Closing
Local bakery The Humble Bee Shoppe will close its doors soon. Owner Brittany took to Instagram to share that she’ll be moving to NYC to become a pastry chef. In the meantime, she’ll post a calendar of pop-ups and hours the shop is open before announcing a closing date.
Real Estate
$5.4 million. That’s how much a UNCSA affiliate paid for the building at 411 W. Fourth St. downtown. While there isn’t any word out yet on how UNCSA might use the building, it is located next to the school’s 77,500-sqft Stevens performing arts center. (Winston-Salem Journal)

The biggest Asian food festival in the US is headed to Winston-Salem. Saturday, May 17-Sunday, May 18, the Dream Asia Festival will take place at the Winston-Salem Fairgrounds with 70+ Asian food vendors, family-friendly activities, and performances. Purchase tickets.

Have you tried Camel City Supper Club yet? June’s potluck event reminds me of Martin Short’s character from “Only Murders in the Building” — the theme is dippables. If you want to join, simply bring a dish (if you can dip it, bring it) and a chair or blanket.
