WELCOME
ummer, and the subsequent turn to fall, is one of the best times of year to pay a visit to the University of Georgia and The Classic City of Athens. Opportunities to find adventure abound in almost every possible area of interest, whether you are a die-hard Bulldog fan, a lover of live music on a pilgrimage to find the origins of the local music scene, or simply a casual traveler seeking a new experience. This edition of the University of Georgia Visitors Guide offers the reader an opportunity to customize their visit to Athens based on four popular “experiences”: The Sports Fanatic, The History Buff, The Music Lover, and The Foodie. Points of interest are easily identified by their relationship to one of these four areas. Take a moment to peruse the pages that follow and learn a little bit about this wonderful town in Northeast Georgia. You may know a few things found inside, but you’ll likely find more about which you never knew. Enjoy!

o matter your taste - whether you’re an avid mountain biker who can’t get enough activity, a gastronome who enjoys being a locavore, a patron of museums and beautiful, historic buildings and places, or a live music fan seeking to broaden their soundscape; The University of Georgia and Downtown Athens offer a wide variety of options to discover campus and the Classic City. Therefore, we present four distinctly different “paths” to follow through Athens and UGA that identify some of the key activities, landmarks, entertainment venues, and dining establishments found in our culturally rich and diverse part of North Georgia. Look for the 4 icons shown above next to listings found throughout this guide that will assist you in identifying the many, wonderful attractions found in and around the Athens, Georgia area.

CHOOSE YOUR EXPERIENCE
THE SPORTS FANATIC
STAY
Rest your paws at the UGA Georgia Center (E4). Only a short stroll to the Myers Quad and less than a 1⁄2 mile from Sanford Stadium, be in the thick of the tailgating, cheering, and the Dawg Walk. Catch a Georgia Dogs basketball game or watch the Gym Dawgs at Stegeman Coliseum (F4), which is a short 3-minute walk from your Dawg house away from home.
EAT
Eat like a Dawg at Dawg Gone Good BBQ located on W. Hancock Ave., Downtown Athens. All the cheers and excitement are bound to make you hungry. Chow down on amazing ribs, pork & chicken along with delicious sides. Chef BJ is your man for all the BBQ goodness.
EXPLORE
Follow the SPORTS icon throughout this guide for the best locations to sight see, visit, and learn about UGA Sports. Rediscover your love of the game by visiting these UGA points of pride.
YOU ARE A BULLDOGS FAN TO THE BONE, BUT HAVE YOU EXPERIENCED ATHENS AS A SUPERFAN?
THE HISTORY BUFF
STAY
Though there are no historical hotels directly downtown or on campus, there are a plethora of hotels on your way to the Clarke county historical markers. Check out our Directory in the back of this publication to assist you in your perfect stay. If you fancy a bed & breakfast, we suggest searching nearby Watkinsville, GA where there is the renowned Ashford Manor near Hwy 15 (less than 10 miles from Downtown).
EAT
While making your rounds around the county, plan to stop for lunch at the State Botanical Gardens. Their gardens provide the best backdrop for lunch. Pack a picnic or snag a table at their on-site café, Donderos’ Café, open Tuesday through Sunday for brunch/lunch.
EXPLORE
AFICIONADOS WILL ENJOY OUR MARKERS, CANNON, AND GENERAL SPLENDOR.
Athens possesses 21 historic districts and 31 other sites listed on the National Register of Historic Places. While you are exploring the grounds of UGA Campus, you will find at least 10 historical markers. For tours and more, visit the UGA Visitor’s Center or the Athens Visitor’s Center.

