This restaurant is no more than 4 minutes drive from our home. We've only heard good things other than the prices are a bit high.

Delicious local coffee shop that roasts their own coffee. It is about a 4 minute drive from our home. My drink of choice is an iced mocha breve with one pump vanilla and yes, I am a coffee snob:)

River Arts District (RAD) Food and Artist Scene Recommendations

The RAD is host to over 200 Artist's Studios. If this sounds overwhelming we'd highly recommend Asheville Art Studio Tours. We love that their tours are artist led and that they introduce you to the RAD in an intimate way. They also offer Experience Tours if you are interested in not only appreciating great art but making it.

This is one of the most photographed places along the Blue Ridge Parkway. The hike is really beautiful too. It is a 2 hours drive from our home...if it were closer we'd probably hike it often. Giant boulders, small streams, and epic long range views make this a very memorable spot.
