​Dear Travel Friend,

It's been a few years since I traveled to Birmingham, but I have good friends who live there and they are always asking when I am coming back! If you are seeking an "authentic" Alabama experience filled with excellent restaurants, charming neighborhoods and genuinely friendly locals, then add Birmingham, Alabama to your next itinerary.    ​
​
Sincerely, 
​Erik
