Kallie’s guide to GVL
Food scene
Jianna is directly across from Falls Park (the big waterfall/suspended bridge park)
You should expect to pay around $25 or so for an entre but the sizes are good and the food is delicious. They also have a great wine and cocktail menu. This is where I like to bring my out of town family members when they visit!
*Make a reservation the day before!*

The Anchorage is going to be a little bit on the pricier side but if you are looking for legit farm to table, relaxed and delicious dining experience this is a great option. Last I checked they offer a chef's choice type meal. Everyone at the table must agree to do it and it was $50 (last a checked) per person but WORTH IT! They bring you courses through the evening and it's a whole experience. The wine and cocktail menu us also amazing!

So this one is a little far away from the AirBnB but with GPS and just enough patience, you will NOT regret going here. I PROMISE! If you are willing to travel for about 30 minutes to Traveler's Rest you will find this local FAVORITE brunch spot. don't think this is your average crepe.. oh no. This place is magic and if you want a good cup of coffee, they have it! Don't let the line out the door scare you. It moves at the speed of light and I don't know how it works every time but you are NEVER without a table. They run this place a tightly as the best Chic-Fil-A drive-thru you've ever been in. 10/10 will always recommend.

Methodical Coffee
101 N Main StAll I will say is BEST COFFEE SHOP in Greenville. Period.
This is a new little bar in the West Village. It is themed like Alice and Wonderland but not over-the-top. Very chill, very cool. Don't forget to check out the bathroom if you go.

This place is just cool. A father and son duo founded this funky spot and it is now a local favorite. They created a space from shipping containers around the perimeter of the lot that host a wide variety of restaurants and local bevs, with a large shared space in the middle where you can sit, eat and catch some live music. Anything from pasta, to sushi, local beer to donuts, you can find it here!

Sightseeing
Falls Park has not always been what it is today. Originally, there was a hwy that ran through the park, exactly where the Liberty bridge is suspended today. In 2002, Mayor Knox White got the go-ahead to tear down the old Camperdown Bridge and restore the park to the family friendly, breath-taking site that now is truly the heart of Greenville.

If you are here during the summer and are looking to see the great outdoors and maybe even get your feet wet, check out Paris Mountain State Park. With miles of hiking trails, grills and a small lake, this is an awesome place to swim and hang out while in Greenville!
