The doctors over at comprehensive dentistry know that I don't want to be there and are always accomodating and fast. They don't make conversation with their hands in my mouth and get me on my way as I would like to be. Staff is friendly- but for me, efficiency is the key point of any dentist visit. more

This is my doctor and will be as long as I live in the area. The staff is really kind and super helpful. Dr, Newkirk is just a pager away whenever her patients need her. Because of this, wait times for your appointment are often 20 minutes for more, but I feel its worth the sacrifice. more

This is where the law firm where I work has their annual luncheon, and they have never disappointed. Service, ever for a huge group is amazingly prompt and the food is always great. I highly recommend Alfredo's. more

It's hard not to love the South. With its quintessential Southern hospitality, warm personalities and even warmer weather, Atlanta, Georgia fits in ideally as a major player in the Deep South. But don't let the slow, Southern drawl and the neighborly vibe fool you. Atlanta is not only a friendly town of charm and manners but also a quickly burgeoning metropolitan of business and entertainment.

Those who visit Atlanta for the first time will undoubtedly head first to the nearest eatery for some down home, Southern cookin'. A great pick would be one of the local favorites, The Watershed which offers classic Southern dishes such as Fried Catfish and Butternut Squash Pancakes with Braised Cabbage and Gingered Beets. Or hop on over to Dogwood Restaurant where they offer a one of a kind Grits Bar with caramelized sweet onions and 'Vella' dry jack along with your choice of Zinfandel braised short rib, hickory smoked bacon and quail egg or Crawfish aioli. But be warned, this isn't your Grandmother's cooking. This is true Southern classics to perfection.

If you're looking for some fun after your meal make sure to check out the World of Coca-Cola where visitors can experience a 4-D multisensory theater, witness a Coca-Cola bottle being built on an assembly line as well as sample over 70 different beverages from around the globe. After that stop by the Georgia Aquarium where you can get a close up view of sharks, whales, otters, (even Australian sea dragons!) and a multitude of other aquatic animals from across the globe; as the world's largest aquarium they sure have it all. And if the kids aren't worn out yet, be sure to check out Imagine It! The Children's Museum of Atlanta.
