One day/night in Atlanta--help!
 

Will be in Atlanta with car on Saturday, December 23 and have no idea what to do or where to stay. Any advise for a fun day of sightseeing, a great place to stay, and a yummy place for dinner, lunch, and breakfast? Culture and local flavor appreciated!

Any advise?
Yes, read some of the great ideas already on this board.

Dinner at Rathbun's or Bachanalia, lunch at The Varsity or Mary Mac's Tea Room, breakfast at The Flying Biscuit.

Culture: The art exhibit from the Lourve at the High Museum, the King Center.

Stay away from the malls unless you like crowds.

We just returned from a short visit. We enjoyed the Georgia Aquarium and the CNN tour. I'd stay at the CNN Omni if available. The "Coke" tour didn't do much for either one of us.

Thanks for those who actually shared personal experiences. I appreciate the kind and helpful assist.
