ShareTweet On Monday, October 22, a team of Avant Greensboro writers & friends visited downtown Greensboro’s food trucks, which are allowed to operate four trucks at a time on Commerce Place.

He touched on a number of things from his bands (Casual Curious, Hidden Lake Park, Ruler, and Mutant League), solo work, and his upcoming move to Charlottesville.

ShareTweetTuesday night I arrived at Glenwood Coffee and Books to an open garage door with a few people drinking beers as the rains moved in.

Don Japanese Ishiyaki & Ramen was the one exception and the last establishment to mark off my list. The restaurant’s exterior is very modern and “expensive” to the eyes, but once

ShareTweetWith the unseasonably warm temperatures we’ve been seeing lately, frozen yogurt definitely isn’t out of the question — personally I think any weather is great for froyo. Yoforia is a regional chain with locations in North Carolina and Georgia that has been open in Greensboro since this past July. They also have an international location

ShareTweetBeing somewhat of a chili fanatic, I was more than glad to grab lunch with Keith at one of downtown Greensboro’s veteran restaurants, Cincy’s Downtown. While Olivia has never been to Cincinnati — I have been once when my airplane had a connection flight that was stranded for 6 hours in the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International

ShareTweetBánh mì sandwiches were first introduced into my diet when I was visiting a friend in New York City. Low on cash my friend insisted I go try these curious little Vietnamese sandwiches. After returning to Greensboro I did much research to find my new favorite meal. All signs (reviews) pointed to High Point Road’s
