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

How to Get a Low-Interest Personal Loan

City Spotlight

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. Here they can partake in hands-on activities and colorful exhibits that both educate and entertain flourishing young minds.

For those with a more refined cultural palate you can't miss the High Museum of Art, one of the forerunners in art in the Southeast. From American to European, African to Contemporary, this museum offers a varying array of exhibits to inspire and awe the art lover in all of us. Similarly, the Atlanta Botanical Gardens is a natural exhibit of beauty and brilliance as it is home to over 30 acres of floral craftsmanship. The Atlanta Symphony Orchestra and its Grammy award-winning ensemble are also just as aesthetically pleasing as the aforementioned attractions and offer a perfect ending to any night.

Finally, the sports fan won't be left out as Atlanta has plenty to offer in all major leagues. From the Falcons in the NFL to the Braves in the MLB to the Hawks in the NBA, Atlanta offers a wide range of highly competitive and largely popular teams encompassing every genre.

Whatever your niche may be: culinary excellence, adventurous fun, cultural enlightenment or sports aficionado, come see what the ATL is really all about. One thing's for sure, it won't be your last visit.
