Log Entry 007: Restaurants
There are plenty of places to sit down for a good meal around the Peachtree Center area. I have compiled a short list of popular restaurants in the area. This is not all inclusive and, for some, you may have to venture a bit of a ways.
Note: If you have experiences with any of these restaurants (or have a favorite spot that isn’t listed) and wish to share, please leave a comment.
Helpful Tip: For iPhone and iTouch users download the Urban Spoon or Eat A Rama Applications. The Wifi will get your location and help you find restaurants around you.

Last year we tried Pittypat’s Porch. I wouldn’t recommend it for the food, though the upstairs was kinda neat in that cluttered memorabilia way. The full review can be found on my website:

‘Gladys Knight & Ron Winans Chicken & Waffles’ has to be the best name for a restaurant ever.
