Editor’s Pick
ICYMI
  • Meet Greenville Bike Taxi, the city’s newest pedicab service. Founded by recent Charleston transplant and nine-year pedicab driver Phillip Gonzalez, his dad Leonard, and his stepmom Joy — we took a ride on this green (and scenic) way to get around downtown.
Seasonal
  • We mentioned TD Saturday Market up above, but the first weekend in May means other Upstate markets open for the season. Bookmark our Farmers Market Guide — bonus points if you visit them all before market season ends.
Coming Soon
  • Summer Moon Coffee is opening soon across from The Lofts at Mills Mill. The TX-born chain is known for its wood fired coffee and moon milk (read: signature sweet cream). While you wait to sip on a Summer Moon Latte at the Greenville location, shop its line of coffee and merch on its website.

Tatum here. I grew up on Wrightsville Beach, a vibrant town on the coast of North Carolina filled with colorful shops, towering live oak trees, and friendly people.

In the summertime, this two-stoplight town bustles with locals and visitors alike on their way to walk The Loop, grab a beer at the beach bars, or catch a wave.

Act like a local

  • Food: Your trip is not complete without Trolly Stop. Grab a Carolina dog with lemonade for lunch. Make dinner reservations at Seabird in Wilmington and order the smoked yellowfish tuna + tomatoes.
  • Outdoors: Grab a latte to-go at Zeke’s and walk The Loop with a friend. This 2.5-mile loop gives you just enough time to catch up with your pal + finish your coffee while you get some fresh air.
  • Boutique hotel: Blockade Runner, This historic oceanside resort has a pool, bar + restaurant, and gardens to enjoy. (~$350/night, prices vary)
