Kinston – Lenoir County, North Carolina
Tucked away near the Eastern coast of North Carolina, Kinston is going through a renaissance. Local banks have been transformed into boutique hotels. A celebrity chef has opened doors to a restaurant in the heart of downtown. Three-story sculptures are now casting shadows over the foundations of old tobacco factories. What was once a sleepy Southern town is now awake, welcoming visitors from far and near.
Kinston has always been at the center of transformation and this new growth is just the latest chapter. Have a farm-to-table meal served to you by a celebrity chef. Cool off by kayak or down a near-vertical waterslide. Visit a local battlefield to learn about history. Visit a local antique store to take some history home with you. When you get tired, a hip motor lodge offers comfortable beds, a custom putt-putt course and a chance to travel back in time – popcorn included.
