Quick Hits: Haute Happenings in Atlanta

With Valentine’s Day behind us and spring not far off, it’s the perfect weekend to get out on the town. Whether it’s shopping at Buckhead Shops, grabbing a cocktail at the newly opened St. Regis restaurant or catching the final Barnum & Bailey Circus VIP style, here is what we have on our radar this weekend and beyond.

The Shops Buckhead Atlanta-Let’s Go Adler! 

What is there not to find here at the Shops Buckhead Atlanta? From Akris, Dior and Alice & Olivia to Diptique, Davidoff and Etro, there is something for everyone with discerning taste. This weekend however, we are all about the interior pieces at acclaimed designer store Jonathan Adler.

Have fun and play around in this Buckhead store filled with Adler-style goodies. And this weekend, get ready, they are having a blow-out sale so you can stock up on your faves. In honor of President’s Day, take $50 off every $250 you spend. And with awesome pieces like the Rider Dining Chair now in Gold Velvet, this is one you can’t pass up.

This newly renovated spot, located in the lounge/library of the high end restaurant in the hotel, has given its guests a new type of dining in addition to their five-star regular style. Opening at 4 p.m., get ready to order some small plates and hand-crafted cocktails from a much more casual menu and atmosphere. So far, we love the mouth-watering small plates such as the Rosemary Roasted Ruby Beet Tartare and the Petit Lobster Pot Pie. And that is just to start.

Don’t worry, the acclaimed Atlas, now featuring two unique environments,  will continue to provide a fine dining experience in the dining room in addition to the new menu at the Tavern Atlas. Basically the best of all worlds. Depending on your mood, your company and your level of hunger, Atlas and The Tavern has you covered in all areas.

And while you may be too busy relaxing in Buckhead to hit any cultural events over the weekend, don’t forget Monday is a holiday and this is one show you don’t want to miss: Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey^® Presents Circus XTREME 

Monday, are the final two shows at Phillips Arena in Atlanta and if you are lucky, you may score some great seats and behind the scenes tours. Sadly, after 146 years, Feld Entertainment, the parent company of Ringling Bros and Barnum & Bailey announced that the two circus units would conclude their tours early May of 2017. For good. As in they won’t be coming back to Atlanta. However, if you do happen to miss this show, they will be back in Duluth at the Infinite Energy Center from February 23- March 1.

And according to website, this show is supposed to be the best and most exciting ever.  High-wire wizards, powerful strongmen, BMX trick riders, trampoline daredevils, inconceivable contortionists, a high-flying human cannonball, a bungee aerial skydiving display and an international assembly of more than 100 world-renowned artists  provide 2 ½ hours of thrilling entertainment. And for the ultimate experience, ticket holders can upgrade with the VIP Behind the Scenes tour.  To take advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime experience, just log on to ringlingbros.expapp.com to become a VIP circus insider.
