Are you looking for the perfect “get dressed up” night out with the girls? Then look no further than Greensboro’s one and only Friendly Center. Get 2-4 of your girls together because the first stop is the much-anticipated Cheesecake Factory, at 3124 W. Friendly Ave. Now remember that this a hoppin’ place so only bring some of the girls out because then you can get a table quicker. The Cheesecake Factory is committed to working with suppliers to source the highest quality ingredients, including sustainably grown and harvested produce, and responsibly-raised animal food sources. At the heart of The Cheesecake Factory is a set of guiding principles based on excellence and quality in everything they do. Their commitment to quality in their food and service goes beyond all my expectations.
After about an hour or two at the factory head on over to the newly built West Elm, 3316 W Friendly Ave #105. West Elm is focused on the intersection of modern design, affordability and community. Everything they sell—from sofas and tables to bedding and vases—is said to be made with one goal in mind: to help customers express their personal style at home and in the world. West Elm is a beautiful store just to window shop (because most likely we don’t need furniture) and the store is beautiful. The design team for West Elm has steadily increased the selection of organic, handcrafted, sustainably sourced and Fair-Trade Certified™ products.
Now the last stop of the night Wine Styles, 3326 W Friendly Ave #141. Grab yourself a glass of wine or maybe just a coffee (if you’re under 21). This place offers regular tasting events and also stocks craft beer, coffee, cheese & chocolates. Remember along the way to take picture, make memories and have fun with the girls.
