1:30 p.m.–River Arts District | Around 150 artists from nearly every medium occupy 20 or so buildings along the French Broad River.
3 p.m.–Brews Cruise | The upside of the brewery walking tour, versus the mobile tour, is you visit more sites–four rather than three–and stay downtown.
7 p.m.–The Admiral | This trendy West Asheville eatery is funky, but the menu is as sophisticated as an officer’s dress blues.
