And let's step away from Midtown Business District make this easier.
Meatpacking District (which is in Downtown Manhattan) vs Buckhead District.
Buckhead (District)
Armani, Gucci, Versace, Fendi, Burberry, Louis Vuitton
Meatpacking District
Stella McCartney, Maison Martin Margiela, Alexander McQueen, Christian Louboutin, Jeffrey New York (which carries Fendi and Armani), Diane Von Furstenburg, La Perla, Scoop, Helmut Lang, Burberry Prorsum, Yohji Yamamoto
Not to mention the most exclusive nightlife. And a far more glamorous and fashionable atmosphere.
Basically Buckhead has all the stores you could find in a single mall in New Jerey, such as the mall in Paramus (which has more luxury shops than the entire Buckhead). Or a mall in Houston. Armani, Gucci,.....*yawn*. None are really too high fashion, more like mass produced higher end fashion.
Meatpacking District has the the most exclusive stores that commoners in the United States can't pronounce that you could only find in Paris and Milan.

It's Lenox Mall and Phipps Plaza, but yes, you are correct. That stat was just for those two malls combine.

Never said it did.

No, that is not correct. Buckhead as a district is 80 square miles and has 40 neighborhoods and is far larger in size than Manhattan. People often mistake (and it really depends on how you look at it) the Lenox/Phipps, Buckhead Village, and Tuxedo park and a couple of neighborhoods surrounding those areas to be the entirety of Buckhead when in reality it is not (that was the old Buckhead pre-annexation...sort of).

Um, NO.
It can't even compete with the 0.2 mile stretch in the heart of the Madison Avenue shopping district.
I do not and I predicted this would happen in this post:

Of course, I am betting good money the above explanation will get totally ignored by a poster or two.

Guess you missed that part...
Someone presented us with a link boasting of Buckhead having the highest concentration of luxury shopping as a district. WRONG.
Pure delusions of grandeur.
That person has clearly never been to Manhattan, Beverly Hills, South Florida....or even Las Vegas!
WOW-- this is ridiculous you got the 3-5 Atlanta homers all tag-team attacking grapico for exposing the realities of Atlanta. Instead of attacking him, maybe you guys should take a peak at the poll results and realize YOU'RE the ones in the minority here!! The poll isn't even close--stop trying to compensate for this by swarming on anyone who gives reasons for why the results are the way they are. lmao. you guys crack me up...
Atlantagreg--hurry up and close this thread before these locals make your city look any worse; its not far to Atlanta.
Nobodys saying that Buckhead can compete with Hoboken teamed up with Jersey City and Manhattan. That was a senseless comparison to begin with. Where the last bit of arguing came in is when your friend tried to say Buckhead is no different from suburbs of cities up North and out West. To which I argued that may look true (looking at bits and pieces of google map) but is far from the case. To which he answered Atlanta is on the same level as Portland. Which is just ridiculous. That's all we're saying. In other words we've admitted Hoboken+Manhattan has us beat it's when you guys keep throwing in those extra jabs like Atlanta=Tampa or whatever that we keep objecting to.
doesn't mean that Buckhead can compete with Manhattan for upscale boutiques in any of it's shopping districts.
I like how this was ignored and I see why. Someone says something about Atlanta in a sentence with a city a ATL hater loves or feels is better and then they claim we are comparing so and so city to Atlanta.
I mean just look at it. He even put the disclaimer up and people still thought he was comparing Manhattan to Buckhead. Are you people dumb or just trolls? Read what is says above. This stuff happens all the time any time Atlanta is mentioned with another city someone creates a stupid strawman about someone else claiming ATL is better or something. You people make me sick. This site is turning into trash. Why wont you people get lives? Who sits here and ignores a disclaimer just to create strawmen to bash a danm city?
