Iconic Raleigh steak restaurant with a wide selection of wines from their cellar.
Cool brewery with delicious pizza (especially the gluten free!)
Cute cocktail bar
Where you'll likely find the happy couple on a Friday night.
Wine on tap? Say less.
Where Erick is a regular, watching sports and eating Cajun Chicken Pasta.
I've lost count of the amount of times we've brunched here.
Dilly is famous here.
We went here to celebrate closing on our house - they have lots of GF options!
Judy's fave spot for coffee and books.
You know your girl loves a vino.
We are big fans of the Hillbilly Queso.
Good Asian food - tell Chris (the owner) that we sent you!
Probably one of the best smash burgers in town.
9/10 times when Erick asks "where should we go for dinner?" Judy will say Tazza. They have great GF options and it's cute.
Erick's family's restaurants - there are two locations. This is the party spot. Let them know we sent you and you're here for the wedding!
We welcomed 2026 in this bar.
One of the first places Judy ever went in Raleigh, in 2020.. before she even knew Erick existed!
GET THE CHICKEN! Seriously... don't walk, run.
Judy likes Taserface. Erick likes Carne Asada and Chorizo. We both like margs.
Sit on the patio for views of Raleigh. Great at sunset.
In case you wanna party.
Erick loves to celebrate his birthday (or Tuesday) here.
A breaky spot that always does the job.
Gorgeous spot for a walk!
Where Judy likes to work out.
Lovely spot for eating, drinking and shopping. Hotels are also nice in this area.
The mall - in case you need to do some last minute shopping.
NC State Gardens if you want to see some plants and get some sunshine.
We go to Core Power Yoga in this area - but we also frequent the restaurants, bars and shops.
Yummy sushi - a good date night spot.
It has wine in the title... But also just a good staple for a girls night out.
Famous for having 350+ beers on tap. Also one of the first bars we took Dilly to as a baby.
Great for lunch when everyone feels like a different food.
Probably our most visited brewery in Raleigh.
