Shopping in Atlanta
 Atlanta's shopping districts are world famous. Much more Paris than Southeast USA, the brands and designers that have set up storefronts in Atlanta are world renowned and prestigious. However, if label shopping isn't your ideal, then there are plenty of small, local boutiques that offer unique wares and goods. The best place to start your shopping expedition is in the Buckhead neighborhood of Atlanta, which has more than 1,400 retail stores. Buckhead has all the big chain stores you'd expect, but it's in the locally owned businesses where Atlanta shines. Bed and Breakfast Travelers often enjoy reading-- many bookstores are to be found in Buckhead, including local, independent ones such as Chapter 11, which was voted "Best Independent Bookstore" in Atlanta Magazine. And for the men, a popular store to patronize in Buckhead is Miller Brothers Ltd, where you can get a suit custom made to fit. Outside of Buckhead, if you're looking for an unusual gift to take home, then visit Mingei World Arts, where you'll find everything from international goods like kimonos to hand-made jewelry. Bed and breakfast Music lovers will enjoy a visit to Decatur CD, which has thousands of CD's and even books about music. |
