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.

  • Dinner suggestions

    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.

  • Great Comedy Club this weekend in Atlanta?

    We are staying at the Ritz downtown and wanted to see if there were any really good Comedy Clubs fairly close ...... thanks!!



    Great Comedy Club this weekend in Atlanta?


    Your only real option is the Laughing Skull Lounge next to the Vortex in midtown:



    http://www.vortexcomedy.com/





    There is a comedy club in downtown on Marietta, but it is in a terrible neighborhood and is really ghetto. Avoid that. The only other comedy clubs near Atlanta are in Sandy Springs and Roswell.





    I would recommend instead going to an improv show or comedic play at Dad%26#39;s Garage Theater or Whole World Theatre.



    www.dadsgarage.com



    www.wholeworldtheatre.com



    Great Comedy Club this weekend in Atlanta?


    thanks :) - dads only has shows on friday nights ............ how close would the other one be to our hotel at the downtown ritz?




    Whole World is about 2.5 miles from the Ritz. Short cab ride, or you can easily take MARTA from the Peachtree Center station up to Arts Center -- Whole World is a block west of the Arts Center station. Exit the station onto West Peachtree Street, go south (left) to the crosswalk at West Peachtree and 15th, cross the street, and cut through the parking lot to get from West Peachtree over to Spring Street. Whole World will be almost directly across Spring Street.




    Whole World is a lot of fun.




    Actually, though, Dad%26#39;s does have shows on Saturday. This Saturday they%26#39;ll have The B Team at 8:00 and the Theater Sports (which is improv) at 10:30. I%26#39;m partial to Dad%26#39;s Garage, in large part because I%26#39;ve been there so many times over the years, but both have really funny shows. You can%26#39;t go wrong either way.




    The Punchline isnt too far from there (10-15 miles), the Ritz may provide some transportation options:

    Rt 400 shuttle to airport

    Help Atlanta experts!





    I have a family member who would like to take a shuttle to the airport from a hotel along 400 - as far north as possible, say Windward Parkway. They live in Dawsonville.





    We would greatly appreciate your adice.





    SunNut



    Rt 400 shuttle to airport


    Why not just take MARTA to the North Springs station? They can park there during their trip, and drive home.



    Rt 400 shuttle to airport


    If you really do want to pay for and take a shuttle, you can find several by just googling ';atlanta airport shuttle.';




    I share your feelings about riding Marta, but this person is not travel savvy. She rarely leaves her small town. Sad, but true. We%26#39;re just trying to find an easy way for her to get to the airport.





    SunNut




    Seriously, though, she just sits down on the only train available at North Springs, and stays on the same train until it dead ends and tells her to get off. That%26#39;s easier than trying to find the shuttle pick-up at the airport, which is a bit of a hike from baggage claim.




    Thank you for your helpful advice. I will pass it along.

    Palm Sunday Mass

    We will be in Savannah this weekend and would like to attend Sunday mass at St. John Cathedral. Are all the morning masses the same? I read on a previous post for St. Patrick%26#39;s Day that the 8am was a quiet mass, the 10:30 a male voice and the later mass a female voice. Is this true of every Sunday, or just St. Patrick%26#39;s Day? We live in a very small rural town in Ohio and I would love for my sons to get to experience a truly amazing mass service in a beautiful cathedral. Also, are they all the palm service? At our church, only 1 service is the palm service. I looked at the cathedral website, but didn%26#39;t see the info listed.

    Thanks for any info you can provide.

    Palm Sunday Mass

    On St. Pat%26#39;s there is only one mass - the 8am.

    Every Sunday, including Palm Sunday and Easter, the schedule is 8am, 10am, 11:30am, and 1pm(Latin Rite).

    8am - no music

    10am - men%26#39;s choir

    11:30am - woman%26#39;s choir

    They also have a 5:30pm vigil every Saturday evening.

    Palm Sunday Mass

    Another great way to keep up with times when travelling is the following website:

    www.masstimes.org


    I would recommend getting there early especially if you decide to go to 10:00 or 11:30 mass - also being Palm Sunday it will be packed. They also do a Latin mass at 1:00pm - it is really neat I been to it a couple of times (not enough to remember anything, I just follow the leader).

