airport to hyatt regency

Hi...I won%26#39;t need a car once in town. What%26#39;s the best way to get from the airport to the Hyatt Regency? About how long will it take at 6:00 p.m.?



Any good restaurants in that area?

Just put ';restaurant'; in the search box above your question, and you will get numerous threads on the subject.

Take MARTA to Peachtree Center, which should take 15-20 minutes from the airport. From there is will be an easy walk to your hotel.





Downtown has some excellent restaurants. The top choices, though pricey, are BLT Steak, FAB, and Room at Twelve. I ate at BLT recently and cannot stop raving about it. FAB, too, is fantastic, with a skate wing that is amazing. Trader Vic%26#39;s is close in the Hilton, and is incredibly fun on Thursdays when the band Tongo Hiti plays.





Where downtown falls short is in mid-range and inexpensive restaurants. If I were you I would take MARTA to midtown for those. If you%26#39;ll tell us what you%26#39;re looking for I%26#39;ll be glad to make some suggestions. If you need to eat close to your hotel, I%26#39;ll list some options. None are particularly fabulous, but they%26#39;re decent and nearby: Azio, Mama Ninfa%26#39;s, Corner Bakery (the chain), Slice, Sidebar. Rosa%26#39;s Pizza is very casual but excellent. There%26#39;s a food court at Peachtree Center that is convenient, but nothing to write home about. Willy%26#39;s (Ca style burritos) and Kameels (Mediterranean) are the best options in that food court.




MARTA Subway from the Atlanta Airport, exit Peachtree Center (N1), and follow the signs for the Hyatt Regency. Once you top the tallest escalator in the southeast, continue walking through the Peachtree Center Food Court; looking up you will see a sign directing you to the Hyatt Hotel by way of a pedestrian bridge. Very easy. Trip time about 25 minutes.




Thank you for the great directions using Marta. I%26#39;ll have to go to Trader Vic%26#39;s for a drink at least.

    We are in the initial planning stages of coming to Atlanta for a conference in November. We will be back and forth from the GWCC to our hotel each day. We are seriously considering the Hilton Garden Inn Downtown. Any reviews on this? Comments or suggestions?





    Also, one of us has a gluten allergy. Do you know of any restaurants that are accomodating?





    Thanks!



    Dinner suggestions


    Run a search on gluten on this forum. There is a prior topic on the discussion, and one woman linked to a website that discusses accommodating restaurants in Atlanta. I know that PF Changs and Shaun%26#39;s will accommodate, and Shaun%26#39;s is excellent.





    The Hilton Garden Inn is a newer hotel, so I would expect it to be nice.

    Thanks for your help! I%26#39;m just starting to plan this trip, but your advice is very welcome.

    Where to stay near Dahlonega

    I%26#39;ll be traveling to Dahlonega Ga in May. I would like advice on where to stay. None of the hotels in Dahlonega have good reviews. Any advice on where to stay? I%26#39;m looking for reasonable price, clean and safe location within a 15 mile radius.



    Thank you for your assistance!



    Where to stay near Dahlonega


    We stayed at the Holiday Inn Express in Nov 2006. It was clean and simple but just what we needed. The views of the mountains were spectacular. The hotel is on an incline and it%26#39;s a great location. A mile to downtown. You can walk it but there%26#39;s no sidewalks and the roads are steep and wind around.





    There%26#39;s not many places to stay in the area so your options are limited.



    Where to stay near Dahlonega


    We%26#39;ve stayed at that Holiday Inn Express twice. The first time was OK, the second time we had problems (dirty room, front desk staff attitude).



    On the other hand, we stayed once at the Days Inn next door and it was a disaster (although this was several years ago).



    Dahlonega%26#39;s best known for cabin rentals, not hotels. Depending on how many nights you%26#39;re staying, I%26#39;d say either take the HI Express or maybe check out one of the B%26amp;Bs.




