3. Downtown Hickory

DOWNTOWN.   Composed of historic storefronts, open terraces, mature trees, and planting beds, this revitalized district capitalizes on Hickory's original retail center. Locally-owned shops and restaurants provide unique clothing, accessories, gifts, necessary merchandise, and terrific food and ambience. Jewelry, arts, crafts, CDs, wines, and sporting goods hint at the wide selection, and there's even a movie theater where you can catch second-run films for only $1.50. In addition, Union Square hosts many of the city's top festivals throughout the year.   (© 10Best)
