A Guided Tour of Our Staff’s 4 Favorite Cities Across the South

You know we like to find our way around town. We seek out fabled farmers market stalls, slip into kitchens for a heritage recipe, or line up early for the no-res local hot spot. Since you can’t always access your dog-eared magazine pages on the road, let our digital city guides be your source for the best itineraries, restaurants, hotels, and flavor profiles, whatever your destination. Here are four cities we’ve enjoyed getting to know—and we think you will, too. 

Myrtle Beach, South Carolina

When someone says, “the beach,” on the East Coast, chances are it’s Myrtle Beach. With 60 miles of coastline near by, opportunities for outdoor recreation here are endless. To refuel, grab a bite at Big Chill Island House and a pint at Crooked Hammock Brewery. No stay is complete without visiting Broadway at the Beach and Barefoot Landing.

Ruston, Louisiana

Don’t underestimate this college town: Ruston’s annual Louisiana Peach Festival draws large crowds, and the quaint downtown makes a lasting impression. The unsung culinary hero? Bad Wolf BBQ, a food truck renowned for tender brisket and pepper jack boudin.

Raleigh, North Carolina

With 11 recent MICHELIN recognitions, North Carolina’s capital is quickly becoming a culinary centerpiece. From oysters and Champagne at St. Roch to pizza windows with top wine selections and restaurants boom- ing with global influence, Raleigh is never short on flavor. Whether you’re driving up for museums and markets or passing through RDU airport, you’ll find a local spot worth visiting.

San Antonio, Texas

A city with multicultural heritage, San Antonio has a broader range than Texas barbecue. Discover Balkan cuisine at Ladino, sample charcuterie at Cured, or taste authentic Peruvian ceviche at Leche de Tigre. In the Pearl District, stroll through Pullman Market for a hyperlocal shopping and dining experience.
