Things To Do
Beer Barrio
One of their favorite taco places! The owners are actually from Indiana, and went to Lawrence Central. For those of you who don't know, that was Kaylie's rival high school.
Flytrap Brewing
A great brewery to sit outside, and enjoy a drink, and possibly catch a delicious food truck and live music. Fun Fact: Venus flytraps (Dionaea muscipula) are native to the coastal plains and sandhills of North and South Carolina, and only grow naturally within a 75-mile radius of Wilmington, North Carolina
The Copper Penny
If you love sweet potato fries, this is where you want to go. This restaurant has one of Gaston's favorite sandwiches, and he always gets those sweet potato fries. Pretty neat it was featured on Food Network’s Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives.
Quanto Basta: Italian Eatery & Wine Bar
Maybe Gaston and Kaylie are biased, being that this is where they had their first date, but this is one of the best Italian restaurants.
Floriana Wilmington
Talk about a romantic dinner date night! They have balcony's for two that over look the Cape Fear River (they're first come, first serve). Gaston and Kaylie celebrated their 1st anniversary here.
Battleship North Carolina
If you're a history buff, the battleship is a cool family friendly exploration throughout the ship. Self-guided, and make sure to wear comfy sneakers. It's a big ship!
Satellite Bar and Lounge
One of Kaylie and Gaston's favorite spots for a monthly dance social. This is where that brush of hand got them wondering if there was more there for the two of them.
Kilwins Ice Cream - Chocolate - Fudge
This may be a place you're familiar with, but this one is located in the hub of downtown Wilmington. Maybe it's the atmosphere that makes it better than the rest, but try for yourself - grab an ice cream cone and then walk down to to the river to enjoy the view with the treat!
The Ivy Cottage
If you're a thrifter or antiquer - this is it, this is the spot. Multiple buildings, right next to each other, that guarantee you will find what you're looking for, or what you didnt know you needed and now want. One of Kaylie's favorite spots.
Genki Japanese & Sushi Restaurant of Wilmington NC
THE BEST SUSHI. Limited hours so check their website to make a plan. Lunch hours are first come first serve, and recommend a reservation for dinner.
