Secondhand Spots
Truly such a gem of a spot in Greensboro! They have so much stuff and I could honestly be in there for hours looking at everything. If you go back sure you check the tags because they will reduce items the longer they are in store!
Two locations- on...
The Red Collection, Fine Consigned Furniture, Artwork, Accessories ...
Conveniently when you finish up at The Red Collection on Mill St, you can walk across the street and hit up The Bargain Box! It’s been a staple in there area for a long time. I actually remember my mom taking me when I was a kid and it used to be dow...
Bargain Box of Junior League
Antique Marketplace is definitely worth your time but make sure you give yourself plenty of it because it is huge!
Antique Market Place
Hannah’s Bridge is such a good spot in Greensboro that I don’t hear a ton of people talk about! My personal favorite thing to look for there is jewelry because I’ve gotten some great finds but they have lots of clothes, housewares, and furniture too!
Hannah's Bridge Thrift Boutique
There are actually 3 of these in Greensboro! Two are located on battleground and the other is located on Bridford Pkwy. They can be a little higher but they have a system where different color tags are a different percentage off on certain days! Defi...
Freedom House Thrift Stores in Greensboro, NC | Shop. Donate. ...
This is a cute little place that has some great finds! I only recently heard about it and we went and got some really cute dishes for $5! I can’t wait to go back soon!
Tabitha's Closet
Golden Antiques and Treasures is a spot you need to dedicate a lot of time to because there are so many booths but they have some really great curated pieces and I love going in there and taking my time!

Farmer’s Markets
Such a great farmers market with so many options, a restaurant, and all the booths you can imagine!
Piedmont Triad Farmers Market
This is pretty close to my house so it's very convenient for me. I love the flowers from there as well as the salsa from Coltrane Farms!
The Corner Farmers Market
Restaurants
My husband frequent this place almost once a week! The food is so good, and they have $2.50 tacos on Tuesdays and Thursdays!
Taqueria El Azteca & Taco Truck - Greensboro, NC
This is another one of me and my husbands favorite places to eat! The brisket fries are next level and they always have good beer on draft!
Old Town Draught House Grill - Greensboro, NC
This is where we got our bbq we served at our wedding, and for good reason! We go here frequently and it is such a Greensboro staple!
Stamey’s Barbecue
Coffee☕️
My favorite coffee shop in Greensboro, hands down. The ingredients are high quality and the drinks are delicious! Staff is super friendly as well making it a perfect "work from home" spot.
Home Grounds
Arrowhead is a great spot and I heard they did a recent remodel 🤭 I can’t wait to go check them out! In my opinion they have some of the best pastries of coffee shops in Greensboro as well so definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area!
Arrowhead Coffee
Beaches
This beach offers the perfect blend of local/touristy! It’s not super overdone but there is still plenty to do and Southport is just a short drive away!
Oak Island, NC
Wrightsville Beach is a boujee beach but I still love it! Things can tend to be a little more expensive but the vibes are perfect in my opinion!
