I have found 2 maps that were very helpful when we were looking into these very issues in 2004 (the first year in Atlanta.)

They are:

Downtown Atlanta:

&

The immediate area of the Georgia World Congress Center & Centennial Olympic Park:

(I'm not sure where the new Aquarium is in those maps though)

And another useful map, this time for restaurants:

The MARTA system takes you pretty much anywhere you want to go and is relatively cheap (with discounted group weekend ride packages usually offered as well). The longest ride you will have will be the one from the airport to this vicinity which is about 20-30 minutes or so(?)
(I didn't go last year, so I'm not absolutely sure, but it's not that far).
