Wilmington, NC… listen. If you’re building your 2026 foodie map, go ahead and move this city straight to the top. Seafood that actually tastes like it came out the water an hour ago, hidden gems on every corner, and flavors that do NOT wait for you to catch up. I’ve been this year — and trust me, it deserves a round two, three, and four. Add it to your plans now, thank me later. Follow me at @the_ashley_nez for all the food adventures, weekend escapes, and lifestyle gems. 💛✨ @wilmingtoncoast #w
