High Point is the perfect place to get away with your besties. Between the photo ops, delicious eats, and one-of-a-kind shopping, you are sure to make memories with your best girls. Here are six tips to ensure your weekend in High Point is one you will never forget!

1. Eat & Drink like a Local

If you’re looking for unique eats and to-die-for drinks, go where the locals go. You and your girlfriends will be talking about Lulu & Blu’s lobster dip, 98 Asian’s Lemon Drops, and the vibes at Southern Roots for a long, long time. 

The locals know that ambiance matters just as much for a girls’ weekend and our restaurants have just that. Whether you’re sipping mimosas on Magnolia Blue’s rooftop or enjoying tomato bisque soup at the impeccably designed Alexandria’s Bistro 1605, the foods, drinks, and aesthetic will be unmatched.
