Buckhead is home to some of Atlanta's finest restaurants, best shopping, fabulous night life and the high-rise offices of many of the city's top businesses. Former Mayor of Atlanta, Sam Massell, President of the Buckhead Coalition, describes Atlanta this way: "It's the dining room of Georgia, the nightclub of Metro Atlanta, the economic engine of the city, the most beautiful neighborhoods on rolling wooded lands and the shopping mecca of the Southeast". Combine this with southern hospitality, and the city known as "The Beverly Hills of the East" also has a caring heart, and many of the organizations referenced are listed as resources to assist you.
