Here's what you need to do to have the best time. Stay in midtown between 14th street and 8th street close to Piedmont Park. Spend your free time wondering midtown and exploring the eastside beltline trail. Marta to the game from either the 10th street station or the North Ave. station...
Yeah, you can eat at an Applebees. LISTEN, it is not dangerous in midtown or downtown at all. MARTA is not dangerous. You are more likely to get hurt by a stray hunter's bullet in Kentucky than you are walking the streets of Atlanta.
Depends what you like. The Beltline from Piedmont Park with a stop and Ponce City Market and Krog Street Market is a good time. Just walking the streets in midtown you'll find pretty much anything you want. West Midtown is booming. There are plenty of James Beard chefs if you are a foodie...
I've lived in Atlanta for 15 years. It's not at all dangerous. I guess if you visit the worst area of town at 3 a.m. and scream obscenities at people...... 99.9 percent of the crime in criminal on criminal and they know each other.
