"An army marches on it's stomach" said a short figure in French history. Geeks and Dragon*Con attendees are no different.
Peachtree Center is an office complex connected by habitrail to the Hyatt and Marriott. The Mall at Peachtree Center is located on the lower levels of the complex. Here you will find the food court, a hand full of stores, and a Bank of America branch (closed on Monday since it is Labor Day). For attendees making uses of the MARTA system, this is the stop for Dragon*Con, N1 on the North and South bound trains.
A full listing of offerings (food and otherwise) can be found here.
Two types of dining options are offered at the mall. The food court is the most popular.
The selection of restaurants change slightly each year, but some remain the same. A large variety of tastes are represented. Available food includes Chinese, Cajun, Japanese, American fast food, and even vegetarian. Franchises for Subway, Chik-Fil-A, and others can be found here.

NOTE: The selection may change as franchises come and go.