THE FOODIE
STAY
If you are coming to Athens as a foodie, you can really stay just about anywhere and stumble upon some great eateries. Venture out beyond downtown and get a great room so you can visit restaurants all over the UGA area.
EAT
If you’re in the mood for casual fare, there is really no wrong answer! Athens boasts of BBQ pits, burgers diners, southwestern grills, and a highly recommended vegetarian restaurant, The Grit. If you are seeking more fine dining, we highly recommend La Dolce Vita, The Branded Butcher, and Étienne Brasserie which are all close to campus and downtown. Check out our Directory for a list of restaurants in the UGA/Athens area.
EXPLORE
FOLLOW YOUR TASTE BUDS AROUND THE CLASSIC CITY AND ENJOY A WIDE ASSORTMENT OF DINING EXPERIENCES.
THE MUSIC LOVER
Athens culture boasts of its resources for the freshest ingredients. We suggest visiting the local farmers markets, gardens, and co-ops to see the food from its source. UGArden, studentrun farm located just south of the main University of Georgia campus is a must stop for anyone interested in innovative, sustainable farming. Get behind the scenes of the food, and enjoy!
STAY
Odds are you will be sleeping in and staying out late to catch niche shows, up-in-comers, and hop venues. Be sure to stay somewhere near the fun. Hotel Indigo is a fine, nearby choice that keeps you close to the action.
EAT
Where to begin? The World Famous offers takes on catfish & grits and chicken & waffles. Another great Music Lover stop is Clocked, a retro-style burger diner with area- sourced fare that’s nestled near some of the best venues in Athens! For soul food and some R.E.M. references, visit Weaver D’s on Broad Street.
EXPLORE
Where do you begin? Georgia Theatre, The 40 Watt Club, Caledonia Lounge... the list goes on and on! For kicks, we suggest walking around the blocks and following your ears. No matter your genre, there is a venue for you. See our Downtown & Nightlife section for more venue details.

FOR ANY VISITOR THESE ARE THE SPOTS FIRST ON THE LIST, THE GO-TOS. THESE ARE THE ESSENTIALS.
Every university campus has them – revered and remarkable points of pride. A campus the size of the University of Georgia (a sturdy 389 buildings on 759 sprawling acres) boasts a bevy of such spots, but among those are a few that stand out.
1
The Arch
Located at the front of North Campus, across from the bustle 'of downtown Athens on the corner of Broad Street and College Avenue, the wrought-iron Arch was commissioned in 1858 and patterned after the one located on Georgia’s Great Seal. If you walk under The Arch as a freshman, legend has it you’ll never graduate.
2
Sanford Stadium
3
North Campus
Surrounded by hedges, it hosts Georgia victories, Olympic gold medal games and the remains of eight mascots. Sitting in the heart of campus, Sanford Stadium (D3) has welcomed a steady stream of visitors since its opening on Oct. 12, 1929. Through the years Sanford has added lights and seats, tripling in capacity and becoming a beacon for 92,746 spectators on Fall Saturdays.
Walk through The Arch and the green space opens up, dotted by oak and elm trees, surrounded by buildings marking UGA’s beginnings. The historic North Campus Quad (A3-B3) is home to the oldest structures at UGA. Look for Demosthenian Hall (1824), and Phi Kappa Hall (1836). Built in 1832, the Chapel was once the main center of campus activities. A Bell Tower originally crowned the roof, but in 1913 was found to be rotten and was removed to its current location. Now the bell is rung only to mark athletic victories or other special occasions.

Miller Learning Center
Through its eight floors of shelf after shelf of books, magazines, microfilms and documents, the Main Library (B3) is a targeted place of study on the edge of North Campus. The Main Library collects material in arts and humanities, social sciences and business, but also contains a large government documents collection, media department, and a microform collection.
Located across from Sanford Stadium, the Tate Student Center (C3) provides facilities, services, and programs for the university community. It is open seven days a week when classes are in session. It contains student organization and staff offices, an information desk, movie theater, National Student Exchange office, food service areas, a print and copy service, business office, UGACard office, study lounge, TV lounges, and meeting, conference, and multipurpose rooms. It also houses office space for student organizations and WUOG, the university’s radio station.
Outside Tate is the University of Georgia Bookstore (C3) and contains Georgia souvenirs, books, UGA apparel and supplies. Students can find textbooks here and fans can also pick up a copy of Dear Old U-G-A - an historic look at student and university life through the eyes of The Red & Black.
Just beyond the bookstore is the Miller Learning Center (C3), a 200,000-square foot electronic library and classroom facility. Built in 2003, the MLC combines an electronic library with research and study space. Study rooms are available for group project work, and a non-circulating collection of books are available for use in the MLC’s Reading Room. A digital media lab is available to edit digital audio and video for multimedia projects and librarians and a computer consultants staff service desks to help with all aspects of research needs.

