The Shops of Miami Circle

It's easy to miss The Shops of Miami circle when flying down Piedmont Road while heading from Midtown to Buckhead--but don't. There are great prizes to be found among the small galleries, gift shops and home design shops that make up this shopping circle. Get in the art mood and begin your adventure with strolls around Thomas Deans Fine Art, Anne Irwin Fine Art and Bill Lowe Gallery, three local art galleries with an ever-changing line-up of local and national artists. Select handsome accessories and give your digs that extra flourish after a trip inside The Gables Antiques, Acquisitions or Foxglove Antiques & Galleries. Post-shopping fun can be had at the newly opened boutique bowling alley, The Painted Pin, which sells craft cocktails and gourmet grub lane-side.
