Crystal Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 Okay, I'm gonna be in Atlanta, Georgia for ~8 hours next Monday (Dec. 11th) for a particularly long flight layover and I would LOVE to meet any local vegans, and grab some food. Any takers??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 I'll see what I can do about finding cool people in that area. I think I know a few, but I'll have to double check. Have fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xChrisZx Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 There is an awesome place to eat called Soul Vegetarian. It is only maybe 30-45 minutes (if that) away from the airport.They have one up here in Chicago and 2 down in Atlanta. More than worth your time. http://www.kingdomofyah.com/Soul%20Vegetarian%20Worldwide.html Soul Vegetarian Restaurant879-A Ralph Abernathy Blvd. SW - Atlanta, GA 30310(404) 752-5194 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crystal Posted December 5, 2006 Author Share Posted December 5, 2006 Awesome, thanks guys! xChrisZx - that restaurant looks tasty, any recomendations on what I should get? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xChrisZx Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 Well if they have Gyros those are really good.If they have protein tidbits you HAVE to get those. Anything BBQ is always amazing. I can't remember what I got from the Atlanta one but it was awesome. The one up here in Chicago actually catered my all vegan wedding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michelle Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 I wasn't veg when I lived in Atlanta, so I don't have restaurant recommendations. I can tell you about transportation, though. I remember a lot of traffic jams, particularly certain areas at certain times of day. Public transportation in Atlanta is fairly good, though, and the trains come right to the airport. http://www.itsmarta.com/ Hope this helps some.

Odidnetne Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 I was at the Atlanta airport for a couple layovers in August, and if you don't have some nuts or something for yourself, the only thing you can get is coffee and water, or some overpriced salad. I couldn't even get a fruit smoothie at that airport. When I tried to get a fruit smoothie, the conversation went like this: (Me): "Hi, can you possibly make me a fruit smoothie with just the orange juice and some of the fruits?" (Guy): "Well, we put this mix in too." (Me): "Can I see the ingredients?" (reads it: It contains skim milk, whey and casein among other fruit flavors and other things) "Can you just not put this in and just give me Orange Juice and some berries? I can't have milk or any kind of dairy product." (Guy): "But it has all kinds of fruit in it too." (Me): "Yes, but that doesn't compensate for the dairy, I can't have it." If I would have continued the conversation I would have walked out of that airport in cuffs for breaking his jaw, due to frustration from other places having NOTHING to eat, but that's besides the point.
