Friends’ Getaway

2 Min Read

Need some time to reconnect with friends and get out of town…without getting too far out of town?

Brookhaven is the perfect solution for a quick getaway where you can relax and enjoy great shopping, drinks, food, and entertainment when you need a break that won’t break the bank (or your schedule).

Looking for a mind-body recharge? Start the day with a walk around the lake at Murphey Candler Park, then put yourself in good hands with a massage at Massage Heights or Relax Center, where staff will tailor a session to your unique needs.

Does your idea of a getaway fall more along the lines of sleeping in than working out? Either way, brunch in Brookhaven is a must on any itinerary. Make your way to The Flying Biscuit's patio for the perfect classic benedict, pancake tacos, or chickens and waffles. Stroll around town and explore unique boutiques like Dress Up and Vestique, where you’ll find a perfectly curated selection of clothing and accessories (with a personal stylist available), and Marguerite’s on Dresden, where luxurious bath and bedding abound, and trunk show events pop up on the regular.

Pull up a seat at The Ashford, a cozy neighborhood gem, where you can enjoy craft cocktails, a wine tasting, and standout dishes like the indulgent Lobster Mac & Cheese, crispy cheddar and bacon Stuffed Popovers , and savory Smoked Gouda Flatbread. Just across the street, indulge in wood-fired pizza at Vero or savor Italian-inspired dishes at Valenza, crafted with locally sourced ingredients. For a change of pace, head to Town Brookhaven, where you can enjoy a laid-back pub experience at HOBNOB, a lively spot for Southern-inspired fare and drinks, or explore Jerks Caribbean Grill for a flavorful taste of the islands.

If your getaway plans include a weekend, don’t miss the Brookhaven Farmers Market before you leave. Grab a fresh, cold-pressed juice or the perfect slice of homemade pie, and stock up on goodies from local farmers and artisans to enjoy at home…a jar of local honey, handmade pasta, French macarons, Georgia peaches, and bouquets of beautiful blooms are a great way to take a bit of your getaway back with you…and get you thinking about your next girls’ trip.