RICHARD B. RUSSELL SPECIAL COLLECTIONS LIBRARY For years the main library housed several special collections, but in 2011 these collections moved to the Richard B. Russell Special Collections Library, located off Baxter Street near the Miller Learning Center. The 115,000 square foot building holds The Hargrett Rare Book and Manuscript Library, which consists of 120,000 rare books on a variety of subjects as well as six million items of family papers, diaries and letters, the Georgiana Collection (documents on the ongoing history of Georgia), the University of Georgia Archives, the Richard B. Russell Library for Political Research and Studies and the Walter J. Brown & Peabody Awards Collections.

The Hargrett Library focuses on Georgia history and culture, holding rare books and Georgiana, historical manuscripts, photographs, maps, broadsides, and UGA archives and records. Other areas of emphasis include performing arts and natural history. Holdings date from the 15th century to the present. Visit us at the Russell Special Collections Building. The breadth and depth of the Richard B. Russell Library for Political Research’s collections provide an interconnected framework of perspectives and experiences for understanding the increasingly diverse people, events, and ideas shaping Georgia’s political landscape. The Walter J. Brown Media Archive & Peabody Awards Collection was started in 1995 and currently preserves over 250,000 titles in film, video, audiotape, transcription disks, and other recording formats dating from the 1920s to the present. It is the only public archive in Georgia devoted solely to the preservation of audiovisual materials.

ARTS & LEISURE HISTORY BUFF
MUSIC LOVER
Mixed with the Gothic tinge of southern milieu as well as a profound dedication to the classics, the arts and science culture at the university is deep and storied. Scholars such as Lamar Dodd and Hugh Hodgson made UGA a focal point of arts and music across the world, and their legacies are embodied in the programs created in their names.
GEORGIA MUSEUM OF ART
Where Asian art rooms with southern decor and images of the Renaissance meet Reopened in early 2011 following a massive expansion, the Georgia Museum of Art (F2) serves as both an academic museum and the official art museum of Georgia, a role it’s held since it was first opened in 1948, when it was in the basement of an old library on the north campus. GMOA occupies a contemporary building on the university’s east campus. There, 79,000 square feet house more than 8,000 objects in the museum’s permanent collection – which consists of American paintings, primarily 19th and 20th century; American, European, and Asian works on paper; the Samuel H. Kress Study Collection of Italian Renaissance paintings; and growing collections of southern decorative arts and Asian art. Initially the museum’s founder, Alfred Heber Holbrook, donated a collection of 100 American paintings which included works by luminaries such as William Merritt Chase, Stuart Davis, Georgia O’Keeffe, Winslow Homer and Theodore Robinson. Holbrook, who began a personal quest to learn about the world of art after his retirement at the age of 70, took a trip to Athens in the 1940s and met Lamar Dodd, head of the university’s art department. The two began a friendship, sharing a joint vision of enriching the visual arts environment in Georgia. Holbrook, clad in a knee-length pink artist’s smock with pipe in hand, attended art classes and GMOA was founded in 1945. Continued on page 16. 14 | UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA VISITOR’S GUIDE

ARTS & LEISURE
GEORGIA MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY A study in research, from anthropology to zooarchaeology.
For many decades, UGA maintained a number of natural history collections under the aegis of various academic departments. In 1978, the university recognized these collections as the Museum of Natural History (E2), and in 1999, the Georgia General Assembly recognized it as the official state museum of natural history. The museum is the repository for the preservation and study of the tangible evidence of history, culture and natural heritage of the state of Georgia and its people.
LAMAR DODD SCHOOL OF ART GALLERIES Promoting contemporary art as a catalyst for education
The Lamar Dodd School of Art (G2) produces rotating exhibitions in its Visual Arts Building that challenge contemporary perceptions of the making of art, and provide a framework for intellectual and creative inquiry. Established and emerging artists, designers, critics and curators of national and international stature are invited to showcase their work, setting them in direct dialogue with university and local audiences. The state of the art facilities is the first building since 1963 designed specifically for the technical needs of diverse studio art programs.
PERFORMING ARTS CENTER
Two stages are set for the world’s best to perform
Adjacent to the Georgia Museum of Art, the Performing Arts Center (F2) houses two impressive concert halls – Hugh Hodgson Concert Hall and Ramsey Concert Hall – which host some of the finest national and international performers. The Hugh Hodgson Concert Hall is the larger of the two, seating 1,100 in festival-style seating (seats surround the stage). Its superb acoustics complement solo artists as well as chamber ensembles and full symphony orchestras. 16 | UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA VISITOR’S GUIDE

