We dined at a James Beard award-winning restaurant and ate Cuban food on a rooftop terrace with mountain views. Our Friday evening started with sipping craft cocktails at a cozy speakeasy before joining the weekly traditional Drum Circle in Pritchard Park.
During the tour of the Thomas Wolfe Memorial that includes his childhood home, the inspiration for his novel “Look Homeward Angel,” we learned his characters were so thinly disguised he didn’t return to Asheville for seven years.
There was also time for a little shopping downtown, a farmers market and hiking in the mountains. Check out our 24-hour itinerary.
