Very well known high end restaurant dressed up as a dive bar. We recommend sitting at the bar. The bartenders are very knowledgeable about the menu and your glass will never be empty! Turns into a fun bar late night with dancing.

Although it's named "Market and Deli" Gypsy Queen is largely a restaurant and has some of the best Mediterranean we've ever had... AND homemade baklava gelato. It's insanely good.

This Ingles is in the heart of West Asheville. It is much smaller and a little more funky than the other location. Still has a great selection and a lot easier to park and get in/out.

Local liquor chain. Hard liquor in North Carolina is regulated by the state. You can only buy hard liquor here. Beer, wine and mixers need to be purchased at the grocery or specialty shop. They are open 10:00-9:00 Mon-Sat, so stock up before Sunday hits!

This market is quintessential Asheville. All organic and locally sourced food. One stop shopping from body soap to juice bar. We love their pre-made sandwiches and salads. Try The Hipster! Good things to take with you for a snack on a hike or touring the Biltmore. Can't tell you how much we love this little place.
