36 Hours in Durham
A traveler's guide to the city’s most delicious, adventurous and fascinating must-see destinations, an itinerary by The New York Times. — “The evolution of Durham from a faded tobacco town to a diverse cultural and culinary destination has been years in the making. But the ongoing development of this central North Carolina city seems to have reached a new stage. The resurgent downtown area — long a transitional neighborhood with pockets of progress — is now brimming with new restaurants, boutiques, bars and breweries.”
