In Wilmington, North Carolina, the Green House is not just an homage to the restaurant's plant-based menu-it's an entire experience. Attached to the restaurant, a small greenhouse comprised of 18 tower gardens is overseen by in-house horticulturist Michelle Lyon-Heatherly. It was over a lunch date that Green House owner and longtime vegan Anastasia Worrell first spoke of these restaurant plans with LyonHeatherly. Worrell's idea to bring vegan fine dining to Wilmington was thanks to her friend and now business partner Laura Tiblier, a fellow restaurateur who previously opened Ceviche's with her husband, Hunter. Then came Peruvianborn executive chef Mauricio Huarcaya, who now looks to his fine-dining background to bring a "new" kind of ceviche to the Green House. At the merging of these paths, the Green House is finding its identity while sticking to its roots as a restaurant meant to evolve the idea of farm-to-table.
Local diners go for the unexpected, while those from out of town-often members of one of the many film crews regularly shooting productions in the area, or related actors-find comfort in a concept familiar to their West Coast home base. Yet Worrell, a seasoned restaurateur, is still determining if Wilmington is ready.
"Sustainability, being vegan, and part of our bar program being zero-proof is something we believe in. It's a passion project," she says. "Our menu is fluid. We're constantly adjusting based on what's available and what's in season. We're here embracing vegetables as art and putting our farmers on a pedestal."

summerville
In the past year, SUMMERVILLE has seen a surge of dining options as successful local establishments open satellite spots and new concepts look to meet the dining desires of a booming residential market. The charming downtown still maintains its small-town vibe and one of the best farmers markets in the area, and the Nexton development adds value with a range from fast-casual concepts to fine dining. But what we love most about the town known as the birth place of sweet tea remains the same: the gorgeous azaleas that inspire the Flowertown Festival each spring.
kiawah & scabrook islands
A lot has changed since KIAWAH ISLAND Golf Resort opened with oceanfront rooms for less than $50 a night. Itâs now home to one of the best golf courses in the world, not to mention the five-star Sanctuary hotel. The island had previously been used for cattle ranching and cotton and indigo farming before it was passed through the hands of prominent Charleston families like the Gibbeses and Vanderhorsts, and later saw the skyrocket of development in the mid-1970s with the emergence of a residential resort community. SEABROOK, to the north, is a private community, but the Bohicket Marina and Seabrook Equestrian Center are open to the public, along with barely touched beaches. Freshfields Village is the entry point to these sea islands, and a destination in its own right.
johns & Wadmalaw islands
JOHNS ISLAND has seen a proliferation of development in housing and new businesses over the past few years, making it one of the most sought-after places to live in the Charleston area. With suburbs sprawling over the sea island, as you make your way east to WADMALAW ISLAND, there still exist pockets of farms that produce extraordinary produce for restaurants and residents, a vibrant Gullah Geechee community, waterways in every direction, and a Spanish moss paradise of live oak trees, including the Angel Oak tree, the largest east of the Mississippi. At the end of Maybank Highway, the inquisitive traveler is rewarded by the tiny circa-1784 town of Rockville, the entirety of which is on the National Register of Historic Places. Every August, Rockvilleâs Sea Island Yacht Club hosts the annual Rockville Regatta.
james island
JAMES ISLAND has quickly become one of the most desirable places to live in the Charleston area, with its ideal location between downtown and Folly Beach and relatively quick access to both. Tucked-away neighborhoods, marsh access, and great schools are additional benefitsâand recently, dining has taken off with multiple new restaurants and second locations popping up, to the delight of locals. However, donât overlook the many reliable, unsung favorites that have been serving up great food and drink from the start.
west ashley
Just across the river from downtown Charleston sits the oldest suburb off the peninsula, WEST ASHLEY. Bordered by the Ashley River to the north and the Stono River to the south, this eclectic suburbia is criss-crossed with waterways and tributaries and composed of neighborhoods that fan westward, including a mix of grand old estates and postwar brick bungalows. Along the Ashley River, youâll make your way toward Charles Towne Landing, where the Carolina colony was first founded in 1670. And out Highway 61 youâll find some of Charlestonâs most famous historic properties, among them Drayton Hall and Middleton Place, where you can learn about the areaâs troubled past.
daniel island
DANIEL ISLAND is not exactly a starter-home kind of place, but itâs increasingly more than a golf club community, with its many family-friendly green spaces and a downtown area with plenty of restaurants in close proximity. Itâs a short drive to either Mount Pleasant or North Charleston dining and shopping, and itâs also home to Credit One Stadium, host to its namesake womenâs tennis tournament and one of Charlestonâs best venues for open-air concerts. The development of Waterfront Park with its gorgeous views, along with public docks and a water ferry service, has made the island even more accessible to visitors and nonresidents.
sullivan's island & isle of palms
The barrier islands east of Charleston offer distinct experiences unified by a wide stretch of world-class beaches. SULLIVANâS ISLAND, with its historic mansions and picturesque church, has an old-guard feel but remains casual and accessible to visitors. From taking in layers of local history at Fort Moultrie to posting up at one of the many Middle Street restaurants, thereâs plenty to do when youâve had your fill of the sand. For surfing, water sports, and a more resortlike feel, head north to ISLE OF PALMS for a change of pace. Known as IOP to locals, the island is home to a large seaside resort, plentiful vacation rentals, and miles of beachfront. In search of solitude? Goat Island and Dewees Island offer truly off-the-beaten path experiences.
mount pleasant
In recent decades, MOUNT PLEASANT has attracted a large number of newcomers to its neighborhoods, which vary from IâOnâs new urbanist echoes of Charleston architecture to the quaint, walkable Old Village with its harbor front properties. Thereâs also a seafood, paddleboard, and boaterâs paradise in Shem Creek; the beautiful and eyeopening grounds of Boone Hall Plantation; and the USS Yorktown, a World War II-era aircraft carrier. With its casual gourmet restaurants and quick access to some of Charlestonâs best beaches, itâs no surprise that Mount Pleasant has seen rapid growth, as well as a steady stream of daytime visitors.
downtown charleston
The French Quarter and South of Broad neighborhoods often steal the spotlight when people think of DOWNTOWN CHARLESTON. However, the steady revitalization north of Calhoun Street has drawn people farther and farther up the peninsula, taking over Elliotborough and Cannonborough and transforming Wagener Terrace into the next âitâ spot. King Street serves as the main artery, much like in deeper downtown, leading foot and auto traffic to a new generation of staple spots for grabbing a bevvie or a bite. Put on your walking shoesâor better yet, get a bikeâ and prepare to explore and appreciate all the city has to offer.
NEXT LEVEL 'CUE
Not far from Charleston, you can easily find your way to Eastern and Western Carolina styles of barbecue. But here? Barbecue is transcending boundaries. The cityâs pitmasters are defining their own style, complete with pulled whole hog, Texas-style brisket, dry-spiced ribs, and hot guts sausagesâplus a dash of Puerto Rican heritage and Chinese influences to season the mix. Grab a tray and come hungry: These Charleston pitmasters are ready to load your plate with their distinct styles of âcue.
