Extra Credit: Snag a corner table at Five & Ten, where chefs Chuck Ramsey and Hugh Acheson turn out seasonal dishes worthy of their own theme songs. Or refuel on fried chicken and cornbread at Weaver D's Delicious Fine Foods (706/353-7797).

Sure Beats the Dorm: The modern Hotel Indigo may stand out from the historic district blocks away, but the 130-room LEED Certified property is a welcome addition to the neighborhood.

If You Do Go For a Game: It's not uncommon in the South for mascots to be so revered that they are eternally memorialized. Fans leave flowers by the marble vault on the stadium's south side, the final resting place for UGA I, II, III, IV, V, VI, VII, and VIII.
