Underground Atlanta - so named due to a viaduct erected above the street in the 1920s to alleviate traffic - has the potential to be a premier historic site. The street-level vendors create a festive feel with their city memorabilia offerings, and often special events will take over the mall's pleasant outdoor areas. The food court has a good selection, and at night, the bars and restaurants at Kenny's Alley stay open until the wee hours. World of Coca-Cola, CNN Center, and Centennial Olympic Park are only short walks away.

This sleek n' swanky store is the first stop for well to do trend-seeking shoe enthusiasts in the Virginia-Highland shopping district. Polished hardwood floors and dance music pumping on the sound system underscore the "young and beautiful" feel. There's enough truly wild stuff here for Cher wannabes: funky pink stilettos, or perhaps a pair of clear plastic shoes with four-inch heels. Men's shoes include leather sandals in mustard-yellow by M.C. & Power, as well as a full selection of loafers from Reaction by Kenneth Cole. Even though Hallman's clothes boutique is only a few storefronts away, the shoe store also includes several racks of clothes.

In New York, it's 5th Avenue. In Los Angles, it's Beverly Hills. In Atlanta, it's Buckhead. Legend has it that store owner Henry Irby killed a large deer and mounted its head where travelers could see it. You won't find any mounted deerheads today, unless it's at Holland and Company, or one of the other myriad antique shops. Here you'll find the finest exclusive clothing stores, unique book stores and a plethora of Art Galleries. Window shop during the day the picturesque Peachtree Road, then at night treat yourself to dinner.
