Avondale, Woodlawn & Crestwood

The Avondale, Woodlawn, and Crestwood neighborhoods are so close to the city center, you can almost reach out and touch it. And yet they feel like a world away. There’s a laid-back vibe to these sister 'hoods that sets them apart — the perfect blend of urb and suburb. Some mark them as ground zero for the Magic City’s recent renaissance, and much of what’s going on here frequently lands Birmingham on the national stage. Jam-packed with great places to grab a bite or a beer, catch a gig by local and national touring bands, and shop! New and used vinyl, funky antiques and furniture, vintage clothes, art and objets d’art can all be found a hop, skip, or five-minute car ride away. Slowing down more your speed? There’s family-friendly parks a plenty, coffee shops, and even a speakeasy-style bar to wet your whistle.

The bold, black-painted brick exterior of Public Office is a study in contrasts. Step inside and the atmosphere is open, bright and rejuvenating. Modern. All pale wood and natural light, like a spa or minimalist gallery. Owner Armand Margjeka describes Public Office as an “apothecary concept store” that extols the virtues of mindful consumption, simplicity, quality, and intentional, beautiful design. In addition to a large selection of Aēsop skin, hair, and body care products, Public Office have curated a collection of thoughtfully designed lifestyle products—candles, linen kitchen towels, porcelain tea pots, journals, art books—by brands from all over the world.