THROUGHOUT CAMPUS ARE FACILITIES, LADEN WITH TROPHIES, GIVING ALL A GLIMPSE TO THE GAMES STUDENTS PLAY. The University of Georgia boasts excellence in academics and richness in history, but an added aspect to the University’s allure can be summed up in four simple words: How ’Bout Them Dogs. The vintage slogan, which became a catch phrase for Bulldog fans worldwide, is still bandied about today and is a symbol of the University’s love for its sports. So get ready for some action, whether you chip, shoot, serve, sprint or swim.
BUTTS-MEHRE HERITAGE HALL
EVER SEEN A NCAA CHAMPIONSHIP TROPHY? WANT TO?
Located off Lumpkin Street on the south side of campus, ButtsMehre Heritage Hall (F5) is an 85,000 square foot complex that is all things Georgia football. Serving as the headquarters for both players and coaches – which includes four full-length practice fields, offices, locker rooms, weight room, sports medicine facility, racquet ball court and meeting rooms for each position – the building’s main attraction is the Heritage Museum. Occupying the third and fourth floors, the museum is where Bulldog fans can relive past Georgia gridiron glories. In the rotunda under the domed roof, exhibits include retired jerseys, memorabilia from Heisman Trophy winners, and the shining jewel – the 1980 NCAA National Championship Trophy. Recently upgraded touch-screen displays contain video highlights of Georgia’s football history, and UGA lovers can view an exhibit on the acclaimed mascot. It also houses the Larry Munson Trophy Room, featuring awards and trophies Georgia football has gathered through the years. A $40 million expansion of Butts-Mehre was completed in 2010, and includes new strength and conditioning rooms and renovation to the first and second floors. A garden and sculpture commemorating former football coach and athletic director Vince Dooley is adjacent to Butts-Mehre. The statue shows Dooley being carried on the shoulders of players from his 1980 national championship team. 18 | UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA VISITOR’S GUIDE

UNIVERSITY GOLF COURSE
the Georgia Coliseum, it was renamed in 1996 to the memory of Herman James Stegeman, former UGA athletics director.
As beautiful to view as it is challenging to play, the 7,300-yard, par 71 Robert Trent Jones course features hilly terrains, strategically placed bunkers and large, undulating greens. Golf Digest has rated it as one of the top 50 public courses in the nation, and has been host to a professional tournament, now called the Web.com Stadion Classic, since 2009.
The Coliseum is two structures – the roof and the building beneath it – with the only connection between the two an aluminum bellows which seals the joints and permits the rise and fall of the roof with temperature change.
A PUBLIC COURSE WITH A PRO PEDIGREE.
The course is characterized by lush bermuda fairways best known for their length. Water guards four of the holes while bunkers border quick, bent grass greens. In past years, it has undergone large-scale renovations, making the greens larger and more undulating. Mounds and pot bunkers also changed the look of the greens and enhanced the challenge of getting to the pins. In addition to the championship course, the facilities include a three-tiered driving range, a large bermuda chipping green.
STEGEMAN COLISEUM
A HISTORY OF HOOPS, AND GYMNASTIC MASTERY.
The site of countless Georgia men’s and women’s basketball games, Stegeman Coliseum (at right, F4) has also hosted rhythmic gymnastics and preliminary volleyball matches during the 1996 Summer Olympics, as well as the NCAA gymnastics championships in 1989, 1995 and 2008. Built in 1964 and called
Stegeman (capacity 10,523) has undergone several renovations, including expansion of the seating area, new scoreboards and a state-of-the art basketball floor. Visitors can take a gander at the 10 NCAA trophies the Gym Dogs have accumulated throughout the years.
DAN MAGILL TENNIS COMPLEX AND COLLEGIATE TENNIS HALL OF FAME SERVING COLLEGIATE PLAYERS FROM 1883 TO THE PRESENT.
Long standing as a beacon of excellence in collegiate tennis, the Magill Tennis Complex (G4) enjoys 16 courts (12 outdoor and four indoor), seating capacity of more than 5,000, and is the site of the Collegiate Tennis Hall of Fame. Named after a longtime UGA tennis coach and supporter of university athletics, the complex has hosted the men’s NCAA Championships 22 times, most recently in 2012, and all four of Georgia’s national championships were won on their home courts at the Magill complex.

