All things Asheville

I'm in Asheville for the week working on my sanity and on my way here, I was thinking about all my favorite places in Asheville and what I would be able to accomplish while I was here.  It got me thinking that some of my favorite spots might not be your favs, or maybe you don't even know about them. The "She Spot" to the rescue. So my visit is almost over and I haven't posted anything in a short while, so I thought I'd share with you some of my favorite things about Asheville!  Here Goes:

Food:


Wow, that's a small picture, but Mela is certainly on the top of my culinary list in Asheville. The Chicken Tikki Masala and the Goat Chesse & Spinach Naan truly changed my life. Other notable favorites of mine include The Laughing Seed for all you veggies out there, Romans on Haywood St for the best Italian Sandwich of your life, 12 bones... of course and Marco's... can't forget Marco's..

Flowers & Friends:


I have to give a shout out to Blossoms at Biltmore Park. Not only do they create the most exquisite floral arrangements on the Earth but they are staffed with some of the fabulous ladies in Asheville. I've never walked out of Blossoms without a smile on my face! Blossoms is the only place for flowers, hands down, no exceptions! Get with the program people!

P.S ( Pay a visit to the Baggie Goose in Biltmore Village! They are to paper, what Blossoms is to Flowers!!!)

CAKE:
Some friends of ours introduced us to Short Street Cakes a few years ago and I tell you....it's a little slice of Heaven disguised in the form of a Banana Pudding Cake!! If you're having a party, all you need is a Short Street Cake, some flowers from Blossoms, and invitations from the Baggie Goose. You'll be set and people will love you.

Books and Brew.. Coffee that is:


Don't get me wrong, Barnes and Noble is great, and I love a big book store but there's something about Malaprop's that you can't get from the Chain Stores. Maybe it's just the fact that Malaprops is located in the heart of downtown so you can have a nice quite read amidst the hustle and bustle of downtown. I also usually prefer paying Malaprops a visit in the winter time. Something about a good book and warm beverage! Always sets me right!

More Food:


It's a grocery store with a delicious buffet that's a quick as a fast food restaurant and usually full of decently attractive men and women, whichever you prefer. I know that a city cannot fully be represented by a grocery store but I feel like Greenlife represents all things "Asheville."


Coming off of this most recent visit, these are things that are currently on my mind as well as places I love to visit while in town. Cant wait for my next visit! Love Ya'll !!!
