We have some amazing restaurants in our city, and we love highlighting new culinary gems at CLTtoday. But there have also been so many great local restaurants that have closed over the years (Harper’s, we miss you) — and sometimes, we get a little hankering for a meal from a place that no longer exists. Sigh.
This got us thinking about the local restaurants from yesteryear that make our readers feel that same nostalgia — the spots that would be your go-to choices for dining out if they were still around.
City Editor Maria, here. Personally, if I had a time machine, I’d head straight to Eight + Sand on New Bern Street for a breakfast bowl, a twice-baked Nutella croissant + a latte and never look back.
OK, your turn. Which Queen City restaurant or meal would you give anything to try one more time? Let us know and we may feature you in an upcoming newsletter.
