I saw this while reading the NYTimes today. Its one of the New York Times 36 hour travel guides. These guides are great for getting the gist of what to do when visiting a city. I know that I just published a blog about Biltmore a few days ago but I though this article was cool enough to point out on its own. I've actually only been to Biltmore and not to the city of Asheville itself. I hear good things though. Here's an excerpt of what the New York Times had to say:
Asheville is an Appalachian Shangri-La. This year-round resort town, tucked between the Blue Ridge and Smoky Mountains, draws a funky mix of New Agers, fleece-clad mountain bikers, antiques lovers and old-time farmers. And what's there not to like? Charming yet surprisingly cosmopolitan for a town of about 73,000, Asheville has a Southern appeal all its own. There are lazy cafes and buzzing bistros, Art Deco skyscrapers and arcades reminiscent of Paris, kayaking and biodiesel cooperatives and one of the world's largest private homes — the Biltmore Estate, a French Renaissance-style mansion with 250 rooms. No wonder so many locals first
started out as tourists.
