Our favorite dive: we came here on our first date! Get a Christmas dog or one of their artisanal Jello shots.
Nehemiah's favorite Raleigh beer spot.
This farm sells two flavors of homemade soft serve every weekend: you can watch the farm animals while enjoying your cone. A must after an Eno hike!
A North Carolina classic: any location will do, but if you want the authentic Cook Out experience, it should be a drive-thru. Highly recommend getting a tray--and yes, a corn dog IS a side.
Drinks on the roof of the Durham are a quintessential Bull City experience.
Duh.
Probably the only Duke-related activity we'll ever endorse.
The Eno has several trailheads throughout Durham and a nice variety of hikes. The Fews Ford + Cole Mill access points are only a few minutes from our house: we spent nearly every Sunday hiking here in 2020.
Another favorite local hike! We usually do the Company Mill Trail, followed by burgers from MoJoe's in Raleigh.