RAMSEY STUDENT CENTER
A PLACE TO SWIM, SPIKE, LIFT, RUN, CLIMB . . .
Considered one of the country’s finest all-purpose indoor sports facilities, the Ramsey Center (H2) provides practice and competition sites for Georgia’s swimming and diving and volleyball teams. Named the best recreational facility in the country by Sports Illustrated in 1997, the center is a constant reminder of UGA’s commitment to athletic excellence. The facility encompasses 440,000 square feet — the equivalent of five and a half acres — and the variety offered is as vast as
the area covered. Four gymnasia, three swimming pools, seven multipurpose rooms, a climbing wall, 10 racquetball courts, two international squash courts, two strength and conditioning rooms, an 1/8 mile jogging track, on outdoor equipment rental room and an outdoor resource center are all available under one roof. Within Ramsey lies the home of Georgia’s swimming and diving program – the Gabrielsen Natatorium. The natatorium area contains three separate pools. Adjacent to the main pool is seating for nearly 2,000 spectators. The volleyball center is in Ramsey as well, and seats 2,500.

After an afternoon walking through downtown streets it’s time for a beverage, but where to go depends on the mood you’re in. Walker’s Coffee and Pub (128 College Avenue; 706-543-1433; www. walkerscoffee.com) has plenty of wooden tables for small, or large groups. Allgood Lounge (256 E. Clayton Street; 706-549-0166; allgoodlounge.com) spans two floors and a rooftop Tiki bar, with a generous helping of large screen TVs throughout. Wherever you go remember this about Athens bars: There’s no smoking inside.
7:30pm
THE THEATRE ABIDES
None can match the view and atmosphere of the Georgia Theatre (215 N. Lumpkin Street; 706-850-7670; georgiatheatre. com). The Theatre has been a YMCA, movie theater, Masonic Temple and furniture store, but for most of the past 36 years it’s been a concert spot. A fire in 2009 gutted the historic venue, but two years of extensive renovations and the addition of a rooftop restaurant have vaulted it to the top of Athens must-see venues. The Theatre holds 1,000 people for shows in its multi-deck hall. While there, be sure to sit on the Rooftop (215 N Lumpkin Street; 706-850-7670; www.georgiatheatre. com/rooftop) where one can order a drink and food from The Branded Butcher (225 N Lumpkin Street; 706-850-5152; www.facebook.com/ thebrandedbutcher) a restaurant that focuses on local, organic produce and meat.

10:00Am
Athens claims indoor and outdoor treasures, and depending on the weather, your weekend destination could feature furnishings from the 1850s, or bears. The T.R.R. Cobb House (175 Hill Street; 706-369-3513; trrcobbhouse.org) is a 1852 home of distinctive color and octagonal wings, the home of a Confederate General and the cofounder of the UGA school of law. The house is set up to appear as it did in the 1850s, with exhibits and display cases of Cobb’s original weapons and documents. If outdoors is what you crave, Bear Hollow Zoo (293 Gran Ellen Drive; 706-613-3616) is a popular place for families, with a wildlife trail leading to homes of black bears, bobcats, snakes and alligators.
Noon
LORD LOVES GRIT
No visit to Athens is complete without a stop at The Grit (199 Prince Avenue; 706-543-6592; thegrit.com), a nationally renown vegetarian restaurant performing magical miracles with tofu on a daily basis. Located in a 19th century building around the corner from downtown, The Grit exudes a southern charm with its worn walls dotted by R.A. Miller’s scrap metal art. As for food, the brunch is highlighted by the esteemed Tofu & Veggies ($6.25), but the Grit Granola ($3.95) is also a bowlful of goodness. If you get a chance to come later in the day, the Golden Bowl ($5.50 small, $6.50 large) is an Athens tradition – browned tofu sauteed with soy sauce and nutritional yeast over brown rice. Be sure to check the chalkboard in either room for the abundant daily specials.
2:00PM
FROM ROME, ITALY TO ROME, GA.
Under the realm of UGA, the Georgia Museum of Art (90 Carlton Street; 706542-4662; georgiamuseum.org) is the state’s official art museum, showcasing works from the Italian Renaissance, American masters such as Winslow Homer and Andrew Wyeth, and self-taught folk artists such as Howard Finster. Renovated in 2011, GMOA expanded its main upstairs galleries and added an outdoor sculpture garden off the main lobby. Wide and expansive with rotating exhibitions and
36 HOURS 12 distinct collections, the museum is free though a $3 donation is suggested (and well worth the price).

