Danielle here. It’s one of my favorite weeks of the year: Restaurant Week South Carolina. I have reservations lined up at local eateries to get a taste of what our local chefs have to offer.

33 years ago, Joan Herlong of Joan Herlong & Associates Sotheby’s International Realty and her husband were newcomers to GVL (with two preschoolers and an infant), when it was filled more with possibility + potential than it was “popular.”
Greenville City Council had a packed agenda this week. They approved Woven, a multi-use development coming to The Village of West Greenville, and unanimously approved a first reading of new district maps, with a second and final vote on the maps expected later this month.
Drink
Sometimes you’re looking for a craft beverage sans alcohol. From completely unique offerings using ingredients behind the bar to spirit-less classics like a nonalcoholic old fashioned and a no-jito, we’ve crafted a list with 30+ drinks you can sip in Greenville to help support your Dry January goals.
Eat
We’re still thinking about the Daylight Burrito we ate last Saturday and can’t wait for them to pop up at Grateful Brew this Saturday, Jan. 14 at 8:30 a.m. Have a favorite Greenville pop up? We want to try it.
