This…read moreis a beautifully maintained town that incorporates an abundance of amazing landscaped homes and public areas. We had an opportunity to walk the downtown area exploring the shops and dined at one of its many wonderful restaurants with friends. Whether you travel in or out of the area via Routes 321 or 421 brace yourself to experience some extreme grades being this is truly a mountain town. I think most of the trip down the mountain in our Motorhome was in low gear with the jake brake engaged. We had a wonderful visit here and although we knew this trip here would be amazing it exceeded our expectations in every way, if you are traveling anywhere close to Blowing Rock it's definitely worth spending some time here...

This place is awesome-- good for the soul to walk around mountain roads and beautiful parks…read more It feels like a small ,4 street or so place with lots of park green spaces, hilly roads, boutiques, and eats of all sorts. I was luckily able to hike most of the streets of the exclusive Mayfield Park neighborhood---all on top of a glorious hill. I sweated my way through various hill streets with exclusive views. Both Westglow resort and spa AND Chetola Resort and spa are in town ( former more private and up a hill) and a refuge for those who crave privacy. Lots and lots of inns and cutesy hotels. A quite small Tanger outlet is also in town. Savings galore for myself at Banana Republic! Lake, waterfall, trails all accessible within the town center. Boone City is but :10 north on the 321. An easy drive a bit more up the mountain. It's the anniversary of my mother's passing. Just want to spend time with God, and her spirit

As I walked around the stadium even the seats that were really high gave a good view of the action. It is a little on the smaller side, if you are used to going to larger stadiums. But sitting in Boone on a sunny afternoon can never be a bad thing! One of the bad things about the place was the really crowded concessions, of course maybe that was the fact that the record was set for attendance that day. All in all i will go back to see a game again.

Once inside Kidd Brewer, the seats are all decent -- not a bad view in the place. Concessions are good -- be sure to grab some cookies from Appalachian Cookie Company!! Plenty of bathrooms and they're always pretty clean, not to mention WARM during those frigid winter games. Fans are always festive yet polite. All in all, a great college football experience for this newbie!

If you're ever in town on a Saturday, make sure you come. The earlier, the better, too. I think the market is open until 11 or 12, but if you want first pick of vegetables, artwork, and flowers, the earlier the better. Like 9am kind of early. No worries, you can make your first stop the coffee station or a food truck for breakfast -- my favorite being the breakfast pizza at AMB's Farm to Flame truck, which is ALWAYS here every Saturday rain or shine.

It might have just been the holiday rush, but I always figure "busy means good," so my expectations were high--and The Local didn't disappoint. We started with the nachos; they were delicious, though I do wish they came with a bit more meat. For mains, the burger was outstanding--probably one of the best we've had in the entire area. We also ordered the Brazilian steak, which was cooked perfectly and came with great plantains. The quinoa with tofu was good, too, though it was a little dry and would have been perfect with a sauce. The service really stood out. Our waitress was incredibly attentive and refilled my water at least four times without me asking. Great ambiance and an all-around good experience. Definitely worth the wait!

Will 100% return and this is definitely a spot not to be missed. Also fantastic beer selection!!!

That's what keeps shows such as this fresh. The show would have been much more enjoyable if the parents directly behind us had been gracious enough to remove their loud, talkative children to a section where they wouldn't have ruined the experience for me.
