Best Place to Take Your ParentsCollege Prowler Take
If you’re willing to invest the time and money necessary, eating around Atlanta is truly a joy. The Village, just a 15-minute walk from any dorm on campus, has a couple of good places, including Everybody’s, a tasty Italian restaurant, and Doc Chey’s, a quality chain Chinese eatery. Out around Atlanta, there are tons of great places to eat, ranging from inexpensive to gourmet. There are some of the best steakhouses in the country here, tons of great sushi places, and great ethnic eateries as well. A group called Buckhead Life owns and operates several of Atlanta’s best restaurants, all situated in and around Buckhead, an area with many good but expensive restaurants about ten minutes from Emory by car. As a freshman, these places can be hard to get to since nearly every freshman is without a car. For less money, there are many great restaurants scattered around town in places like the Virginia Highlands (Dish, Osteria, Murphy’s), Little Five Points (Vortex and Savage Pizza), and Ponce de Leon Avenue. Closer to Emory, there are the usual fast-food chains, a Steak 'n Shake, the popular frozen yogurt chain Yoforia, and a pretty good Mexican restaurant called Los Loros. Getting off campus to enjoy all of the great eateries that Atlanta has to offer will not disappoint. Atlanta has established itself as one of the best cities in the country to get a bite to eat.

The restaurants in Emory Village...
The restaurants in Emory Village are decent and a good option for those who are sick of dining hall food. Panera, Starbucks, a Chinese Restaurant, and pizza are all decent and within walking distance. Ordering food is also a popular option for students. Atlanta has tons of great restaurants further from campus, but unfortunately they're only really accessible to those with cars.

The easiest place for freshman to get to is Emory Village, which has several places to eat. Most are relatively cheap. There are plenty of places within driving distance too, since Emory is pretty well situated within Atlanta. The most popular thing to do is probably ordering food to be delivered. There are plenty of cheap options. Check out Doc Chey's in the Village, where a meal is about $7-9.

The food in Emory Village isn't at all representative of the great restaurants Atlanta has to offer, but do offer diverse and well-priced options that range from soups to Chinese to pizza to Italian to Greek. Panera is a campus favorite, as well as Doc Chey's and Saba.

Just across the street from the entrance of campus is an area called Emory Village that has a number of restaurants including Everybody's Pizza, Saba (a pasta place), and Doc Chey's Noodle House. All three are really good and reasonably priced. With the availability of cabs and public transit, it's also easy to get off campus and go into Atlanta for dinner, where the possibilities are essentially endless.

There are more restaurants within a ten-minute drive than you could possible ever eat at. Most places are pretty good around town, and some are outstanding. |
