212. That’s how many restaurants are in the Downtown Greenville area. If one of your New Year’s resolutions is to get out and explore the city’s dining scene, this new resource is for you.

Greenville History Tours launched the #UltimateGVLFoodie List, a new subscription service tracking all of those spots to wine and dine.