  • Brew pubs/micro breweries

    We were in Canada last year where 2 different pubs (linked with micro breweries) offered a sample of all their beers.





    One offered 7 different samples in small glasses (each about a 6th of a pint) whilst the other had 9 different ones with a description of each one (you were even offered advice as to the order in which to drink them).





    Do any of the brew pubs do that in Savannah?



    Brew pubs/micro breweries


    This is the local brew pubs.





    www.moonriverbrewing.com/



    Brew pubs/micro breweries


    And yes they do have a nice sampler selection and very knowledgeable people if you have questions about the different brews.





    All their beer is brewed on site, behind big windows so if anything is going on, you can watch.




    I agree on moon river, not much else going on in that area SE GA is kind of a beer waste land..





    Some of the beer sites are showing a Hilton Head Brewpub over in HH which is not that far away either.




    Scowick, my home computer is dead and my work computer is actually blocking my access to the website for Moon River Brewing. Can you tell me where it located? thanks!




    Also the historic district finally has a good beer pub, Distillary. Located at Liberty and Martin Luther King.




    Moon River Brewing Company is located at 21 West Bay Street right across the street from the Hyatt.





    The Distillery is also really good if you like beer they offer a sampler (I think one dark, one light/pale, and one mixed) and also many craft beers not available at other bars in Savannah.

    Hotel help

    Arriving on a Wednesday night, after 10pm. Needing a hotel for one night. Taking the CNN VIP tour the next morning at 8am. Any suggests on where to stay? I hate to spend more than $100 since we will only be sleeping there one night, not staying long, but don%26#39;t want to be in a rundown place either. Also need something fairly close to CNN also. Not asking much, am I? Thanks for the help!





    c



    Hotel help


    If you only need 1 bed, I%26#39;d suggest you try Priceline for a 4* hotel downtown. The 4* options downtown will be within walking distance to the CNN Center. See www.biddingfortravel.com for how to use Priceline effectively.





    If you don%26#39;t want to use Priceline, the Omni is in the CNN Center. There%26#39;s an Embassy suites across the street and a new Hilton Garden Inn next to that. All would be good choices.



    Hotel help


    I agree that Priceline is your best bet. Otherwise, you%26#39;re not likely to find anywhere under $100 in that area that isn%26#39;t a roach motel.




    I have never used Priceline places, we are traveling the first week of September, so when should I start ';bidding';?




    You can get lots of advice on biddingfortravel.com, which has tips for Priceline bidding. I know you don%26#39;t want to bid too early, but don%26#39;t want to wait too late, but don%26#39;t know what the exact window is. I would suggest watching prices in Hotwire too.




    There%26#39;s an FAQ on www.biddingfortravel.com that tells you all you%26#39;ll need to know. It%26#39;s a lot of reading, but it%26#39;s worth to be fully educated for the best deal.

    Tybee Island - Great Girl's Getaway!

    My Mom, three sisters, and I (all over 50) take a vacation together each year. We come from the east coast, west coast, and northeast and each year we try to find a new beach spot on the east coast.





    This year, although it%26#39;s not on the ocean, we decided to visit Savannah, GA. What a nice surprise to discover Tybee Island was only 15 minutes away. So, rather than stay in a hotel room in Savannah, we rented a condo on Tybee. After researching lodging on the Island, we rented Sandpiper #306 through Tybee Vacation Rentals (TVR). What a great choice - TVR was highly recommended by reviewers on TripAdvisor.com and they were right.





    The 3-bedroom, 2-bath condo was oceanfront, spacious, clean, nicely decorated, and had everything we needed for a week%26#39;s stay. The staff at TVR were friendly and very responsive to any request.





    We enjoyed the laid-back atmosphere on Tybee. We walked the beach every morning and evening; visited the local shops - some tacky-tourist, some nice (check out Seaside Sisters); ate at a couple of restaurants (delicious onion rings and RazzRitas at Fannies at the Beach, good pizza from Cousin Vinnie%26#39;s); and toured the local points of interest (forts and museums and a great old lighthouse).





