Speaking as a Sicilian, this is one of the few places I’ll eat Italian out. It has a fancy vibe while also feeling like your family’s dining room. It’s my favorite date night spot in Asheville. Check their website for daily specials!

Coffee + Tea

This place is nestled right in the middle of the graffitied warehouses and artist lofts of the River Arts District. It’s a quick 3 minute drive from the studio. They have a delicious coffee selection and a great in-house baker. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating.

A cozy spot to relax with an expansive tea selection from around the world. The masala chai here is my favorite. And their kitchari is the best on a cool fall or winter day!

Views

Hands-down one of the best views in town. This is an Asheville must-see. My favorite way to enjoy the Grove Park Inn is to arrive 30-45 minutes prior to sunset, find a seat on the terrace, order some snacks and beverages, and watch the sun set over downtown Asheville.

360 degree panoramic views! This is an easy 1.5 mile out-and-back paved trail (through rhododendron gardens in the summer). I always recommend this hike to guests because it offers a nice 45 minute drive on the Blue Ridge Parkway and excellent views. Sometimes the fog can be thick in the mornings at high elevation. Take a look at the forecast before you plan your trip!
