The Best Cities in the U.S. Readers’ Choice Awards

Want to get in on a secret? Plan a trip to Greenville now and you might see it just on the cusp of stardom. The food lover’s town has a farm-to-table scene that continues to rise in the ranks (try Jianna for Italian and freshly shucked oysters, and Vault & Vator, the city’s first speakeasy, for a strong, well-crafted cocktail)—not to mention its rapid rise as a destination for craft beer-lovers.

With a dynamic mix of urban center paired with abundant natural resources, walk off your food coma in 32-acre Falls Park, which runs through the middle of town, or along the Swamp Rabbit bike trail—now at a whopping 22 miles and counting.
