Food scene
These are our favorite places to eat or order from in our side of Athens.
We take all of our out of town guests to Cali-n-Titos. If you want to avoid a really long line, we recommend arriving early. The restaurant used to be a large nursery and has actual palm trees in it and so many other fun things. People love their fish tacos and plantains...but all of their food is really good! Cuban and Peruvian influence and flavor.

Johnny's is our favorite east side pizza. Just order ahead. If you need pizza in a hurry, then Papa John's is faster and right outside the neighborhood (in front of Publix).
