It&#8217;s also the largest private residence in the United States.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt\"><strong><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000\">The Mothlight<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 14pt;color: #000000\">There\u2019s something to listen to every night of the week in Asheville, between its array of nightclubs, seasonal festivals, and impromptu open air performances, whether from touring big-name bands or local traditional musicians. But for a guaranteed performance, check out the live music at The Mothlight.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt\"><strong><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000\">C\u00farate<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 14pt;color: #000000\">A rich food scene awaits the hungry traveler, with chefs from around the world \u2014 Spain, India, even Brooklyn \u2014 having opened restaurants in this new culinary capital. (One of Asheville&#8217;s best-loved restaurants is the Spanish tapas bar, C\u00farate.) But don\u2019t neglect to sample the local cuisine, either. Biscuits, barbeque, and mountain trout are all popular here.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt\"><strong><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000\">Bhramari Brewing Company<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 14pt;color: #000000\">Asheville has some of the most breweries per capita in the United States, with about 100 types of local brews to sample. Get started with an individual brewery tour, or a beer-themed tour of the city\u2019s offerings. We love Bhramari Brewhouse&#8217;s taproom deck, which is perfect for sampling craft beer and (of course) live music.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt\"><strong><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000\">City Hall<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 14pt;color: #000000\">A construction slowdown during and after the Great Depression essentially froze Asheville\u2019s Art Deco downtown in time, much to residents\u2019 and visitors\u2019 lasting gratitude. City Hall and the S&amp;W Cafeteria building are two prominent examples of the city&#8217;s famous architecture.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt\"><strong><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000\">Thomas Wolfe House<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 14pt;color: #000000\">Before dying at age 37 of tuberculosis, Asheville native Thomas Wolfe experienced a meteoric rise with the publication of his 1929 bestselling first novel, Look Homeward, Angel, set in a fictionalized version of his family home, now open to the public.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt\"><strong><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000\">Blue Ridge Parkway<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 14pt;color: #000000\">One of the country\u2019s most famous \u2014 and most beautiful \u2014 roads, the Blue Ridge Parkway runs 469 miles across the top of the Appalachian Mountains. A park as well as a road, it links Great Smoky Mountains National Park in the south to Shenandoah National Park in the north.
