Featuring Dinner at Chef and The Farmer!

You’ve watched Chef Vivian Howard on the PBS show A Chef’s Life.  You’ve heard about her world-famous restaurant, the Chef and the Farmer, a center point for a revitalized downtown Kinston with interesting galleries, stores, and pubs to visit.

Join the NCModernist crew as we travel to Kinston on our air-conditioned, wifi-equipped luxury bus! You’ll experience great food and the fun company of fellow Modernist travelers interested in art, architecture, and a wonderful dinner at the famed Chef and the Farmer.

Drop the kids with the sitter and get out for date night!
