Atlanta’s Networking Hotspots
By Jeff Hilimire on Saturday, August 4th, 2007Valleywag has a post about the hotspots in Silicon Valley, and instead of going into my typical meditative state where I hum loudly and picture myself in Silicon Valley in the midst of all things online and cool (ok, I don’t really do that…much), I thought I’d maybe point out some of the hotspots in the ATL. Below are four of the most popular networking spots to grab a bite, each with a little something different to offer.
The Silver Skillet - mostly breakfast networking but you can find everyone here
OK Cafe - breakfast or lunch, take your pick
Thumbs Up Diner - for the East Atlanta crowd
The Flying Biscuit - my favorite is the one on 10th and Piedmont…
Anyone care to suggest a few more?
I have a tag on my personal blog called meeting places where I have tried to document the best meeting places in Metro Atlanta. http://mindblogging.typepad.com/my_weblog/meeting_places/index.html
I definitely think we need to be capturing and sharing this information.
The Cornery Bakery on Piedmont (close to Pharr road) also seems to be good for networking, as is almost every Caribou Cafe (favoring the one in the Perimeter Mall area, the one in Decatur, and the one north of Atlanta in the Forum shopping center).
I’ve been meaning to post the same information for spots in Charlotte…check here for my updates www.kbsales.wordpress.com
