What’s your favorite spot downtown? 

The N.C. Farmer’s Market—growing up in Raleigh, the Farmer’s Market was a place I explored as a kid with my parents and later was where I found inspiration for our neighborhood plant & gift shop. It’s fun to visit and shop for your meals or plants for your gardens.

Where do you go when you’re feeling a ‘treat yourself’ day?

Two Roosters ice cream!

What’s your hidden gem in Raleigh?

Raleigh Vintage Clothing Store. 

Tough decision, Char-Grill or Snoopy’s?

Growing up in North Raleigh, having Char-Grill burgers with dad on his old truck’s pickup gate is always going to have a special place in my heart.

What’s your go-to coffee shop and usual order?

Morning Times—their homemade chai is my go-to. 

Where is your favorite place to grab lunch?

Carroll’s Kitchen—they have great, quick bites for every mood you’re in.