FLOWERS COVER EVERYTHING
There are several outdoor wonders throughout the Athens area, but one of constant quiet and beauty is the State Botanical Garden of Georgia (2450 S. Milledge Avenue; 706-542-1244; botgarden.uga.edu), just a few miles from the downtown but in a world all its own. The sweeping property features gardens of herbs, flowers, shade and native flora as well as heritage and international gardens. There are five miles of ranging trail and there’s no better place for a Sunday stroll.

DOWNTOWN & NIGHTLIFE
DOWNTOWN & NIGHTLIFE FOODIE
MUSIC LOVER
SHOPPING, EATERIES, CAFÉS & PEOPLEWATCHING ARE THE LURE OF DOWNTOWN. Downtown Athens is remembered by many for what happens once the sun goes down – one of the top events held in its streets each year is called Twilight after all. But downtown in the light of day holds its own charm, as burgeoning clothing stores rub shoulders with jewelry spots, cafes, eateries, bars and places to simply sit and people watch. The spark of the scene can be traced to Valentine’s Day, 1977. Five friends, calling themselves The B-52’s, played six songs (including Rock Lobster) at a house party on Milledge Avenue. Within a year they would play New York City, and a year later would release their debut album to much fanfare worldwide. The B-52’s success started a small ripple of bands – Pylon, Method Actors, Love Tractor – that became a tidal wave with the creation of R.E.M. in 1980. Throughout the years Athens has been home to many bands and musicians – Widespread Panic, The Whigs, Neutral Milk Hotel, of Montreal, Drive By Truckers, Danger Mouse and Matthew Sweet – that found an audience beyond Athens’ borders. The area considered downtown is bounded on the north by Dougherty Street, on the south by Broad Street and the UGA campus, on the west by Pulaski Street, and on the east by Foundry Street. It boasts more than 65 specialty retailers, 55 eateries and 40 taverns and music venues.

