j-raj has a killer band that is a magnet for hot women.

I'm sure a tour of the JT Museum will be awaiting you.

I recommend you eat at the Marietta Diner.

I'm not sure 30 or so people can constitute a "swarm".

"As of the 2008 United States Census, the city of Atlanta had a population of 533,014, and increase of 28% from the 2000 census.[108] As of the 2007 US census, the Atlanta metropolitan area had an estimated population of 5,376,285.[109] The racial makeup of the city was 56.8% black, 37.7% white, 2% Asian, 0.2% American Indian, 2.3% from other races, and 1.1% from two or more races; 4.7% of the population were Hispanic or Latino of any race"

Asians yes, but the actual Japanese population is much smaller than that. Probably closer to 500 or so.

Sweetwater 420 is a local beer, I've heard it was good. Not like I would know, I'm a minor.

Bell's Barbeque Street in Kennesaw.
Any of the Taqueria Del Sol locations.

I'm doubting that someone from SoCal is going to be impressed with a taqueria in Georgia but what do I know.

Well, what you don't realize is that one-third of Mexico is now in the U.S., and you won't BELIEVE the Mexican population in Atlanta.

I didn't say that Georgia had no Mescans and I do realize that which you believe I do not realize.

For the record, I lived in SoCal before moving to Atlanta and I have not been impressed.

Don't waste your time going to The Varsity.

Do get yourself some biscuits and gravy. Try the Silver Skillet on 14th Street.

No, definitely go to the Varsity, get at least a hot dog and a double cheese burger, a slaw dog if that's your deal. Where in Atlanta are you gonna be? Avoid 85/75/285 between 3 and 8 unless you want to sit.
