This year marks Condé Nast Traveler’s 34th annual Readers’ Choice Awards. The number of categories for the best of the best around the world is extensive, but we’re most interested in their, “Best Cities in the US” list — one that features both large + small cities and had 800,000 reader-submitted votes. 🤯

Why, you ask? Because Greenville is officially No. 5 of the 10 Best Small Cities in the US. 🎉

Finishing ahead of Carmel by the Sea, Key West, Savannah, Jackson Hole and Newport, RI — Condé Nast Traveler attributed local eats + drinks stars Jianna and Vault and Vator, our growing craft beer scene, expansive Swamp Rabbit Trail and Falls Park, and abundant local resources to our being on, “the cusp of stardom.” Call us starstruck with our own city. 🤩

Shoutout to our Lowcountry sister city market, Charleston (hey, CHStoday 👋) for nearly topping the list at No. 2.
