Looking for your next night out? These new spots are just a short drive from Lewisville and Clemmons — the perfect excuse to explore something fresh close to home.

Winston-Salem’s culinary scene is thriving with the debut of several exciting new eateries, each adding distinct flavors and energy to the city.

Pleasants Provisions has opened in the West End at 830 W. Fourth Street, offering a chef-inspired mix of Southeast Asian dishes and a specialty market filled with local groceries.

Chef Matt Pleasants draws from his travels in Vietnam and Thailand, serving inventive menu items like beef katsu curry and Thai chicken laab.

Currently in its soft opening, the restaurant plans to broaden its offerings soon.

Downtown, Istanbul Gyro & Burger brings authentic Turkish cuisine to 216 W. Fourth Street.

Family run, it features tender chicken and lamb doner, fresh salads, burgers, and classic Turkish desserts, proudly sharing time-honored recipes with the city.

U Bowl has officially opened at 5257 Robinhood Village Drive, taking over the former China Dragon location in the Robinhood Village shopping center. The fast-casual concept centers around fully customizable Asian bowls, allowing guests to choose their base, protein, vegetables and sauces for a made-to-order meal.

These new restaurant openings showcase Winston-Salem’s growing diversity and culinary spirit.

With roots in Pittsburgh, Mzarek’s background in business, advocacy, and child development education fuels her commitment to addressing unmet needs across Forsyth County.

Her goals as a commissioner center on collaborative solutions, balancing fiscal responsibility with compassion, and strengthening essential county services like public safety, education, and parks. She supports school choice, low taxes and a strong economy.

Mzarek values the diversity and connections within local communities, highlighting Forsyth’s parks and thriving small businesses as cherished assets that support residents and children.

She approaches every challenge—and every resident—with empathy, resilience, and a drive to foster independence and dignity for all.

The Lewisville–Clemmons real estate market is beginning 2026 with a noticeable shift — not dramatic, not alarming — just different than the fast-paced environment we saw over the past couple of years.

Closed sales were down 36.4% compared to last January. Median home prices adjusted slightly, down 7.2% to $405,250. Inventory has increased by 24.3%, and homes are now averaging 64 days on the market.

At first glance, those numbers may sound significant. But context matters.

Homes are still selling at an average of 98.9% of list price. Buyers are still active. And well-prepared homes are still moving.

What’s changed is the pace.

Buyers are taking a little more time. They have more options to compare. Negotiations are becoming more thoughtful rather than rushed. For many families, this actually creates a healthier, more balanced environment.

For sellers, this means strategy matters more than it did during the height of the frenzy. Pricing accurately, preparing properly, and understanding local trends can make a meaningful difference in outcome.

For buyers, it may feel like there’s finally a little breathing room — more inventory, fewer bidding wars, and opportunities to make confident decisions.

Markets evolve. That’s normal. What matters most is understanding what the shift means for your specific situation and timing.

If you’re wondering how these shifts may affect your home’s value — or you’re considering a move in 2026 — now is a smart time to get clear on your options. Even small changes in pricing strategy or timing can make a meaningful difference in today’s market.

Tyler Reddick captured a historic win at the 2026 Daytona 500, delivering the first-ever triumph for 23XI Racing, led by NBA icon Michael Jordan.

The race was a wild showcase, with an unprecedented 25 drivers taking their turn at the front.

Reddick only led the crucial final lap, demonstrating exceptional timing and composure to break a 38-race winless streak and claim his ninth Cup Series victory.

A chaotic, last-lap crash reshuffled the lead, but Reddick darted through the mayhem, overtaking Chase Elliott as the checkered flag approached.

For Michael Jordan and co-owner Denny Hamlin, the victory offered redemption after a tough 2025 season shadowed by Reddick’s personal challenges.

It was a challenging Daytona 500 for Lewisville’s Dillon brothers. Ty Dillon (No. 10) led the pair, finishing 20th, with former champion Austin Dillon (No. 3) close behind in 24th. Although both showed promise in practice, they were unable to break into the top 10 during the race’s chaotic final laps.

This unforgettable finish cements 23XI Racing’s place in NASCAR and adds new glory to Jordan’s legendary career.
