the East.” This glitzy uptown district
houses shopping meccas like Phipps
Plaza and the Lenox Square Mall as
well as designer boutiques.
Hungry? Just ask the locals for a
dining recommendation during your
stay. Dining is one of Atlanta’s favorite
pastimes, with residents spending
half of their annual food budget on
eating out, according to Frommer’s
Guide. With more than 700 Zagat-
rated restaurants offering everything
from upscale gourmet cuisine to New
South fare to farm-to-table dining, it’s
no wonder Atlantans are letting the
professionals do the cooking.

There’s something for everyone in
Atlanta! So while you’re in the city for
MODEX, take some time to explore the
city’s many cultural, dining, and entertainment options, and enjoy your stay.
ONLY IN ATLANTA,
CAN YOU…
… try a “Coke and a smile.” Born and
raised in Atlanta, Coca-Cola is synonymous with the city. Visit the World of Coca-Cola museum to learn the story of the
famous soft drink, now celebrating its
128th year. Go back to the early years of
Coke’s creation in Atlanta and follow the
global brand through the decades. After
you’ve refreshed yourself by sampling
more than 60 products from around the
world, step out of the museum’s front
door and into the hub of the convention
district.
… visit “The Dump” where Scarlett
O’Hara’s Tara came to life. Atlanta is home
to the Margaret Mitchell House, which features the furnished apartment (
nicknamed “The Dump” by Mitchell) where she
wrote Gone with the Wind. The novel is one
of the best-selling books in the world, second only to the Bible.
