Blair & David
Things To Do
Pizzeria Toro
If you find yourself in downtown Durham after the welcome drinks on Saturday afternoon looking for some epic pizza, you can't miss this spot.
Jordan Lake - Kayak/SUP Rental
Blair grew up visiting Jordan Lake throughout her childhood and has since taken David here on many kayaking trips over the years. Whether you're looking for a lovely boat day on this lake, a quick hike, or a more adventurous kayaking trip, this state recreation area has it all.
North Carolina Museum of Art
This art museum has something for everyone - a fabulous Rodin collection, great cafe, or amazing sculpture garden. Take advantage of North Carolina's beautiful Spring weather in one of our favorite spots.
Maple View Farm Ice Cream
Best ice cream in the Triangle - no joke! Sitting in the rocking chairs of this quaint spot during sunset overlooking the farms nearby is a great way to end the day in our opinion
Sarah P. Duke Gardens
No better way to catch NC spring than walking around the Duke gardens!
Kingfisher - Cocktail Bar
One of our 2 favorite cocktails bars in the Triangle. Alley 26 - also a great spot - is right across the street
Poole's
Elevated and classic southern food. You can't go wrong!
Merritt's Grill
Blair's favorite lunch spot in Chapel Hill. The double BLT is the way to go, but they have a variety of other items for folks that don't eat pork.
Sunrise Biscuit Kitchen
Best biscuits in the area! No contest
The Fiction Kitchen
Adorable vegan/vegetarian spot in downtown Raleigh!
Whiskey Kitchen
Perfect for an old fashioned night cap in Downtown Raleigh or a group dinner.
Oakleaf
Beautiful and upscale dining option for anyone looking for a great American new restaurant during their stay. Bonus: it is within walking distance of the Hampton Inn & Suites where we have a room block for guests
Trophy Brewing & Pizza
Great pizza! Amazing beer! We stop here at least once per visit when in NC
American Tobacco Trail
If you're looking for a low key way to get outside and walk, run, or ride your bike all over the Triangle, we can't recommend this spot enough
Caffè Driade
Blair's favorite coffee shop in Chapel Hill! Both David and Blair love to get a couple of lattes and take advantage of their outdoor patio for a nice afternoon
Cocoa Cinnamon
Best coffee shop in Durham! This latina/women led cafe has 3 locations, but this one is our favorite
Benchwarmers Bagels
Blair's favorite bagels ever are here. For the folks from NY/NJ traveling in to town for the wedding, don't knock it till you try it :)
