Area Restaurants
(The list below is becoming rather dated, and we do not know if COVID-19 has affected these restaurants and their operations. We do suggest you try to call first)
Held in Norcross, GA, the Southeastern Stamp Expo isn't exactly amidst a plethora of restaurants, however, there is good dining in the area. The restaurants we are listing here would be labeled "fine dining" experiences, with pricing to match. We strongly recommend you research the restaurant before you commit to it, as we haven't tested out all of these restaurants.
Furthermore, we cannot understate our recommendation for the Hilton's own restaurant, Latitude 33. We have never had a bad meal here, and their chef has consistently delivered a delicious meal for our Awards Dinner on Saturday evening. And the hot buffet breakfasts included in your show rate have been the hit of the show for all guests.

Norcross Square
Equally local, but a number of very good restaurants in very close proximity. Turn right out of the hotel onto Peachtree Industrial Blvd, and make a left at the first light onto Holcomb Bridge Rd. The square is about 1.5 miles along Holcomb Bridge between S. Peachtree St. and College St. These restaurants are all highly rated, but some would not be considered "fine dining."

A Little Further Afield
There are some very good restaurants in the Perimeter Mall area. This will mean a little bit of a drive, but still not very far. Essentially, you must drive south on Peachtree Industrial Blvd to Interstate 285 (known as "the perimeter" in Atlanta), and then go west two exits (2 miles) to Exit 29 (Ashford Dunwoody Rd) and go right off the Interstate. Perimeter Mall will come up on your left once you cross Hammond Drive.
Maggiano's Little Italy - 4400 Ashford Dunwoody Rd, Atlanta, GA, 30346 (Italian; it is in Perimeter Mall)
Cheesecake Factory - 4400 Ashford Dunwoody Rd, Atlanta, GA, 30346 (A slight step down, but very popular. In Perimeter Mall)
