Best place in town to get a 'New York pie'. Brian says, "A slice of home" (pun intended). They deliver. (in every way!) O.K., I'll stop.

One of our favorite downtown places. Upscale, but not overly fancy. Wide variety of menu choices, reasonably priced. Split level, lots of T.V.s for game watching. Full bar, so good place for cocktails, too.

Even if you don’t enjoy looking at big, old mansions, the grounds are beautiful, the winery is lovely, and the restaurants are awesome!

Shopping

Maybe the 2nd most visited place after Biltmore. Something for everybody. Old timey, fun, touristy stuff, and some really nice, high quality clothes. Very serious camping/ hiking/ outdoors center on lower level. Don't leave town with out checking it out.

Amazing artistry by local craftspersons. But don't go to the store- go to the museum store on the Blue Ridge Parkway (not far). Most of us can't afford to buy anything, but the browsing will blow your mind!
