More than Everyday Shopping

            Atlanta is best known for Coca-Cola, the 1996 Olympics and the many professional sports teams calling the city home, but fantastic shopping and dining should not be excluded from the city’s highlights.
While Atlanta has thousands of restaurants and shopping opportunities, Buckhead, located 10 miles north of downtown, is an area offering unparalleled shopping and dining experiences even locals crave.

Stylish, elegant Buckhead boasts some of the most upscale, exclusive stores any shopper could want as well as several award-winning restaurants, including the chain Ruth’s Chris Steak House, Buckhead diner (praised in Food & Wine magazine), Ten Degrees South, authentic South African cuisine and South of France, offering decadent French faire. 

A shopping trip just isn’t complete without visiting some unique local shops and Buckhead offers plenty.  From furniture, antiques and shoes to retro music, apparel, and punk rock music and clothing, there is something in Buckhead for just about everyone.  A few shops worth checking out include Abbadabbas, the place for “comfy� shoes, located at 322 East Paces Ferry Road.  Another unique shop is Luna, offering upscale women’s clothing and accessories, located at 3167 Peachtree Road.  Finally, there is C’est Moi at 3198 Paces Ferry Place, which specializes in French furniture, linens and décor.
