Atlanta Shopping
As Atlanta is quite cosmopolitan, it is easy to find what you seek be it trendy or tacky, funky or fashionable or anything you can think of in-between. The city and suburbs are teeming with malls, neighborhood shops, galleries and antiques.
Malls are by far the most convenient since most have generous parking, cinemas and restaurants. Lenox Square Shopping Mall includes over 170 stores including Macy's, Neiman Marcus and Laura Ashley; it is the place where Atlantans shop.
Phipps Plaza features Saks Fifth Avenue, Niketown, Tiffany's, Belk and Gucci. Peachtree Center is the only mall within easy reach of the hotel district in Downtown. For bargains, you have to drive a little out of the way to the Georgia Premium Outlets in Dawnsville or Discover Mills in Lawrenceville.
Underground Atlanta is more the touristy-type destination with souvenir shops, food outlets and kitschy stores. Buckhead has been called the 'Beverly Hills of the East' because of its array of designer shops, art galleries and upscale boutiques. For antiques and reproductions at almost feasible prices, we can recommend a visit to Bennett Street.
