Things To Do
Max Patch Hike
This easy 1.5 mile loop leads you to gorgeous 360 degree mountain views. Highly recommend taking an SUV or 4-wheel drive car up there as the roads can get bumpy, but our Jetta did okay on it too. Brian and I took the easier 0.3 mile summit to the top and back, so this is an easy hike with a slight elevation. Totally worth it!
Lexington Park Antiques
If you know us at all, then you know we couldn't write this list without including an antique store! This one is deceptively big- we ended up spending two and a half hours in here when we thought it would be only one. So many treasures here!
Battery Park Book Exchange
Located at the historic Grove Arcade, this two-story bookstore is decorated with art and antiques. The best part? They offer champagne and wine that you can sip on while you browse. Come for the books, stay for the *~fancy~* vibes.
The North Carolina Arboretum
Beautiful, curated gardens with unique flora and fauna? Check ✔️. Miles of hiking trails through tall, peaceful forests? Double Check ✔️✔️. Spending a few hours here is definitely a must do when visiting the area.
Antidote Cocktail Lounge
We came here for a drink after our engagement shoot, and it was well worth it. Delicious craft cocktails with impeccable service and a moody, vintage, apothecary style ambiance.
Pie.Zaa Pizza
Craving a pizza slice bigger than your face? Then look no further than this shop. It's also open until 1AM on the weekends.
