Want to start this week off by saying THANK YOU!
It’s crazy, but we’re about to be a community of 10,000 weekly readers. Hard to believe because we sent our first issue to 20 of you back in February.
From longtime readers to first-time scrollers, we’re grateful you’re here finding things to do in Greensboro. We’ll continue building this guide together and work with community sponsors to make it even better. More to come!
Eat. Shop. Move.
Celebrate how you will this week. You can find options with potluck dinners, friendsgivings, Thanksgiving day races, Black Friday alternatives, and Small Business Saturday happenings. What are your plans?

What did you think of today's Gate City Guide?
We had a chance to preview Cooper Hawk’s on Saturday evening. Such a unique spot! Combines a wine shop, tasting room, and restaurant all under one roof, with a vibe that’s both classy and comfortable.
Wine lovers, every bottle is private label. And even if you’re not an aficianado, the knowledgeable staff can help guide you to the perfect choice. Plus, the restaurant food is just as impressive as the wine. Don’t miss their pretzel bread!
Reservations will be hard to find today, but you’ll want book a table ASAP to experience the unique concept.
Will you try Cooper's Hawk?
Grateful for you! 🦃
