- When shopping at Lenox Square or Phipps Plaza, consider taking advantage of the complimentary personal shopper service available at most of the larger anchor stores. Call ahead to schedule an appointment.
- Pack a picnic. Take in one of Atlanta’s favorite summer pastimes, a concert at Chastain Park Amphitheatre or Piedmont Park.
