Plan a weekend getaway in Brookhaven, Georgia as summer ends. Enjoy shopping, outdoor recreation, and diverse cuisine, from down-home meals to those with a touch of drama.
Only 10 miles outside of downtown Atlanta, Brookhaven’s small-town atmosphere offers a pleasant reprieve from the hustle and bustle of the big city. These friendly, walkable communities offer new discoveries at every turn.
Whether you’re looking for a casual lunch or an upscale date night, enticing chef-owned restaurants abound. Grab an authentic Cuban sandwich from Havana Sandwich Shop or partake in traditional Southern fare at Donnie’s Country Cookin’. You’re looking for a dinner that has a bit of drama? Enjoy Petite Violette’s fine French cuisine while you take in their murder mystery show, “Murder, Mystery, and Mayhem,” on Friday and Saturday nights.
Shop for home décor, haute couture, and unexpected treasures at local boutiques. Booklovers will delight in spending an afternoon getting lost in the aisles of Atlanta Vintage Books. Head to Redefined Home Boutique to discover new furniture, or swing by Vestique for one-of-a-kind, stylish clothing options.
