Things To Do
First Watch - Glenwood
We love brunch at First Watch! *Pro Tip: make sure to plan ahead because there's always a long wait.
Beasley's Chicken + Honey
You can never go wrong with chicken and waffles. Dame's in Durham was Jenny's favorite, but here's the next best after Dame's closed down.
City Barbeque and Catering
You can't leave the South without having some good old BBQ, and City BBQ does it right.
Whiskey Kitchen
For our friends who enjoy a few drinks. The food is pretty amazing, too.
FRESH. Local Ice Cream
Our favorite outdoor ice cream spot!
Jubala Coffee
Iced almond latte. The End.
University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
I mean, for obvious reasons. Go, Tarheels!
Duke University Chapel
While you're at it, stop by the Sarah P. Duke Gardens. Amazing architecture in the chapel and beautiful blooms that'll be worth the drive and bad parking.
James B. Hunt Jr. Library
The newest library at NC State, and it is jaw-dropping. (Better parking than Duke is a plus!)
J. Alexander's Restaurant
Our favorite steak house!
Bojangles' Famous Chicken 'n Biscuits
Yes, it's fast food, but you can only get this in the South. Jun argues it's better than KFC. Jenny completely disagrees. Try it yourself and let us know what you think!
Cook Out
This is also a fast food option. Get the tray if you're there for a meal. Get a milkshake if you're just going for a dessert. Jun & Jenny's favorite flavors: oreo and strawberry
Daniel's Restaurant & Catering
It's a bit of a drive, but worth it for the seafood diavlo.
North Carolina Museum of Art
Great spot to spend a quiet afternoon. *Pro Tip: they have a spacious outdoor area that's perfect for photos.
