Sarah & Austin
Things To Do
Dewey's Bakery
A must-stop for desserts, baked goods, fudge, and ice cream! Sarah's favorite are the cream horns.
Reynolda House Museum of American Art
Nestled within 180 acres adjacent to Wake Forest University, view Reynolda's world-renowned American art collection and curated exhibitions on display throughout the interiors of Katharine and R.J. Reynolds’s 1917 bungalow and in the Babcock Gallery. Plus, learn about the Reynolds family, Katharine’s vision, and the history of the estate. After touring the Museum, embrace the outdoors in the Gardens and grounds, which are always free and open to the public year-round from sunrise to sunset.
Old Salem historic district
Take a walk through the past in downtown Old Salem, featuring historic businesses like the bakery which makes authentic Moravian cakes and cookies, a haberdashery, and historically accurate gardens. It's free to walk around this district and tickets to access all buildings are available on-site. (Winkler Bakery is always free).
Historic Bethabara Park
Bethabara Park is 183-acre wildlife reserve and Moravian settlement that started in 1753, before the community ultimately moved over to Old Salem. Many buildings have been restored to their former glory and charm, such as the Bethabara Moravian Church. The over 10 miles of trails that traverse the grounds make for a wonderful day of wandering.
Foothills Brewpub
The downtown location for Foothills Brewing, pull up a seat and enjoy your beer. Did you know Sarah is technically from the foothills of NC? That's a good enough reason to raise a glass, right? They're open until 11!
Small Batch
Great beer, decadent food, and giant milkshakes -- what more could you want? Small Batch is a brewery, bar, and full restaurant. Their mission is simple: provide the most ultimate, indulgent food and drinks that tempt your carefree side to 'just go for it.’ Note: Inside is diner-style and seating may be limited. Thursdays - open until midnight Fridays - open until 2 a.m.
Wise Man Brewing
Wise Man was founded by just that, three wise men. A Ph.D. chemist, lawyer, and accountant banded together to open up the brewery located in the historic Angelo Brothers building just on the edge of the Downtown Arts District. Serving up over 20 craft brews and seltzers in a big taproom with long wooden tables, Wise Man often has food trucks parked out front on a regular basis to serve up delicious fare to pair perfectly with your beer. Thursdays - open until 11 p.m. Fridays - open until midnight

Black Mountain Chocolate
They actually make their own chocolate, from heirloom, fair trade Criollo cocoa beans. You can watch the chocolate being made at their Visible Factory on Trade Street downtown. It's not all chocolate though, you can also enjoy a wide variety of confections, pastries, gelato and drinks - inspired by BMC's chocolate and the great tastes of other local, small batch artisans.