The area considered downtown (which is also a historic district listed on the National Register of Historic Places) is bounded on the north by Dougherty Street, on the south by Broad Street and
UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA VISITOR’S GUIDE | 31
DOWNTOWN & NIGHTLIFE
the UGA campus, on the west by Pulaski Street, and on the east by Foundry Street. It boasts more than 65 specialty retailers, 55 eateries and 40 taverns and music venues. Once there, finding a place to match your interest isn't more than a few steps away. Looking for the latest fashion? Boutiques line the streets, including Fab'rik, Heery's, Cheeky Peach and The Red Dress Boutique, which all include designer brand names. Vintage shops such as Agora, Dynamite Clothing and Cillies host a variety of items for those looking to find a hidden treasure. Jewelry stores abound, with Aurum Studios and Athena Jewelers offering wide selections, while specialty shops such as Masada Leather and Native America Gallery hold a bevy of interesting finds. Looking for music? There's Wuxtry Records and Lo Yo-Yo Stuff if you want to listen, and Chick Music if you're looking for something to play. For those readers in the crowd, Jackson Street Books holds an array of used and rare books, as well as having some select music choices. Bizarro Wuxtry Comics, upstairs from the record store, has rooms full of comics and books for the young and old at heart.
40 WATT CLUB
On the corner of Washington and Pulaski streets sits the sixth location of the 40 Watt Club (A4), a spot where it has remained since 1990. Created by Pylon drummer Curtis Crowe for a Halloween party in 1979, the club (originally above The Grill on College Avenue) got its name from the single 40-watt light bulb that lit the space. It has been housed in buildings on Clayton and Broad streets during its more than 30 years in existence, including twice in the spot now known as Caledonia Lounge. Aside from hosting early shows from Athens’ legends such as Pylon, R.E.M., B-52’s and Love Tractor, the 40 Watt has welcomed a who’s who of rock history, including Nirvana, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Wilco and Radiohead.
GEORGIA THEATRE
Sitting on Lumpkin Street in the heart of downtown, the Georgia Theatre (A4) first hosted music in 1978 after years as a movie theater. It remained a music hall for a few years, hosting such luminaries as The Police and B.B. King, before becoming a movie house once again. In 1989 it became a music venue again. A fire inside the Theatre in the summer of 2009 shut it down, but the owners rebuilt the legendary music house and it opened again for business in August 2011. The Theatre offers a ground floor and several balconies to watch large shows, as well as a rooftop bar that regularly hosts its own set of bands. The view of Athens from the theatre's rooftop is worth pausing to take in the view with a snack or drink, even minus the music. Georgia Theatre's The Rooftop restaurant serves delicious snacks, burgers and sandwiches. Customers can enjoy smoked chicken sandwiches and grilled pimento cheese with a front-row seat of the city's skyline. 32 | UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA VISITOR’S GUIDE
RESTAURANTS
Athens is a destination for gastronomes of all types. Whether relaxing on the patio, enjoying a delicious pulled pork sandwich plate from Pulaski Heights BBQ, or taking in some fine southern cuisine at The Last Resort, there’s sure to be an option for every palate. Casual fare? Try The Grill, Marker 7 Coastal Grill, or Buffalo’s Southwest Cafe. How about Hugh Acheson’s Five & Ten, La Dolce Vita, or The National for fine dining? No matter your craving, you’ll find what you’re looking for.