    Then, in a matter of minutes, we could drive to Savannah and stroll along River and Bay Streets in the afternoons. We visited beautiful Forsythe Park and had fun in the City Market. We%26#39;re all fans of Food Network, so we had to eat at Paula Deen%26#39;s Lady and Son Restaurant (good, traditional Southern buffet) and Uncle Bubba%26#39;s Oyster House (fabulous chargrilled oysters).





    We didn%26#39;t eat out a lot, because we treasured spending time together in the kitchen of our condo as we prepared our meals. Then, later in the evenings, we sat around the table playing Yahtzee and Monopoly, sipping wine as we talked, laughed, and caught up on each other%26#39;s news.





    What a great week with family! Tybee - we%26#39;ll be back!

  • What to see/do/eat on SSI?

    My hubby and I are stopping at SSI for 3 days on our way home from a trip to Spring Training in 2 weeks (our first trip; we usually vacation on Hilton Head Island). We%26#39;re staying at the Saint Simons Inn at the Lighthouse. We are in our mid-50%26#39;s and plan to spend plenty of time walking the beach and riding bikes, but we%26#39;d like to spend a little time seeing the sights in the Saint Simons Island/Jekyll Island area. Any recommendations on what we must see? Any recommendations on where we should eat? Thanks!



    What to see/do/eat on SSI?


    fort fredricka, the john wesley oak, and the site of the battle of bloody march are site seeing destinations, for eats, you are next door to southern soul bbq, barbara jeans crab cakes and the 4th of may are in the nearby village too. for finer dining you are steps from the georgia sea grill and jmac%26#39;s. enjoy your trip.



    What to see/do/eat on SSI?


    St Simons Island is very different from Hilton Head in the way of our daily life. The pace is much slower here. We enjoy nature, meeting people and having an enjoyable meal and drink. There are places to listen to live music like the village pub as well as good restaurants like The Georgia Sea Grill, Delaneys and Nazzaro%26#39;s for dinner. Barbara Jeans for lunch. But there are also the galleries and the historic sites. One not mentioned is Christ Church near Fort Federica, and the Wesley Monument. This is towards the north end of the island and very beautiful and worth exploring. The beaches are found on the east side of the island ';East Beach'; with an old Coast Guard Station that is now a Museum. Rent bikes, shop and just find new friends. You will love it here.




    My favorite thing to do when I go to SSI is to eat!!!





    You MUST make reservations at the Georgia Sea Grille, it%26#39;s a must! Upscale, seafood dining.





    My other recs are:





    4th of May for breakfast and lunch (Butter Pecan French Toast is my fave)





    Mullet Bay for a drink and bar food plus they have nice outdoor dining





    CrabDaddy%26#39;s for broiled/grilled seafood





    Crab Trap for fried seafood





    Frederica House for steaks and seafood





    Moondoggies for pizza





    Sweet Mama%26#39;s for ice cream and desserts





    Gnat%26#39;s Landing for lunch or dinner





    Enjoy! I%26#39;m going to visit my grandmother who lives there in a few weeks and I can%26#39;t wait!!!




    Thanks for the advice, everyone. We enjoyed our stay at SSI. Our only disappointment was the beach; even at low tide, the East Beach was small and crowded. Since the beach is probably the #1 ';requirement'; for our travels, we were disappointed. But even so, we%26#39;d like to make a return trip to SSI at some point. Again, thanks for the advice! ;-)

I have tried all 4 of BBQman%26#39;s top 4 picks and totally agree with him. But, it was highly upsetting when the Varsity did away with their small printed napkins. How could they? The plain white square institutional napkins are just not the same.

    The Shady Lane in Tifton GA has excellent chili dogs. We have to stop there whenever we%26#39;re in the area as my husband thinks they are the best he%26#39;s ever tasted. It%26#39;s a family owned business and is just a small drive-thru but it sure does get packed at lunch time and on Saturdays.

  • Best time to visit?

    Want to avoid high heat and humidity, as well as dodge tornadoes. Suggestions?





    Best time to visit?


    Fall - September / October



    Best time to visit?


