Hello! I just found out that I will be going to Atlanta for a few days next week (staying at the Crowne Plaza Hotel, Atlanta Perimiter NW). It's a quick trip... but I would really appreciate any advice so I can make the most of it! I've never been to Georgia before.

I will have a few hours free on the day I arrive - is there anything I shouldn't miss? I won't have a car, but am happy to use the public transportation system.

Also - any tips where I should eat dinner? I have two nights... lunch will be through work (all of my meetings will also be at the hotel), but dinner is on my own. I like almost anything - but I will be alone (so need a safe area for after dark), and really don't like to eat at the "chain" restaurants.

Any ideas/tips/suggestions are most appreciated!

Thank you!
