love this east side place. get the Brussels sprouts

We love visiting this farm and grabbing lunch- so beautiful!

I’m addicted to the green curry with Ashley Farm’s chicken & the hibiscus tea🙂💕

This place is so cool. I learn something fascinating each time we visit. The otters are the best. 

I’m always inspired at Blue Spiral. They also don’t mind if you’re just there to look...

Pack’s has music and great drink specials. Try the homemade veggie burger!

If you’re in West AVL make time to go here for some self care- they’ve got specialty tea, too.

Catch some live music in this classic AVL venue- and they’ve got a taqueria.

Get the Lorelei IPA and crispy chicken sandwich. - so good
