[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It sounds like maybe you want nice with a patina of quaint but not really hipster?[/quote]

You know I've never thought of it like that - perhaps that is what I'm looking for. Not sure if there is a word for that though.

[quote=Anonymous]I would caution not to stray too far from the beaten path. You'd be surprised how 'Southern' most of NC really is... definitely no hipster vibe there.[/quote]

Thanks for the warning.

[quote=Anonymous]I was going to say Lenox or Northhampton MA.  Or there's a place in Vermont...I always get the towns in Vermont mixed up, though.  
But real hipster places definitely don't have Chipotle or Starbucks.  They have fancy coffee places named after a guy that lives there that bakes vegan scones and grinds and roasts his own coffee on site.  They wouldn't be caught dead drinking starbucks. 
If you just want to make sure you can eat a taco and a latte, that's easy.  [/quote]

Thanks for the tips! I like the simple things in life and since this will be a working vacation, having my staples around will help me work. So yes, not ardent hipster or fancy restaurants every day, just the occasional dinner.

[quote=Anonymous]I feel like this is a bet and the OP wants DCUM to guess the right city. Like she is arguing with a friend that Portland is totally not hipster but if DCUM says it is...[/quote]

Just looking to outsource some vacation help, these tips have been gold!

[b]Thank you from the OP! To address some common notes, this is a business vacation and I will be working from wherever I go. Since it'll be 1-2 weeks I want to feel comfortable and be able to grocery shop / eat at my local haunts as well as exploring more interesting dining options. Plus I'm cheap when it comes to eating out.[/b] [/quote]
