September is a really special month: Friendship Month. This holiday was founded in 2010 to honor current friendships and create new ones. There are so many ways to celebrate. You can get together with old friends who you haven't seen in a while. Or, you can head to a local venue to socialize and form new friendships. Here are a few key places our real estate agents recommend visiting to celebrate Friendship Month.

National Peach Month is in August, and there's no better place to celebrate this tasty fruit than in Atlanta. After all, Georgia is known as "The Peach State," and Atlanta has too many streets named Peachtree to keep track of them all. Eat a peach all on its own, or enjoy it in a delicious dessert. Make sure to treat yourself to a juicy, flaky peach cobbler this August in Atlanta at one of the following restaurants recommended by our real estate agents.

If you're looking for a new section of town to explore, Castleberry Hill is a historic neighborhood with tons of art, culture, and entertainment. Because of its proximity to the new Mercedez-Benz Stadium, the area has seen an influx of visitors giving rise to one of the best food scenes in town. From classic southern cuisine to excellent barbeque, a trip to this part of town is a great way to experience Atlanta. Our real estate agents frequently visit Castleberry Hill for dinner on the weekends, and here is a list of some of our favorite restaurants.

Whether you're a novice interested in art and looking for a creative outlet or an experienced artist looking to hone your skills, there's an art class in Atlanta to suit your needs. Of course, painting and drawing classes are offered, but you'll also find classes that help you make pottery, learn to weave, and explore other art forms. Our real estate agents suggest taking an art class at one of the following Atlanta area venues.

With the smell of freshly baked buttery pecans, a sweet and gooey filling, and a crisp crust, pecan pie is a classic treat and the quintessential Southern dessert. It also happens to be a favorite among our real estate agents, who constantly scoop out bakeries and diners around town in search of that perfect piece of pie. We were delighted to hear National Pecan Pie Day is July 12, and you can bet that we'll be debating over which of these five Atlanta destinations serves the best slice.
