Shopping and Dining in Buckhead

Buckhead is the ultimate shopping area, with two major malls and lots of little boutiques, antiques shops, and galleries. If you’re serious about shopping, this is the place to start. Even though the area has an upscale reputation, don’t let that stop you. There’s lots of variety, and the competition can mean excellent bargains. With over 1400 retail shops in the area, Buckhead offers something for everyone.

The hot spot for the best of Buckhead is at the corner of Peachtree and Lenox roads, where you find two major malls — Phipps Plaza and Lenox Square — face off against each other. Phipps Plaza is the premier upscale shopping center and is home to more than 100 specialty stores including Gucci, Giorgio Armani, Jimmy Choo, Tiffany’s and Juicy Couture. You also find Nordstrom, Belk and Saks Fifth Avenue. After a day of shopping, see a movie at the AMC 14-screen theatre or grab a meal at The Tavern at Phipps, Twist, or The American Cafe.  Lenox Square is anchored by Bloomingdale’s, Neiman Marcus and Macy’s, and features nearly 250 specialty stores like Anthropologie, BCBG, Bobby Jones, Burberry, Brooks Brothers, Calvin Klein, Cartier, David Yurman, Louis Vuitton, Kate Spade, and Ralph Lauren. If shopping makes you hungry, eat at one of the many restaurants such as Prime and California Pizza Kitchen or eat at the food court. If your time is limited, pick one of these malls and spend the morning or afternoon there. Both malls offer valet parking for a fee.

If you have more time and are interested in art, antiques, or decorative accessories, head straight to Bennett Street, which features over 30 antique shops and art galleries. Two of my favorite galleries on Bennett Street are the newly expanded Anne Irwin Fine Art and the Matre Gallery which features the works of Steve Penley. Around the corner is another favorite, Peachtree Battle Shopping Center which features Publix, Talbots, Festivity,Tassels, Nadeu|Furniture with a Soul, along with may other shops and restaurants including Starbucks. There are also many options in Buckhead West Village, near the intersection of Peachtree and West Paces Ferry roads. Shops also line the rest of Peachtree Road as well as smaller side streets. Professional interior decorators will want to make the trip to Miami Circle, open to the trade and public as well as ADAC | Atlanta Decorative Arts Center which is open to the trade only. ADAC occasionally opens their doors to the general public for a few special sales.

Buckhead dining  options are endless. It is home to some of the best restaurants and is the go-to place when dining out. To dine at one of the many restaurants it is important to plan ahead and make a reservation, especially on the weekend.
