Things To Do
Bobby Boy Bakeshop
You won't want to miss this James Beard Award 2024 nominee! The special sandwich and chocolate croissant is always delicious. They are closed on Sundays, just FYI!
Camel City Coffee
A favorite local coffee shop with wonderful seasonal beverages. Ruby is a local celebrity here!
Dough-Joe’s Doughnuts & Coffee
You know in cartoons when the smell is illustrated and has a hand on the end, coaxing a character to eat delicious food? If you’re within 100 ft of Dough Joes you’ll have the same experience. Hot, fresh donuts like you wouldn’t believe. Our family fave is blueberry.
Camino Bakery
A Winston-Salem staple! Located in the heart of downtown and serving made in-house pastries, breads & desserts.
Chad's Chai
Truly the best London Fog! You'll enjoy this cozy spot that features lots of seating in a beautiful setting.
Krankies
Chicken and biscuits at one of the long time local places hits the spot for breakfast!
The Katharine Brasserie & Bar
A fun and delicious French restaurant where we've celebrated special occasions. You will likely need a reservation, but the bar area (also amazing!) is first come, first serve.
Six Hundredº
On the edge of Bailey Park, Six Hundred Degrees is a snappy casual restaurant featuring a cozy ambiance and artisanal cuisine. Reservation recommended.
Mission Pizza Napoletana
A pizza place. Real original right? Mission Pizza Napoletana is fresh, inventive and intimate. While pizza is in the name, you won't want to miss the fresh pasta! If you're feeling adventurous, the prefixe menu experience is completely original every time. Reservation recommended.
Small Batch Beer Co.
This microbrew is local through and through, and a huge spot for soccer lovers. Small batch and handcrafted beers are brewed onsite. Jenna's favorite burgers in Winston are here too!
Incendiary Brewing Company
Great local brewery spot near Battery Park in downtown Winston-Salem. Grab a beer and a pizza from Cugino Forno next door and enjoy.
Wise Man Brewing
Wise Man is known for inventive beers and community-focused approached. The tap room is always cozy and a great spot for groups meeting up. They typically have a food truck and music.
Joyner's Bar
Joyner’s feels like a big city bar with its trendy vibe. They serve excellent cocktails in a unique space–a welcome addition to the west end area of Winston-Salem.
Reynolda Gardens
If you're up for a walk, there is a cute shopping center and walking path through the gardens at Reynolda. Banks proposed to Jenna on the walking path!
Wake Forest University
This is the major university here in Winston-Salem, and the school Banks represents for work. Wake Forest is a very pretty campus to explore during your stay in town.
Shops on Trade Street
A walkable and fun part of downtown Winston-Salem! There are cute shops, art galleries and restaurants to visit. Banks' office, LEARFIELD, is located right in the heart of it. We have a few favorite stores to wander through - Mast General, Off the Rack Vintage and Still Grimey.