    Thank You! I%26#39;ve decided to go to Charleston instead! :)




    Take a look at the Park Place Hotel down on the Square.. Right in town, new and beautiful rooms, flat screens, large Suites, free Starbucks and wine.. Second to none




    If you want to stay at a special place, Mtn Laurel Creek Inn %26amp; Spa just only ten minutes north of the town square just past Wolf Mtn Winery. 5 guest suites to choose from, they have a spa and just opened up a pub that features North GA wines. No TV%26#39;s in the room, so if you want quite and relaxation, this is the place. You can also check http://www.dahlonegalodging.com for a listing of all the B%26amp;B%26#39;s in the area.

    when will I know when I can visit

    I have gotten several letters from my son who left March 17. When will I know when he has leave?

    country captain

    can somebody tell me a restaurant that serves country captain?

    country captain

    you would have to tell me what country captain is

    country captain

    Lived in the south my whole life, and have never heard of this, guess i am not a true southerner:

    This dish, known throughout Georgia and much of the southern United States, dates to the early 1800s. There are several versions of its origin. One story says that it was introduced to Savannah by the

    captain of a vessel that plied the spice route from India. Another tale says that it%26#39;s named for the native non-commissioned officers in India--';Country Captains.'; A known fact is that it was the favorite

    entree of President Franklin Roosevelt, introduced to him by his cook at Warm Springs, Georgia.

    1 frying chicken, cut in pieces

    1/2 c flour

    salt and ground pepper, to taste

    2 tbsp vegetable oil

    2 tbsp butter

    1/2 c finely chopped onion

    1 clove garlic

    3/4 c finely chopped green pepper

    1 c sliced mushrooms

    1/2 c raisins

    1 tbsp curry powder

    1 tsp thyme

    2 c chopped canned tomatoes

    1/2 c toasted, slivered almonds


    I%26#39;ve never heard of it either and my family has always been from the South.

    There is no where in Savannah that serves that dish. It sounds good, though.


    I think it%26#39;s one of those ';sort of'; southern dishes. My grandmother used to do a chicken cooked in tomatoes dish with the onions, peppers, etc, but I am sure that she never in her whole life owned a can of curry. Nor did she use garlic. It just wasn%26#39;t one of her things.

    However, the general recipe was about the same. It was good and enjoyable. I had never heard it called Country Captain either. It was just Chicken and Tomatoes. Of course, I date back a loooonnnggg time, so the dish could be something that%26#39;s fairly new by that name in our area.

    There are a lot of Southern Recipes that use Thyme and Parsley along with the usual seasonings.


    There is a great recipe for Country Captain in the Herb Traub%26#39;s Pirates House Cookbook


    so sixth gen, does that mean they serve it at pirate ?


    you are all cold.... it was in the news and it sounded good, I%26#39;m guessing I%26#39;ts a lie or no place serves it......


    Hominy Grill in Charleston serves it - according to a NYTimes article from January 23, 2009.

    nytimes.com/2009/鈥?/a>


    Country Captain originated at FDR%26#39;s White House by one of his cooks. That cook later worked for an old Georgia family. The recipe is found in the Georgia Heritage cookbook of the Colonial Dames of the State of Georgia. I%26#39;ve never seen it in any Savannah restaurant. The use of the word ';captain'; replaces ';capon'; in the original name.

  • Basic Training 36 hour pass

    My husband is in Ft.Benning for basic training, and he gets a 36 hour pass before he starts AIT after he gets done with basic and he is going to be done with basic on the 17th of April, but will they give him his 36 hour pass on Easter weekend which is the weekend before or will they give it to him the two days after he gets done with basic before AIT?



    Basic Training 36 hour pass


    Soldiers do not get passes while in Basic Training (unless it is a family emergency). Also, Easter is not a recognized federal holiday. Don%26#39;t count on him getting a pass for Easter weekend.

    Blue ridge vs Brevard nc

    Trying to make a last minute spring break trip for my girls, young teenagers.. They love coming to the mountains, having a outdoor fire in fire pit, trout fishing and easy hikes to waterfalls. but the youngest is terrified of really tiny, twisted mountain roads to get to and from the cabins.., anyway it is April and in case the weather is yucky what can you do around Blue ridge with older kids? We were looking into Brevard due to the two parks there mt pigsah and dupont, but blue ridge is closer, or maybe blairsville. open to suggestions.. Thanks



    Blue ridge vs Brevard nc


    Blue Ridge is only 75 minutes from Town Center Mall with shopping, restaurants, etcetera. In Blue Ridge, you can always ride the scenic train to McCaysville. There are lots of shops in Blue Ridge. The bad thing is that it%26#39;s early April and the weather if ';iffy';. For example, on Monday night and Tuesday (April 6/7) there is a 25% chance of snow. The later into April you wait, the nicer the weather gets. As soon as nice weather comes, you can rent pontoon boats at the Lake Blue Ridge Marina. The lake will be full soon. The Ocoee River olympic site is aprox 15 miles away and is a beautiful area.
