn Steakhouse, Chik-Fil-A, Boston Market, Arby's,
Taco Bell, and Loco's Grill and Pub.
