Virginia Highland Books is a Charming Indie Bookstore

The corner of Virginia and Highland avenues found its missing piece with the opening of indie bookstore Virginia Highland Books. The Virginia Highland neighborhood is known for its unique and quirky boutique shops, restaurants, and cafes. The one thing missing was a bookstore, and now they have it.

There’s something special about getting lost in a good book. Page after page, losing track of time when a book is too good to put down. It’s reminiscent of being a kid, and this independently owned bookstore gives you that feeling. When you first walk in there’s a table with staff recommendations and hand written notes attached. You can find the hand crafted notes all throughout the store, which adds a personalized touch as you explore the two-level bookstore.

The Garden Room Atlanta is Buckhead's Enchanted Dining Experience

Atlanta’s St. Regis Hotel is known for having upscale restaurants and things to do that aren’t just limited to guests.

One look at the photos of the restaurant and it’s easy to see why it’s so popular and nearly impossible to get a reservation.

Buckhead’s enchanted restaurant is usually booked a whole month out and can be a bit frustrating to try and find an opening, but that’s why I’m here. After successfully getting a reservation and dining in, I learned a few tricks so that you can get the chance to experience The Garden Room if you haven’t already.
