Things To Do
Poe's Tavern
Our ride-or-die dinner spot in Wrightsville. Get the Beef Rue Morgue and clear your evening plans.
Beach Bagels
Our go-to for morning bagels. Order The Jose on an everything bagel and thank us later.
SUNdays Coffee
Our favorite beachside coffee shop. You might even run into Kolby (Julian’s cousin) behind the counter! Julian's go-to is The Webb smoothie.
Blueberry’s Grill
If you're looking for Southern brunch, this is the spot: hushpuppies, biscuits, and sweet tea.
Kipos
Julian's favorite upscale Mediterranean food! If it's sunny out, sit on the outdoor patio and enjoy a drink.
Explore the Downtown Wilmington Riverwalk
Take a stroll along the Cape Fear River on Wilmington’s Riverwalk, where you’ll find waterfront restaurants, local shops, bars, and historic charm. You must grab Kilwins for ice cream!
Indochine
Our favorite Thai spot near downtown - the curry and pad thai are to die for!
The Cargo District (downtown)
Local bars, restaurants, and shops built from cargo containers. Grab a drink at The Starling, play arcade games at Cargo Cade, or grab a bite at Beat Street or Mess Hall!
Ponysaurus Brewing Co. (downtown)
Our favorite spot downtown for pizza, wings, and beer! We love sitting outside in the beer garden.
Explore Wrightsville Beach
Kick off the day with a stroll around “The Loop,” a local favorite path around town, then rent paddleboards or kayaks from Wrightsville SUP, grab some food at our favorite spots above, and rent bikes from Wrightsville Beach Bikes & Boards for a sunset ride.
Jimmy's
A classic beach dive bar. On a Saturday night in 2019, you’d find us here listening to live music, then stumbling home after a late-night slice from Vito’s across the street.
Zeke's Beans and Bowls
Perfect for poke or a quick smoothie. Meghan gets The Cali (obviously) and Julian swears by The Spicy.
Cloud 9 Rooftop Bar (downtown)
A fun rooftop bar with a view of the river. Perfect for sunset drinks!
Little Loaf Bakery and Schoolhouse
It’s no secret that we love a good bakery. Set inside a converted 100-year-old home, this bakery’s bread is so good it might just beat Meghan’s sourdough.
Fish House Grill
Fish House Grill is Meghan’s go-to spot on a sunny afternoon to grab drinks and lemon pepper fries with the girls. Sit out on the patio and enjoy the view of the water!
Mayfaire Town Center
Grab coffee at Calico Coffee Bar, enjoy breakfast at Drift Coffee & Kitchen, Vicious Biscuit, or Brunches, lunch at Cheesesmith, dinner at BentoBox, and finish with ice cream from Boombalatti's Homemade Ice Cream. You can also stop by Blakeley’s Apparel & Gifts and say hello to our friend (and the owner), Haley!
