I'm from Charlotte, NC, and from April 25th through April 30th, there will be a DECA international competition taking place in Atlanta. The group of students going will be staying in the Atlanta Hilton; what are some fun restaurants around that area??

If I were a teenager again and visiting a new city, I would recommend the following (disclaimer - these recommendations are for atmosphere rather than the food in my opinion)

Hard Rock Cafe: Hard Rock Cafe ATLANTA - HOME

The Varsity: An Atlanta icon for fast food eats: The Varsity :: What'll Ya Have???

Cheesecake Factory (Buckhead): The Cheesecake Factory :: Locations :.

ESPN Zone (located next to Cheesecake Factory in Buckhead): ESPN Zone, a Taste of ESPN - Atlanta Zone (http://espnzone.com/atlanta/ - broken link)

Good luck and have fun!

I always found that kids love the Teppanyaki (sp?) restaurants like Benihana, whare they get a show along with dinner. I know that there is a Benihana on Peachtree in lower Buckhead.

There's a Benihana at Peachtree Center, which is only a couple blocks from the downtown Hilton.

Let's not forget Hooters right across the street from the Hard Rock Cafe!

Although I don't particularly care for it (The long waits at least) The "Real" Chow Baby seems to be fun (I guess). You basically stand in line and create your own stirfry. My sisters seem to like it a lot and keep going back. I'm not a good cook so its not my cup of tea, but it is a unique dining experience. You will have to drive about 5 maybe 10 mins to get there from Downtown, and on a weeknight may not be so crowded.

The Varsity for sure!! Get an orange freeze (frost orange) as well. Houstons restaurant on Peachtree is really good too, or the other location next to Lenox Mall if your in that vicinity. Osterias in the Virginia Highlands is very good and has a nice deck outside, and good wine list!

DECA is a marketing group?
Not that it matters.

If these students can afford the carbs a visit to the Krispy Kreme on Ponce de Leon is in order.

If you guys are in the mood for Mexican, Mama Ninfa's @ Peachtree Center is fun......and you can walk there from the Hilton. You might want to jump on the train and get off at the Midtown Station. Check out The Vortex, the best burgers in town, a funky and diverse crowd and great atmosphere. Gordon Biersch is also great, at Peachtree & 6th.
