I still plan on showing up, ill probably stay downtown somewhere. It was easy to get in and out last year, which was a plus.

I was actually thinking of hosting it in Savannah next year. Try something a little different. How many more years do you have there for school?

one more year!

One in Savannah would be awesome!

I just got a PM from someone who seemed to be confused about the schedule. Everyone does realize that the 26th is the last Saturday of June correct? I am hoping that everyone is aware of this and doesn't think that the 26th is a Friday. Please post concerns and anger about calendars here:

Looking for something to do Saturday before the fin at lil' five? Well here you go.

June 26th

Starting at 2 PM

Grilling out in Grant Park
Map / MARTA Info

From my research I see that there are many places to hang out and grill in this lovely park. So why don't we all get together and do that? How much food is brought depends on how many people RSVP for this event. Ill grab some sodas, hot dogs and some other stuff for the grill, but everyone is free and encouraged to bring stuff. Let me know if you are coming! We can work out who can bring what closer to the date.

No alcohol or glass containers allowed in ANY Atlanta park. Just a heads up.

Then let's put me down for the 26th, that sounds fun!

I updated the schedule to include some info on June 25th. Post some ideas if anyone wants to get together that evening.

I'm pretty stoked about the idea of some NG'ers coming to hang out in Little Five Points. Would love to meet and drink with you all, as that's practically my neighborhood!

The Porter is a great place, right in the heart of Little Five, great beers and unique food - it's what they're calling a "gastropub" these days.

Two steps away from that is The Yacht Club, a smoky dive bar that gets really crowded, but still a great place to go - it's a local favorite.

The BrewHouse is across the street, more of the trendy place to go I guess, but they've got a drink called the PainKiller which is pretty strong. Not sure what kind of drinkers this crew is.

I've got to check my schedule, so I'm tentative, but damn, if I'm free and can't make it to this meet-up, I'm worthless. But I'm going to make a serious effort. :)

that would be great if you can make it! It would be nice to have someone else who knows the area. Makes coming up with ideas easier lol.

OMG IT IS THIS WEEKEND!

not all caps

relevant bump

haha aww, If my car wasn't dead I coulda swung by, i'm only 2 hours away.

If you see any homeless people downtown, can you ask them about Preacher Man?

Oh boy.

I actually live in Little Five Points. It is a nice hipster/college/punk rocker/rich hippy area surrounded by beautiful Victorian neighborhoods and is one of the safest places in ATL despite what many out-of-towner xenophobes think. I will be out drinking, etc. on Saturday, so I might meet up with you guys even though I'm not a big poster around here (how are you guys meeting up?). If you're hitting up bars, I recommend:

Manuel's Tavern. Corner of North Highland and North Ave. Excellent food, decent beer selection, always plenty of seating. I usually go there at least twice a week.

The Porter. Euclid in the strip. Hundreds of beers, lots of quality imports and domestic microbrews, horrible food (except the fries), seating can be scarce on weekend evenings but the amazing beer selection is worth scoping this place out.

The Yacht Club. Euclid in the strip, close to the corner of Euclid and Colquitt. Small beer selection with a few good brews, decent food, service slow as molasses (no problem if you're like me), excellent atmosphere if you can find seating.

Righteous Room. Ponce de Leon Ave, close to the corner of Ponce and North Highland (walking distance from Little Five). Decent beer selection, pretty good food, cool atmosphere if you can find seating.

There are lots of other great places in L5P but, as a beer snob, if I had to recommend a single bar, it would definitely be The Porter.

In my opinion, there isn't much worth seeing in downtown ATL; it's mostly touristy. Most people either hang out in Buckhead (clubs and joints for rich people) or in Virginia Highlands (on the other side of Ponce from Little Five Points down North Highland Ave, about half a mile down the road with even more bars and restaurants), or in L5P.

So... this is for anyone, right? Even noobs like myself? =P
I live REALLY damn close to Atlanta and thought it would be cool to go to something like this. I need a break from work and nothing.

I agree with cseidl1 completely. While Atlanta IS a nice city, the downtown stuff is a little touristy after a while, and you find yourself not hanging out there very often. However, if you're coming in from out of town, maybe you'll enjoy it just fine! However, if you're an out of towner looking more to hang out with the NG crew and also save a little cash, I think grilling out in Grant Park is a good idea for one of those weekend days and doing the Little Five Points thing Saturday night is a great option. I also thought cseidl1's suggestion about the Righteous Room was good, although that place gets crowded quickly, as it's a narrow little hangout.

I found out my good friend's birthday is on this same weekend, so I'm a little bummed...but if you guys are going to be in Little Five for sure, I will rock the NG Tank shirt, swing by later and see who else I can find down there!

Yeah, Grant park is happening and so is the L5 bar hopping adventure. So hopefully we will see you there. I picked Centennial for Sunday just because it is big, easy and has things to do around it.

its not really a meetup day today but ill be in town today with a few people. I think we'll be doing touristy shit but if you happen to be in town and or are bored and want to catch up with us, drop me uno pm and ill give you my cell or something.
