The Scene – Owned by the folks behind Bacchanalia and Floataway Cafe, Star sells the gourmet grocery experience in a way that sets a new standard for sexiness. Still, unless you've got money to burn, you'll see it as little more than a place to stretch your legs after lunch at neighboring Taqueria Del Sol. – – The Goods – There's a distant chance you'll spot a cool hostess gift or the ideal wedding present for your very, very best friend.

For out-of-the ordinary ingredients and fancy housewares
by JessicaSophia at Citysearch
If you're looking for Himalayan red salt, foie-gras stuffed hamburgers, boutique olive oil and retro candies, look no further. This gourmet food store-slash-housewares store is Atlanta's best source for specialty foods and ingredients. There's also a large selection of beautiful tabletop items and giftware, all of which are rather expensive, but very special and unique. The meat, cheese and fish counters have a gorgeous selection (again, on the pricey side), and the bakery sells beautiful sweets. There's a tiny alcove in the front where a local farmer sells his produce certain days of the week.
- Pros: Good selection, high-quality merchandise
- Cons: Expensive!

- Pros: The varietal use of familiar, but unorthodox combinations of great ingredients; the Porchetta.
- Cons: the snobbiness of their "marketeers"
