Welcome. You are in the home of UGA football. There is the season-opening game on Saturday against Clemson, but it is not in Athens. It's at the Mercedes Benz Stadium in Atlanta, in case you are interested in going! Stay tuned for watch party plans with the couple if you are in town!
Looking for something fun in Athens? Here are just a few of the things we love to do. (1) Stroll the Saturday Farmers Market in Bishop Park (2) Peruse the shelves at Avid Bookshop or a local record store (3) Spend hours at local thrift shops, including Project Safe (combatting domestic violence) and Habitat for Humanity (4) Walk around Botanical Gardens exhibits and nature trails (5) Grab a bubble tea at Bubble Cafe (6) Grab a drink at a local brewery with friends (7) Get fresh bread in the morning from Independent Bakery
These are just a few of our favorite Athens restaurants. All are vegetarian friendly, of course! Most of these are local, family-owned businesses that we love to support. $ Bubble Cafe Mother Pho Cali-N-Titos Tlaloc $$ Clocked Trappeze Pub Ted's Most Best Royal Peasant The Globe Hi-Lo Bar Food Lounge $$$ Mama's Boy ZZ & Simone's Breweries Creature Comforts Athentic Brewing Terrapin Brewery Figment Kombucha
