april:
My pick for April was honestly a happy lil’ accident after we stumbled into Banter for cocktails after an afternoon in downtown Wilmington. I almost debated wanting to selfishly keep it a secret because it feels like such a cute-hole-in-the-wall gem of a tiny place ✨️ We loved their cocktails and the cozy ambiance so much that we’ve made a few trips back since then!
may:
Phil’s pick for the month of May took us on a trip down to Southport on Friday night so we could finally check out the popular Provisions. As usual during peak season, they were busy, but the service was quick and we somehow lucked out with a sweet corner table right on the water. The views were great and we had no complaints on the food! Definitely worth a try, but when we go back it’ll likely be another visit to Fishy Fishy for us since their patio is dog friendly and their menu seems to have a bigger variety.
p.s. Southport is such a charming town and worth a visit if you haven’t been yet! We love the festive Christmas House (open year-round!), grabbing wine slushies at Silver Coast Winery, hunting for thrifty finds at Northrop Antiques Mall, and browsing the various boutiques and market stores downtown.
Have you tried any fun new-to-you places recently?
