America's Coolest Small Town 2015

Via Cousin Colby

 

Little Washington, NC

(Population: 9,744)Locals like to say that Washington has a small town feel but big town activities. The waterfront downtown is a major draw, with a renovated theater, wonderful shops, and a wine-tasting scene that surprises some visitors. The Pamlico River is popular with the sailing crowd 10 months of the year, and hunting and fishing are thriving activities in the area. Founded in 1776 and named for General George Washington years before he became our nation's first president, this town wears its history proudly but lightly, sometimes referring to itself as "Little Washington."

If you ever get to Little Washington, NC don't miss Bill's.  You'll have to wait and pay cash, but the chili is the best.

  There are three toppings: chili, mustard, and onions.  No more, no less.  No ketchup.  Get over yourself.  This is Bill’s.  You are going to like it, just order it all the way.
