Super nice area. Easy to get to from New Circle Road, lots of parking, almost always a bunch of spots available close to the buildings. The heart of the place is Joseph Beth Booksellers- a lovely building that feels homey but is also huge- massive ceilings, a big middle area that looks out onto the lower level. A bistro up top and a fine dining restaurant below, cool water features outside viewable from one side of the building filled with massive windows. Love going there. The Whole Foods there is nice as well. There are numerous other small shops- mostly clothing stores which I tend not to be a big fan of in general, but the area overall is really nice, seems upscale, easy access, feels really safe, right off a major thoroughfare, but feels quiet and serene. Great place to go any day...

Read moreThe bookstore Joseph-Beth is the only real notable store still left within this plaza - others are an art store - Artique - some very nice pieces and nice staff, and a store that sells ergonomically correct seating. The bookstore's selection is good and its a very pleasant place to spend a few hours. Good kids section and lots of fun, unique gifts. The restaurant Palmer's is quite good and a wonderful place to relax, listen to the fountain, watch the ducks and enjoy a good meal or drink. I'm sad to see all of the other stores pulled away to go into the new mall - The Summit - this is still a great place to spend...
