It doesn't look like much from the outside, but if Frank Sinatra were alive, this would be his joint. Great Italian eats and a winner of Asheville's best places to eat.

Our favorite hike, hands down. This 1.5-2hr hike pays off with the trail ending on a literal cliff with a killer view. Hikers take caution, not recommended for children.

Grab a drink, or if you have time, sign up for the free tour. It is entertaining, and you get to sample the drinks. I learned more about brewing beer from this tour than I ever expected to know.