THE GREAT OUTDOORS
THE GREAT OUTDOORS GARDENS AND EXOTIC PLANTS ABOUND, AND HIKERS, BIKERS, ROWERS AND SOWERS CAN FIND A PLACE IN THE SUN.
F
or all that is scenic about the University of Georgia – from its historic buildings on North Campus, its museums and concert halls on East Campus and its facilities for athletic prowess on South Campus – the green spaces in between are a wonder unto themselves. The campus flora is celebrated enough to be designated an arboretum, as stately, noble trees provide human scale, a sense of place, cooling shade, and tranquility to students, faculty, staff and visitors.
BOTANICAL GARDENS
THE ROSES ARE RED, THE LIRIOPES ARE BLUE
Three miles south of campus is the State Botanical Garden of Georgia, an educational facility operated under the auspices of UGA. The State Botanical Garden encompasses more than 300 acres, much of which borders the Middle Oconee River. It contains a number of theme gardens, special collections, nature trails, and a tropical conservatory that incliudes a gift shop and cafe.
OCONEE FOREST PARK AND INTRAMURAL FIELDS ALL THINGS ATHLETIC, SURROUNDED BY CENTURY-OLD GIANTS
Managed by the Warnell School of Forest Resources, East Campus’ Oconee Forest Park is the school’s gift to the University community. The park includes Lake Herrick, foot and bike trails, picnic tables, and open, grassy areas bordered by native plants and wildflowers. Towering 100-year-old trees are remnants of a once extensive old-growth forest that stretched across the bypass toward the UGA Golf Course. The park (I2) provides a convenient living laboratory for faculty who teach botany, ecology, dendrology and horticulture. But there’s just as much to do as to see. Picnic areas include tables and two permanent charcoal grills, while canoes and pedal boats
can be rented at Lake Herrick. The park includes an extensive hiking area with a large off leash dog park, for those with four-legged friends; a 2.57 mile fitness trail with pull-up bars and fitness facts; a ropes challenge course for those who like their action above the tree line; 15 tennis courts; a dozen playing fields, for sports including lacrosse, softball and soccer; and a batting cage.
HERTY FIELD
A PEACEFUL SPOT MARKING THE START OF GRIDIRON GREATNESS
Behind the Chapel on North Campus sits Herty Field (B3), the spot of the first intercollegiate football game played in Georgia. On Jan. 30, 1892, Georgia topped Mercer 50-0 in front of a few hundred sideline spectators and students watching from their dorm windows in nearby New College. Georgia played its home games on the field until 1911, when a new field was constructed off Lumpkin Street. The grounds were then used for informal intramural games and as a drill field for the R.O.T.C. trainees. It is now an open green space anchored by a huge fountain, a backdrop for weddings and graduation pictures. The field was named in honor of Dr. Charles H. Herty, professor of chemistry and sports enthusiast. He introduced football to the college boys and was unofficial coach and trainer of the early teams.
ARBORETUM WALKING TOUR AND TRIAL GARDENS A STROLL AMONG GIANTS
With an abundance of stately, noble trees, the University has been designated as an arboretum spreading throughout the entire campus. The towering tress generate a sense of place, cooling shade, and tranquility for students, faculty, staff and visitors. To walk this hallowed campus is to sense the pride in its heritage and hope for the future.
UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA VISITOR’S GUIDE | 35
THE GREAT OUTDOORS
A “Tree Walk” was created by the University of Georgia Campus Arboretum initiative, and brochures marking the trees on North, Central and South campus can be found in the University Visitor’s Center. Deep within campus behind the Snelling Dining Hall are the Trial Gardens. The Gardens (E3) trial features the newest varieties of annuals from all over the world and puts perennials to the test to find those that stand up to southeastern heat and humidity. The Gardens at UGA are open all year.
OLD ATHENS CEMETERY
A QUAINT, QUIET SPOT AMID THE BUSTLE OF CAMPUS
Across the street from the Main Library, nestled near Lamar Dodd, sits the Old Athens Cemetery (above), Athens’ original burial ground. Purchased for UGA in 1801, all townspeople were allowed to bury their dead there free of charge. Some markers are uninscribed local field stones, while others are of imported marble. Two Revolutionary soldiers are buried there, as well as Dr. Moses Waddell, University president from 1819-1829. The last known burials occurred in the 1880s, and today the cemetery, with its beautiful park-like setting, serves as a place of quiet reflection and remembrance of Athens long ago.

FOUNDER’S GARDEN
THE FIRST GARDEN CLUB ORGANIZED IN AMERICA IS REMEMBERED IN NATURE
Created as a living memorial to the 12 founders of the Ladies’ Garden Club of Athens, the first garden club in America (organized in 1891), the Founders Memorial Garden (B3) not only serves as a museum of landscape design, but also a natural laboratory for botany, forestry, and related disciplines. The property is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The layout of the two and one-half acre plot on North Campus includes grounds of the former Headquarters House, a formal boxwood garden, two courtyards, a terrace, a perennial garden, and an arboretum. After the establishment of the garden in 1946, the old smokehouse was acquired for a living museum to the 12 women. It was restored and furnished in keeping with the period of the house. Historical mementos, pictures, and a painting depicting the first meeting of a garden club are among the museum’s most treasured items.

Here are the spots to buy food on a per-item basis: Dawg Bites in the Biological Sciences Building (D2); Dawg Snacks in the Tate Student Center (C3); Bone Appetit in Aderhold Hall (F3); Dawg Bone in the College of Veterinary Medicine (F3); and The Village Market in Joe Frank Harris Commons (G2).
The Tate Café food court, located in the newly expanded section of the student center, contains Barberitos Southwestern Grill, Larry’s Giant Subs, and Hogies, an Asian eatery developed by UGA Food Services. Red Clay Café, (G2) next to the Ramsey Center in Joe Frank Harris Commons, features three restaurants in one. Sweet Java Brown’s offers Seattle’s Best Coffee and tempting treats such as Edy’s premium soft serve ice cream, smoothies, brownies, cheesecake, cookies, muffins, and pastries; Between the Bread serves gourmet sandwiches made with an array of fresh ingredients, including freshly baked bread; and Tossing Greens highlights freshly chopped and custom made entrée and side salads.
