The Groupon was for a a culinary tour, a history tour, and a copy of the book A Guide to Historic Greenville South Carolina by the owner of the tour company, John Nolan.Unfortunate

Excuse me while I brag about my eye doctor.

To be completely honest, I can't believe I haven't made this post yet.When we moved to Greenville, it was about time for me to order new contacts and glasses - which meant, of course, finding a new optometrist. I had to stay "in network" for my insurance company to cover it (::rolls eyes::) and so I

Wild Oats Taproom Simpsonville

I hate that I don't have any pictures of the group dinner we hosted at Wild Oats Taproom in Simpsonville, but at the same time it may be for the best. You see, I'd been to this location when it was Beef O'Brady's and when it was The Zone...so maybe there's a curse on it. Because although my experien

The Upstate's Own Little Vineyard!

Our First Road Warriors Game

Last year was the first year that Greenville had a hockey team since the Grrrowl ceased operations in 2006, but unfortunately we had a packed fall and winter and weren't able to make a game. Still, we'd heard positive things and as soon as we had a free weekend this season I purchased tickets. We ev

Dark Corner Distillery

Greenville's very own aptly named distillery, the Dark Corner Distillery, opened recently on North Main Street - so you know we took the time to check it out as soon as possible. To be honest, I wasn't sure quite what to expect, but I will say this - I wish we had stopped by earlier, rather than 20
