Phipps Plaza is an upscale, indoor mall in the heart of the Buckhead neighborhood of Atlanta. Not only is Phipps home to more than 100 stores, including luxury brands, but it also houses entertainment venues and dining options for the entire family. Here are five things you must do at Phipps Plaza.

1. Shop Designer Boutiques

Shop for anything from Tiffany jewelry to handbags at Nordstrom or shoes at Saks Fifth Ave. With all these stores you can literally shop till you drop! Who knows? You might even spot a celebrity. 

2. Brunch

Brunch at one of Buckhead’s best brunch spots, Davio’s. Known for its delicious Italian fare, Davio’s also offers a brunch that includes unique savory spring rolls like chicken parm and Reuben, gnocchi and Bolognese, as well as traditional brunch favorites like waffles, pancakes, frittata and more.

3. LEGOLAND Discovery Center

If you’ve got kids, plan a fun day at Phipps. Head to LEGOLAND Discovery Center in the morning and follow it up with lunch at Johnny Rockets — a classic Americana restaurant that resembles a ’50s diner and boasts “The Original Hamburger.”

4. Take a Dance Lesson

Take dance lessons at Dance With Me, an internationally recognized dance company home to Maks & Val Chmerkovskiy, and Tony Dovolani from “Dancing With the Stars.” Services include private and group dance lessons, wedding dance, dance fitness, employee wellness and more. 

5. See a Movie

Take a break from shopping and catch a movie at the AMC 14, located within Phipps Plaza.
