If Atlanta had a grand drawing room, it would be Buckhead. Tree-canopied streets like West Paces Ferry and Tuxedo Road set the scene for stately estates, while Peachtree hums with shopping, dining, and a steady glow of city energy. It's polished without being precious — the kind of place where you can spend the morning at the farmers market in Cathedral of St. Philip's parking lot and the evening at a tasting menu downtown.
