If you want a close, local, high end meal, this is walking distance from the house (<10 min walk?). One of Greensboro's nicest restaurants in a beautiful hotel.

It's next to Greensboro's newest park, Lebaurer Park. It has a quintessentially European feel with dark wood interiors and a gracious patio. If there is some big event going on in Greensboro and you want to avoid the crowd but still get out, this is your spot. Wine Wednesdays, steak Thursdays, and the best of all - mussels Tuesday!

Shopping
There are not many independently owned grocery stores anymore, but this is one of them. AMAZING beer selection, and groceries too! Only about a mile from you. (this neighborhood corner has several restaurants, bars, coffee shops, laundry mat with a bar in it, etc... check it out!)

A huge Asian grocery store. If you've never been to a huge Asian grocery store, now is your chance. (within a block or so, you can find some good Asian restaurants too... Korean, Indian, Thai, Vietnamese, Chinese). I love the Korean food at (Danji).

Drinks & Nightlife
Lively brewery with good (enough) beer. They have live music many nights per week with no cover. If you have a bike or can find a BIRD scooter(download the app), you can take the GREENWAY along Benjamin Pkwy. (LOCAL HACK IF NOT IN THE MOOD FOR WHATEVER FOOD TRUCK IS ON SITE: Deep Roots Market next door has a small hotbar)

Parks & Nature
if you walk downhill on Candlewood from our house, make a right on Mimosa, then look to your left, you'll see a walking bridge to this Greenway. Great running trail, a couple mile walk to downtown, or a fairly easy bike ride around town (there are "BIRD" scooter & bike rentals around Greensboro, just download that app)

Great for running or walking. A lovely place for picnics and a fun little museum that's big enough to to show some good history without overwhelming you. They have huge reenactments several times a year and they are really fun.

Everything Else
This is a Greensboro special. It's part arts and culture, part history, part mania, and if you are lucky you might find a good meal, a great drink, or see a live performance. It all depends on the day. If you have time for a wild story and an eye-full of oddities, I would make this a destination for your stay. Good luck trying to figure out what the hell is actually going on here.
