How to Spend the Holidays in New Bern, North Carolina

"Everything is delicious at Baker's Kitchen, a spot known for its breakfast favorites and baked goods, including cinnamon rolls and homemade breads. We especially loved the signature chicken and waffles, and even bought a jar of the butter syrup to take home. Note, due to the restaurant’s popularity, there tends to be a wait, so plan accordingly." - Trudy Haywood Saunders Trudy Haywood Saunders Trudy Haywood Saunders is a writer and editor based in North Carolina.
