A beautiful spot to spend time on a nice day! HIGHLY recommend visiting if you have the time, it is one of our favorite spots and right next to campus.
Miles of trails through the woods great for walking or running. https://www.alltrails.com/parks/us/north-carolina/duke-forest
Open on Saturday morning from 8am-noon, walkable from all the hotels. Great way to start the day!
Either join for the unofficial tour led by our friend Rob on Saturday at 11am, or try to make a visit at some other time - campus is beautiful this time of year! Easiest parking is the Bryan Center Parking Garage (Link to google maps above).
Usually open to the public during business hours as long as there isn't practice. It's got a cool little museum with the 5 (!) championship trophies. Go Duke!
THE best breakfast sandwiches and donuts. Our absolute favorite. Highly recommend the homemade biscuits and their donuts, obviously. Order online and expect ~1 hour before your food is ready to pick up.
A favorite studying/working spot.
Go-to diner for breakfast. If you've got a big group, expect a wait.
The best take-out/delivery wings and fries. They have great vegan wings too!
Great burgers and fries, downtown close to everything.
Barbecue!! Love this place.
Best pizza in Durham
Very very good ice cream
We miss the days when our friend Cece worked here and would bring home free growlers of cider...
Great brewery with nice outdoor space. Fun fact, they got started at The Cookery (our venue)
Another fun brewery!
Lots of arcade-style games and drinks
Open until 4am, it's that kinda place. Actually good...we think?
Beautiful golf course and an upscale restaurant.
Shops, restaurants, and outdoor space. Go to Parker & Otis!
