Perfect Pairing
Last month, after a day of running errands and assembling deck furniture, I thought I would indulge myself. I bought some fried chicken from Rosewood Market.

Do Good. Eat Well.
A hint of fall is in the air and Laura Huerta and her staff at Lakeside Restaurant are bringing the richness of the season into their fresh and innovative food and drink menus.

Ristorante Paoletti
Four years ago, I reviewed Ristorante Paoletti in these pages. That’s a challenge in itself. It’s been a Main Street Highlands institution for 33 years.

Turn in at the historic 1800s Will Henry Stevens covered bridge, moved here from Warner, New Hampshire, and you have arrived at the beautiful lush and green six-acre campus that holds the …
She Wooden Give Up
When we visited Donna Ysland in 2015, she’d just had her floor lamp epiphany. That experience launched her company Riverlights, now a thriving Western North Carolina enterprise. It has evolved from rustic furnishings and accessories to a more elegant line of contemporary functional art. In case you missed the 2015 article, here are the CliffsNotes: She, her daughter, and …
At the Playhouse
As our 2017 season draws to a close, we would like to thank everyone who has come out to support live theatre in Highlands. This summer has been one for the books! “Cabaret” was a serious musical drama that enthralled and challenged audiences, and (like good theater does) served up food for thought. “A Funny Thing Happened on …
