The Brick Store Pub is a favorite of mine, full of friendly folks that will help you get your bearings.

Closer to home, Mo's on Briarcliff just above Clairmont is our favorite Pizza place - and their gyro's are good as well.

Good luck, and welcome to Atlanta!
Thanks for the welcome! I will definitely check those places out once I'm in town! I'm a "yuge" fan of pizza, so I'm pretty sure I'll turn into a regular at Mo's! Haha

As a whole - for me personally, it's been that it has a pretty decent cultural food scene ( it can't touch major international cities, lets be real - but its pretty good to me. )

Access to mountains or the beach - or, to a big airport to access the rest of the world.

A burgeoning tech field - and to my benefit, cyber security and fintech.

Well, today makes a week since I've been here! So far, I'm honestly loving Atlanta. The cost of living here is downright the best attribute this city has! I'm still shocked at how much I get for what I pay a month. This would easily run me almost $3000 in DC. Roads here are a lot smoother. Weather is a lot bearable(IMO). There are a lot of genuinely friendly folks here. I traded my SmartTrip card for a Breeze card as well. My first trip was a lot less painful than I expected. Traffic, of course, would be the only downside to being here, and even that seems to be a lot better than traffic in DC. Friday's rush hour here does seem to begin Thursday afternoon haha. Overall, (so far) I can definitely seem myself being here long term! Thanks again for the warm welcomes!

I love the fact that you can get to just about anywhere you need to go in 15-20 minutes.

We also have great food, and great weather for 10 months out of the year.
