Houstons across from Lenox = my favorite. Never, ever had a bad meal. Good house beers. An upscale type steakhouse/bar

Sambuka(Sp?) in Buckhead - Jazz restaurant. Woman sang to me in Japanese. ill setup. Lamb chops off the chain. Very nice setting

Atlantic Station has a lot going on during the day and night, but havent been in a while. Tried Dolce, paid way too much for like a few scallops and garnish

This is all I can think of for now. If anyone else can help me out, please do so, and thanks in advance.

Wish Atl

DTLR in most malls has some heat

Greenbriar (hood mall) but has some good in there as well

Mall of GA sucks. its just a big $%# mall

On the way to ATL, is the Tanger Outlet where the Nike Outlet is located, def go there for cheap heat.

Walters also has some heat.

Standard ATL, around the corner from the Lenox Mall has some good in there too.

^Lenox is boring, unless you got dough.

I dont live there, but thats where i get 90% of my kicks from.

REMEMBER, RETAIL IS FOR SUCKERS!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is pretty late but some store in Phipps Mall had the AF1s the last time I was there a few weeks ago. I forgot the name of the store. I think it'sBarney's but I'm not sure
