Wednesday, May 26, 2021 Sitting in the dining room of The Rivers & Rails Tavern in Dillsboro, Craig Szymanski looked out the window and watched a family wander down the row of shops on Front Street. With the sun falling behind the mountains, the hungry group noticed the lights of the newly established tavern. Curiosity getting the best of them, they walked across the railroad tracks and into the restaurant. Checking out the menu, there are surprised looks and jovial banter while discussing what to eat and where to sit. Szymanski and his crew welcomed the family before ducking back into the kitchen to prepare the meals.
