Buckhead, long recognized as Atlanta's most prestigious collection of neighborhoods, is much more than stately homes, historic bungalows or an exquisite collection of condominiums and high-end apartment complexes. Buckhead is a destination for visitors from all corners of the globe, and has been since the 1960s. Buckhead, which encompasses an area of approximately 28 square miles, offers visitors from near and far 5,200-plus first-class hotel rooms, 200-plus restaurants, 70-plus art galleries and approximately 1,400 shops, boutiques and markets.

As an integral part of our distribution area, Points North magazine is pleased to present The Best of Buckhead, a bi-monthly magazine section designed to inform and entertain our readers about this exclusive destination. In addition, we have created an online guide for updated news, events and openings for this extraordinary locale that was annexed into the city of Atlanta in 1952.

This section is presented in conjunction with the Buckhead Coalition, Inc., an organization of business and civic leaders who are mutually interested in nurturing the quality of life for both residents and visitors in the Buckhead community. For more information, please visit them online at thebuckheadcoalition.org.

As the days progress, the online content for this section will expand and we look forward to your suggestions on those restaurants, shops, cultural acitivites and in-town getaways you enjoy the most.
