As I mentioned before I spent four days in Tbilisi with Rita. We rented an apartment in the town, where we stayed. We were touring the city partly together and partly I went on my own.
For one day I took a local guide, Svetlana, who is an expert on Tbilisi. She showed me interesting neighborhoods and places, which I could otherwise not discover on my own.
We were in a restaurant named "Old Walls". They server traditional Georgian cuisine. There was also a table with a choir of Georgian men, singing local folk songs.
There is a good choice of wine:
And fantastic food:
With Svetlana, I went to an old Georgian house, which was renovated and reflects the 17th-century style of living. To enter the Porakishvili House is free of charge, but you have to find the guy with the key.

Old and new Tbilisi:
Mama Georgia - wine in one hand and sword in the other. Depends on who's coming - will get her left or right.
Old houses are supported so they don't collapse. I personally wouldn't park there:
The secret Tbilisi. Entrances and staircases.
In Tbilisi used to live an ethnic German community. They were all deported to other Soviet states after the World War Two.
