Exploring: Greenville, South Carolina

Favorite Sushi Place: Sushi Koji

Authentic, Japanese sushi and cuisine, Sushi Koji also serves some of the freshest tasting sushi I've ever had. The atmosphere is amazing as well. You can sit at the sushi bar (pictured above) or they have booths lining the wall with windows looking onto the street. 



My favorite sushi roll to get here is the "Hot Tonight" (spicy salmon, cream cheese, jalepeno and deep-fried spicy tuna on top)


Favorite Restaurant: Lazy Goat


This is mine and Charles' all-time favorite place to eat. The food is delicious, decently priced and the view can't be beat from the patio or from indoors. 



This is our favorite appetizer there: Pimento Spread with grilled Ciabatta bread for only $4 at lunch. I usually get the grilled veggie wrap for $5 to go along with it.

Favorite Activity: Walking downtown


Ask anyone who used to live in Greenville what they miss the most, and they will tell you that it's downtown.


Most of the restaurants off the sidewalk have alfresco dining and on nice evenings (especially weekends) every table is filled.


It's such a beautiful downtown and a lot of late weekend nights they actually close off main street to cars and post a couple police cars and officers down the length of main street to keep everyone safe and secure. They have live concerts on Friday nights and a huge Farmer's Market on Saturday mornings.


Favorite Store: Belk's


It might seem weird to have a department store as my favorite store, but they always clearance their last season's name brand shoes at 70% off so I'm always excited to find great deals there...like this pair of Madden Girl pumps for $15!


If you are from Greenville and have never tried any of these places, I highly recommend you do. If you are not, and are looking for a quiet place to go on vacation and relax...I can't think of a better town to visit.
