Best Shopping, Bars, and Dinner Spots in the A! Readers' Questions Answered.

Blayne Macauley September 1, 2015

From time to time readers write me emails asking for advice or my opinion on what to do when they visit Atlanta.  I love these emails, and I put a lot of effort and thought into answering them and offering suggestions.  Sometimes I hate that the answers do not make it onto the blog, so today I thought I would compile some of my favorite questions into a post.  If you ever want to ask me for my advice on anything, please let me know.  I have very little expertise, but I LOVE giving advice! ;)

I have a friend coming in town and want to take them on an afternoon of shopping around Buckhead, where should we go?

  • Huff Harrington Home - for home goods and gifts
  • Baby Braithwait - if you want to motivate yourself to have a baby
  • B.D. Jeffries - for books, frames, purses and scarves
  • Boxwoods - for anyone who loves plants or home accessories.  

I 💛 spring! #babybraithwaite #easterbunny

Looking to add a little pizazz to your front porch? Stop by the plant department and check out our topiary selection. Pictured here: a myrtle topiary - one of our bestsellers!

What are some of your favorite places to visit on a Saturday afternoon?

  • The High Museum offers wonderful exhibits and a break from the heat
  • Westside Provisions has the coolest shops, and I can't leave without getting ice cream from Jeni's
  • Krog Street Market in Inman Park is my favorite place right now!  I love all the food vendors, including Little Tart Bake Shop, Jeni's and Superica (my favorite new Tex-Mex joint).

It's the perfect evening for an outdoor film. #SundownSeries @atlantafilmfestival
