Chris's order- friend chicken sammie or double smash burger with side of house chips... get a side of their homemade ranch
Brunches
If you want any sort of breakfast cocktail- this is the spot for you!
They have many locations in Wilmington, so definitely check google to see the one closest to you!
After a long night shift, Chris and I frequent Brunches for an adult beverage and their breakfast tacos
Moving on from breakfast/lunch to our favorite dinner spots!!
PinPoint Restaurant
Anything on this menu is good! Cocktails=amazing! We have a hard time going on date night anywhere else. They have a chef made, rotating menu so it is always different!
manna
This is a fancy, anniversary night type of date. We could eat them out of oysters! They will make any kind of cocktail you wish- just describe what you are in the mood for!
Floriana Wilmington
Are you in the mood for Italian?!? This is the spot for you. You can have a romantic night on the balcony just the two of you!
Finally some places to go...
The Cargo District
The cargo district has a special place in our hearts! It is full of small businesses that we love to support! Our favorite distillery, End of Days, is located in the heart of the cargo district. If nothing else, you should visit there!! It also holds our favorite pizza place- Salita Pizza, as well as more food places we frequent- Mess Hall, Cheesesmith. Other bars we pop into for a Sunday funday are-Alcove, Fermental and the Starling. There are little shops spread out in the cargo district for anything from soap and candles to clothes and plants.
Wilmington Riverwalk
Want some exercise? Walk the Riverfront in the heart of Downtown Wilmington! It is 1.75 miles one way
North Carolina Aquarium at Fort Fisher
One of the four aquariums in North Carolina!
Battleship North Carolina
Want to tour what was considered the greatest weapon in the world in 1941? Well then the Battleship tour is for you!
Airlie Gardens
The most beautiful garden in Wilmington! Airlie hosts some of our favorite event throughout the year like Enchanted Airlie for Christmas, summer concerts and an oyster roast in the fall. The grounds are absolutely stunning!!
