What's Up | enjoy a flurry of new restaurants
Spring is arriving and bringing with it some new restaurants in the Cape Fear area, the expansion of some of our favorites, and others moving to new locations. Fill the coming month with visits to some of these exciting eateries:
True Blue Butcher and Barrel in the South Front District is owner/chef Bobby Zimmerman's spinoff of True Blue Butcher and Table. At 110 Greenfield Street, this new venture of Zimmerman's serves "reinterpreted bar food," with nods to Asian street food. Order the kai yang wings and enjoy outstanding craft cocktails.

Rick Binford, Broker/Realtor, shares what he loves about the four bedroom single family home nestled in the shady pines in the Reserve neighborhood at St. James Plantation.
What is unique about this property?
Fenwick Lane is the perfect quiet location within the coveted "Reserve" section of St. James. This home is nestled privately among the pines and there is little traffic. It is also just a short stroll from the beautiful Reserve Clubhouse and overlooking the 18th green. The community firepit at the Reserve Club overlooks the 18th green, and will become your favorite way to enjoy the beautiful Carolina sunsets!
And of course, imagine enjoying a glass of wine relaxing around your own glowing firepit on this home's lovely circular rear patio, too.
Which room do you love the most and what is special about it?
My favorite space is the large vaulted ceiling great room with the cozy fireplace. The spacious open plan design - with dining, lounging, and kitchen ar ...

What's Up | what we love about Cape Fear winters
Mild temperatures: daily high temperatures range from 56°F to 62°F, and rarely fall below 43°F or exceed 74°F. Daily lows are usually from 38°F to 42°F. The temperature from December to February averages in the 50s.
Comfort food and coffee shops are tailor made for cooler weather! Find a hearty Southern-style brunch at The Basics or Dixie Grill. Local coffee stops like Java Dog, Port City Java, and Bespoke, welcome you and your laptop for an afternoon of remote work.
Cape Fear winter is definitely "off season." Tee times, dinner reservations, kayak tours, and pickleball court time are easier to get. Traffic is little lighter, too.
Local beaches loosen dog restrictions. Some that don't all ...
