3. Get lost in a maze of books and sip champagne at the Battery Park Book Exchange.

Battery Park Book Exchange is a book lover's paradise. Explore the winding staircases and bookshelves to find a new used book to read. Hang out at the bar and listen to live music. Even better, they're dog friendly so you'll be able to pet the cutest dogs.

4. Stop and smell the flowers at the Asheville Botanical Gardens.

The Botanical Gardens of Asheville is a really lovely place and a quiet respite from the happy chaos of the city. It's set on 10-acres and features native plants and habitats. My personal favorite spot was the stream dotted with rocks that can be crossed.

5. Take in the city and mountain views with your loved one at the Sky Bar.

At SkyBar, you can sip cocktails and watch the Appalachian sunset. The panoramic vistas stay in your heart long after your night on the town.

6. Soar above the city in a hot air balloon.

Check this off your bucket list! A hot air balloon will give you stunning views of the mountains, the Pigsah National Forest, and the French Broad River.

7. Take a haunted tour of the one of the oldest cities in the NC mountains.

The Appalachian mountains are the oldest in the country, and bear the residues of Native American spiritualism, the bloody Civil War, and some of history's most dynamic personalities.

8. Visit the largest home in the United States, the famed Biltmore Estate.

I'd certainly be remiss if I didn't mention the Biltmore Estate. You can explore the home and its grounds or visit the winery.
