Local Love – Part 3

We love supporting our neighborhood businesses and getting to know the awesome people behind them! So far, we’ve visited twelve local treasures from around our Nest Realty locations…this week we visit six more!

DELICIOSO

Executive chef and owner Sam Cahoon blows us away with his take on Latin comfort food. The recently opened Savorez in downtown Wilmington, NC, is full of bright and bold flavors. The traditional Latin American cuisine is created with fresh, local ingredients. Our favorites were the caliente tuna tacos and the sweet potato goat cheese guacamole.

FULL MOON RISING

By now, we’ve all heard about stand up paddle boarding. So when you’re ready to take it to the next level try a Full Moon paddle with Aloha Paddle Sports on Lake Norman in Cornelius, NC. Beginning at dusk, you’ll hit the water with a SUP board illuminated with LED lights, LED paddles, and a headlamp to illuminate your guided night excursion.

KANPAI!

Forget that nonsense ramen you ate in college and treat your tastebuds to the real deal, traditional Japanese ramen at Dashi Ramen in downtown Durham, NC. At street level, you’ll find the ramen shop, where you can grab a seat in the dining room or open kitchen to devour the incredibly satisfying and beautiful ramen noodle bowls. Upstairs, in the Izakaya (Japanese pub), the lights are a bit dimmer, perfect for a date night or late night bite.

ALL ABOARD

Is it a toy store with books, or a bookstore with toys? It’s both! The Cambria Toy Station & Whistle Stop Books has something special for everyone. Located in the historic Cambria Train Depot in Christiansburg, VA, this circa 1867 shop is filled with goodies aimed at expanding your imagination and finding your inner magic. All aboard the imagination express!

SUNDAY SOUNDS

On the first and third Sunday of the month, April through September, we love taking the whole family to the Concerts on the Green at Davidson’s Village Green in Davidson, NC. Set up in front of the lovely public library, these free concerts are the perfect ending to a summer weekend. Pack a picnic, a tasty beverage, and a comfy chair to soak in the sounds.
