GREENVILLE – Greenville has made yet another prestigious list — this time the New York Times’ “52 Places to Go in 2023, the city’s second appearance since it was first selected five years ago.
Greenville joins Charleston as the only two South Carolina cities and is in the company of cities across the globe like London; Odense, Denmark; Kerala, India; and Accra, Ghana. The list included 11 places within the U.S.
Greenville was recognized as a top spot for the city’s food scene, noted for the some 200 restaurants within the downtown area.
“Visitors may come for the access to outdoor adventures, but they’ll most likely leave having been introduced to flavors from around the world,” the article said.
Among the Greenville restaurants highlighted were Soby’s, Mr. Crisp, Lewis Barbecue, Keipi, Aryana and Califas.
The article also gave a nod to popular Greenville food events — euphoria and Fall for Greenville — for helping establish a food-loving culture.
The write-up quoted Southern Living’s editor in chief, Sid Evans.
“The real heartbeat of Greenville is a creative and diverse food community that keeps reinventing itself,” Evans said. “The food here is adventurous, and the chefs have embraced the global influences shaping the modern South.”
