Are you looking for some fun nightlife? I am one who does enjoy her couch and being cozy with a blanket, but sometimes a night out on the town can really be a great one. Throughout the U.S., there are many different cities that offer some of the best and most unique nightlife experiences. Not only can you have fun in New York City, Las Vegas, or Los Angeles, but there are some other cities that you can enjoy as well. One of which might not be too far away and in our North Carolina backyard.

Japji Travel is offering up its list of the best cities that are amazing for nightlife opportunities. Surprisingly, one unexpected North Carolina mountain town made the list. Asheville, North Carolina is named one of the most amazing cities for nightlife in the U.S. Asheville is near the Blue Ridge Mountains and offers an atmosphere with some of the best craft beers and breweries to offer. Their nightlife is unique and different compared to larger cities, but they are offering up an artsy and electric vibe even in their nightlife.

The list is a total of ten, so you can see a few different options. If you are looking for a few different nightlife cities and want to find those hidden gems, then check out the full list here of the top 10.

Surprising North Carolina City Ranks As Best Place For Singles In The State

It’s a tough world to be single in (speaking from experience). But how does North Carolina rank for singles compared to other places in the US? Not that great in all honestly. Our friends at WalletHub conducted a study of the Best & Worst Cities For Singles. And the results were, well, interesting. The best city in North Carolina for singles? Well, it wasn’t Raleigh and it wasn’t Charlotte. (Good now I don’t feel so bad about myself!)

An interesting statistic that WalletHub shared with us is that nearly 47% of all U.S. adults are unmarried. It sure doesn’t feel that way! But only 42% of those single adults are interested in a relationship or casual dating right now. Now it’s making a little more sense. To conduct this study WalletHub compared more than 180 U.S. cities across 35 key indicators of dating-friendliness. So what type of data tells us how a city fares for singles? For this study, WalletHub used data including “the share of the population that is single”,  “the number of online dating opportunities”, and “the average price for a two-person meal”.

South Carolina actually came out better than North Carolina on this list, with the only two SC cities included topping every North Carolina one. And the North Carolina city that’s the best for singles? I never would have guessed. Keep reading to see the top 10 as well as where each Carolina city ranked. You can read the full WalletHub study here.
