Virginia Highland

Every major American city has a district that claims kinship (however slight) with New York's Greenwich Village. In Atlanta, it's the Virginia-Highland section, so named for its central avenues, northeast of downtown. Here you'll find ethnic restaurants, antique shops, bookstores, sidewalk cafes, art galleries, lively bars and bistros, and browsable shops selling everything from gourmet gadgets and woodworking tools to ecologically correct clothing. The surrounding area is full of tree-lined streets with charming little cottages, many of them recently renovated.
