Eat at the number one burger joint in the country, Al’s Burgers in Chapel Hill. GREAT veggie burger options as well! https://www.newsobserver.com/living/article214697275.html

Caffè Driade

Amazing coffee, wine and pastries at this beautiful Cafè. Walk down the back trail and you'll find one of Greta's favorite trails that she loves to drag Clay around on! We love it. If you hang a right and walk to the end you'll find an incredible rose garden.

Rise Carrboro

NOT for the faint of heart. Delicious and on the heavy side. Biscuits and Donuts in the heart of Carrboro.

Gray Squirrel Coffee Company

awesome coffee.

Mint Indian Cuisine

Indian Buffet that Clay & Greta (and Steve) simply cannot resist. Highly recommend!
