Historic Downtown Fayetteville, NC, is ideal for your next Girl’s Getaway. From farmer’s markets and theaters to boutique shops and eateries, get a taste of all Fayetteville has to offer with our itinerary and enjoy a spectacular, fun-filled time downtown.
MORNING
- Morning: Put on your walking shoes and head out for the day with a cup of coffee from The Coffee Scene Prince Charles. Then, check out the Franklin St. Farmer’s Market, which is open during the spring and summer and sells fresh veggies, fruits, and a variety of local artisan items.
- Late Morning: All that strolling works up an appetite, so head to Hay St. for some comfort food. Circa 1800 is one of many great locations that offer brunch within walking distance. This downtown gem has indoor seating, but be sure to grab a table outside on their café style sidewalk on those sunny days. Whether you order chicken and waffles, a local favorite, or have a craving for shrimp and grits, their menu selection will not disappoint—all dishes are made with local ingredients, as well as local spirits and craft beers. If you want to keep it light, there’s Rude Awakening, where you can order a coffee flight for an extra burst of caffeine and pair it with a homemade croissant or an iced coffee and something sweet.
AFTERNOON

Afternoon: Retail therapy time! Downtown features a variety of shops within walking distance of each other. Locally owned Reverie Goods & Gifts specializes in rising artists and handmade items.

EVENING

For something more low-key, stop by Gaston Brewing Company and taste their award-winning brew from the taproom and some shareable for the table.
- Evening: Cap off the day with a movie at Cameo Art House Theatre, which offers a full selection of beer, wines, and teas that pair perfectly with a bag of popcorn.
