Heck, I might as well just start a new thread since I can’t seem to get the other one to pull up. Here are the particulars on the time/place/etc. If you plan on showing up (and everyone is welcome) please either check in here or drop me an email. I am pretty bad with directions, so if the following make very little sense, try calling the phone number of the restaurant (listed below) for directions.
Friday, June 30 at noon. Le Peep restaurant. I chose this because it is pretty central in downtown, affordable, and we should be able to get a seat without the horrendous wait of other places. To see a basic map of the location, click here. If you want it, the phone number is 404-688-3782. The restaurant is located within the Marquis area. To find it, figure out where you are coming from and read the appropriate area below.
Via Peachtree St: The restaurant is located in a below street level shopping area in the general midst of the Marriott Marquis. It is located on the same side of Peachtree as the Hard Rock Café. If you pass the Hard Rock Café and it is on your right hand side, walk another block and a half. If you pass the Hard Rock and it is on your left hand side, turn around and go back a block and a half.
To get to Le Peep – On the opposite side of Peachtree is a Siesta Grill, the Atlanta Merchandise Mart, and a Starbucks. You will be looking for a down escalator on the other side of Peachtree. It will be just off of the sidewalk. It is hard to miss and has a silver oval thing above it that says “Restaurants Shops” repeatedly. Go down the escalator. After going through revolving doors you will come out in a food court. Walk straight through the food court. You should go up 3 steps. Keep walking until you run smack dab into a set of stores – Naturalizer, Charley and Barneys, B Dalton. Turn left. Walk about 120 feet and the Le Peep will appear on your right hand side.
Via Marta – This is slightly more confusing for a couple of reasons. I don’t ride Marta often enough to be amazingly familiar with it and the particular stop you want has about 3 separate exits onto Peachtree St. One of these exits is perfect, the other two will put you about 2 blocks away.
Get off of Marta at the Peachtree Center Station. Try to find an escalator that points you to either “Peachtree Center” or the Hyatt Regency Atlanta. You will go up a pretty immense escalator. At the top of the escalator you should see a food court on the left. Go into the food court. (If you don’t see a food court, you are probably at the wrong Marta exit. Just get to Peachtree St and follow the directions above.)
Walk straight through the food court (this is a slightly different food court from the one above.) Once you clear the food court, Le Peep will be on your left hand side.
Sounds easy? Hardly, but I have walked this a couple of times to make sure I have the turns and landmarks correct. I will be wearing a dark green, short sleeved shirt. When I am standing, you will have no doubt who I am. Good luck finding it.
