Asheville in the fall
My wife and I are heading down to AVL in a couple weekends. We were planning on grabbing a sandwich on the go and doing a short-ish hike (5-6 miles) along the Blue Ridge Parkway, and then spending the rest of the weekend drinking good beer and trying out the food. Do folks have any suggestions? The only thing we've locked in is hotel (staying in downtown Asheville) and dinner on Saturday night (we are going to try out The Admiral). I haven't been here in nearly 20 years (when I was a kid), so don't really have a great idea of what I should plan on. Thanks in advance for any tips!

We will be there the first weekend in November. BamaVol Jr.#3 is getting married at Highland Brewery. We try to hit a couple breweries every visit. The rehearsal dinner is at Asheville Brewing Co.
Have fun. I always do.
