I just read an article in the New York Times travel section (albeit a year old) about Buckhead, which is just north of Atlanta’s central downtown area—or we say “uptown” since it tends to be classier, more upscale, and a lot more expensive. According to the NYTimes article, it’s “one the of the nation’s wealthiest communities…the Beverly Hills of the South.” Now I don’t know if I’d go THAT far, but it certainly is a very nice area, with beautiful malls, great restaurants and bars (yes, I’ve created for myself a bit of a social life), museums, and stunning houses and hotels.
Here are some places in the Buckhead area that are worth checking out:
- Atlanta History Center – has the world’s largest Civil War collection
- Lenox Square Mall
- Metropolitan Museum of Art
- Atlanta High Museum
- Photography Center of Atlanta
- Margaret Mitchell House and Museum
- Cathedral of St. Phillip
- Swan House
