Things To Do
Morgan Street Food Hall
Measuring 22,000 square feet inside a re-purposed warehouse, Morgan Street Food Hall features 20 culinary concepts under one roof (plus one massive outdoor dining area and bar).
North Carolina State Capitol
After a fire destroyed the original Capitol in 1831, the present-day building was rebuilt in 1840 and stands today as one of the best-preserved examples of a civic building in Greek Revival-style architecture in the nation. Open for self-guided tours Mon.-Sat., with guided tours each Sat. at 11am and 2pm.
Raleigh Beer Garden
The world record-holder for largest selection of draft beer (Guinness made it official in late 2015; the current number is nearly 400 beers on tap), Raleigh Beer Garden is a massive 8,500-square-foot venue with tons of outdoor space. A back garden patio and a rooftop bar are as much of a draw as the beer selection.
Boxcar Bar + Arcade
Named one of the best bars in Raleigh, this bar and arcade is home to hundreds of arcade-style games, including 70+ classic and modern arcade cabinets, over a dozen pinball machines and 175+ console games. They have a full liquor bar with 24 constantly rotating American craft drafts. Whether you’re an 80s baby, a craft beer enthusiast, an avid gamer or you’re simply in search of a chill, affordable local bar – they’ve got you covered.
CAM Raleigh
This striking, non-collecting contemporary art museum, located in downtown Raleigh's rapidly-growing Warehouse District, displays new and emerging work by local and national living artists. Every exhibition is unique, bold, highly memorable and designed to be thought-provoking and transformative.
North Carolina State Farmers Public Market
30,000 square feet for North Carolina farmers to sell fresh produce, plants, and other specialty items produced on local farms. In the Market Shoppes, you can expect to find fresh produce from around the country here as well as meats, cheeses, crafts, bakery items, custom picture framing, a market grill, and N.C. wines. There is a wide variety of specialty shops with old-fashioned candies, N.C. gifts, soaps, and lotions.
North Carolina State University Club
Spend some time wandering around NCSU's campus where David and all 3 of his siblings attended!
