You can find some lots for like 5 or 10 bucks for a couple hours.
We parked las night near hertz 193 Peachtree Center Ave NE Atlanta, GA  30303 for $5 all evening. It was about 10 min to walk to the Coke factory.
Thanks
I am arriving motsi shabbos at 1 am or so, is that lot open? Is it safe to park there and walk to one of the Marriotts?
If I want to park Sunday morning, will I be able to find space in a cheap like that, for a few hours?

So here is a basic TR:
Day one: Stone Mountain Hike. Parking is $15 per car for the day to get into the park. There is a list of free things included in the parking pass like a stone museum, lots of hikes as well as the stone mountain hike. Additional activities are available for a fee.
Day two (Motze Shabbos): Downtown. Carriage ride around town. walked through Centennial Olympic Park to the Ferris wheel. the park has some art sculptures , fountains and other cool stuff. Drinks at sun dial which offers a 360 view of the city on the 73rd floor. It was extremely crowded though, and reservation was required even just for the bar.
Day Three: providence canyon. Its about a 2.5 hour drive from Atlanta but definitely worth it! aside for the amazing views of the canyon, you can actually hike down into the canyon floor, which is  a great experience. Just for the kicks we crossed over to alabama. We Stopped in phoenix city at the border of Columbus and hung around there for a bit.

Restaurants:
Broadway is amazing! They open at 7:00 Am. The food is excellent and very reasonably priced.
fuego mundo has excellent food! Great service. Very original menu!

Hi.  A year ago I messaged a patent attorney who works in Atlanta here on DDF.

Forgot his name. (Maybe Yossi?) He also brings in wine to ATL. I had an Emory law school question for him. Can he PM me or can someone PM me his DDF name? Thank you!

Would any of the kosher restaurants deliver to W Midtown?   I land on Sunday after they close, but want to know if they'd be able to deliver so that it's there when I arrive.

I guess that could be the answer to 75% of DDF posts.  So was asking if anyone knows, before I do that (especially so I don't have to call each restaurant, if someone has a quick answer).

a map may help as well -- the closer locations are more likely to do so -- or can pay Uber.

Lot of haters on the Atlanta Master Thread... Was just a simple question. Going back to Chicago MT where the cooler heads of the Midwest prevail.

i don't live there -- I was just looking on the map to see which of the Jewish areas/restaurants are closer to the "W" in midtown. The wiki just lists them. It looks like Toco Hills is closer, however, maybe Sandy Springs has more the actual high-quality restaurants.

Important question: I have a brother stopping over in Atlanta on the way to NY today on a flight landing half an hour before shkiah (in NY) I need a back up plan for him in case he's delayed in Atlanta.
Is there a chabad house or something that he can stay by last minute if he gets stuck?

So for anyone interested in the answer ... it's "maybe."  Chai Peking was the only delivery option, and they said they deliver when the delivery guy decides to come in ...

Meanwhile, had Fuego by Uber.  Only had a burger but was very tasty.  Gonna check out Pita Palace today. (EDIT: Went to Fuego.  Off-the-cob salad was delicious.  Plantain chips were also really great.)