    Winter is the best bet if tornadoes worry you, but understand that there%26#39;s no time of the year that%26#39;s immune from them -- they can happen any time there%26#39;s unusually warm or cold weather followed by a contrasting front moving through. That%26#39;s particularly true of someplace like Atlanta that has moderate weather year-round -- even in December or January there%26#39;s still a decent chance of an unusual warm spell followed by a sudden influx of colder weather, and tornadoes aren%26#39;t unknown even in those months.





    That being said, spring and summer are probably the peak times for storms, and summer has the heat and humidity you%26#39;re trying to avoid. Fall%26#39;s a good suggestion, as long as you realize that you may not be able to really count on avoiding the heat and humidity until at least the beginning of October -- it%26#39;s still pretty muggy for much of September down here most years. Atlanta%26#39;s extensive tree cover makes it beautiful in both the spring and the fall. If you weren%26#39;t worried about storms, I%26#39;d recommend visiting right now, when the green is back all over town and most of the dogwoods and azaleas are in bloom.




    The best time to visit is now! I%26#39;ve lived 10 minutes from downtown Atlanta for 20 years and have never worried about tornadoes. The azaleas, dogwoods trees, cherry trees, tulips and everything else on in bloom now.

    There%26#39;s also a location of the local Landmark Diner chain at 60 Luckie Street (just a few blocks from your hotel) that%26#39;s open 24 hours and serves all the usual diner breakfast stuff, and is reasonably kid-friendly. Besides the breakfast stuff, they have a kid%26#39;s menu with burgers, hot dogs, grilled cheese, roast beef and turkey sandwiches, chicken fingers, spaghetti, and mozzarella sticks.





    Around the corner from there, on Broad Street, there%26#39;s also a concentration of quick-lunch style places that cater to downtown office crowd (a few chain fast-food places, but mostly local/independent places), some of which will have breakfast.

    Priceline or Hotwire for hotels in Savannah?

    I%26#39;m trying to visit Savannah for an additional few days and I am trying to get a better hotel rate.





    Has anyone made reservations through Priceline or Hotwire? What hotels do they usually give in the 3.5 or 4 star range?





    Does anyone think its worth it to go through this guessing process or is it better to just pick a hotel you like and pay the price through their website?

    Havent had much luck getting a good price in savannah with either site; we usually book our hotel in Hilton Head (on the beach) and drive to savannah. I think i got a four star in HHI last fall for around $70/night plus fees. Got a similar hotel in the summer for around $90/night.



    Priceline or Hotwire for hotels in Savannah?


    I just got a four star on priceline for more than the priceline posted regular rates. Disappointing to say the least. Across the river, too.




    Is it the Westin? I went ahead and tried Priceline... we ended up with the Westin for 126 plus fees.





    The trip advisor reviews for the resort are mixed, but hopefully it will be ok.

    Starcadia

    I know it%26#39;s there, just can%26#39;t find any info on Starcadia. Can someone tell me where it is and something about it?



    Starcadia


    what is it??????



    Starcadia


    This is an amusement park/arcade off of BASS ROAD which is off 1-75 N. Many indoor arcade games. But outside, there is PUTT PUTT, race cars, think there%26#39;s a water type boat ride, and one of those jumping harness type thingees that you can get into. There%26#39;s a snack bar too. Great place for throwing birthday parties for the kids. Have adult themed nights also.




    Thanks! my son has been there with a school activity, and I wanted to go with both my children soon. I think it will be a fun trip; just need to find out how much money is needed. :)




    last time i was there, no entrance fee. You know how those arcade games can go. Some can be one token, others four or more. Your son will probably have an idea what these games cost these days.




    Starcadia has gone out of business...a victim of the recession...closed for several months now; the owners said they just couldn%26#39;t survive anymore. It was a great place for children%26#39;s birthday parties.

    Bicycle rental on Tybee

    Pack Rat at 14th %26amp; Butler rents bicycles and boogie boards. That%26#39;s where we rented last year. Butler is the main street through Tybee. Hopefully, in today%26#39;s economy they have survived and are still there. Have a great time on Tybee.
