Shopping -(Nadine's favorite hobby)

*Downtown New Bern is made up of two main roads parallel to each other-Middle Street and Craven Street. We recommend parking on one of them and browsing into the many adorable shops that downtown New Bern has to offer. Some of our favorites are:

-The Pepsi Store (birthplace of Pepsi Cola)

-Mitchell Hardware (must go to shop for all essentials&souvenirs)

-Lulu Balou (for the ladies!)
