Go see Harvey or Bruce!!! You will be hooked up with beautiful shoes at a beautiful price....a must when shopping in Atlanta!!!
There is also no telling who you'll run into. Just last month I caught new Hall of Famer Dominique Wilkins doing his spring shoe shopping. So besides selection, price, location and all, Friedman's gives you more!

You'd have a difficult time finding any area of our city as delightfully quirky as East Atlanta. Gentrified, but not oppressively so, the neighborhood's commercial area has stabilized over the last year. Indeed, one of Atlanta's coolest boutique restaurants, Iris, opened there and is worth a drive from anywhere in the city.
Hinds' cuisine is mainly fish prepared the way you'd find it at the typical Parisian cafe. Everything is sauteed or grilled. He also pays homage to his time in the Caribbean, however, with occasional flashes of island spices, adding zing, for example, to his rice pilaf. "Mainly," he said, "I use creamy garlic sauces popular in Paris, but here and there I go a little wild." Indeed, the use of garlic is a bit overwhelming for my taste. Don't eat here and then go to a club in search of love.
The menu is surprisingly comprehensive. The regular menu of eight entrees was complemented by seven specials the night of my visit. I ordered shrimp and scallops over pasta with the inevitable garlic sauce. A filling dish, with far more shrimp and scallops than I expected, it suffered only because of a side of mushy green beans that could have been canned. You'll want to nibble on the fruit that's also on the plate for a bite of acidity to counteract the heavy sauce.
