Thank you so much for the beautiful oak serving board! We can’t wait to use it during the many dinner parties you’ll be invited to this winter. Looking forward to celebrating with you at our wedding!

For a kitchen gift you received before your wedding

How did you know we were dreaming of those crystal champagne flutes?! They’re by far the most beautiful glasses in our home and we’ve never felt fancier. You’ll have to come over soon so we can toast to you! So excited to see you in June.

For drinkware you received before your wedding

We had a blast dancing the night away with you at our wedding. We also can’t thank you enough for the espresso maker. Our mornings have never been brighter! We can’t wait to see you in Austin next month… all caffeinated up!

For a coffee gift you received after your wedding

Where have you been hiding those killer dance moves? Thank you so much for rocking out at our wedding. And we absolutely love our new cast iron skillet and cookbook! We’re already cooking up a storm. Hope to see you soon in New York!

For cookware you received after your wedding

Thank you so much for the beer-brewing kit! We hope to be sipping backyard IPAs with you in no time. We missed you at the wedding, but know you were there in spirit. Can’t wait to see you when we’re back from our honeymoon!

If you are looking for a Thursday/Friday dinner spot, a coffee shop, or somewhere to stroll, here are some spots we like (keeping it in Raleigh so things are close, if you want Durham recs, let us know!!)

Solid dinner spot - reservations needed. Looking for a fancier spot with the same chef? Head to Death & Taxes.

Poole's

Cucciolo Terrazza

Small dinner spot with great menu - the owner also owns the restaurant Jolie next door and there is a speakeasy below both restaurants (Sous Terre).

Crawford and Son

Midwood Smokehouse

The Pit Authentic Barbecue

Sitti

Another spot with lots of veggie / vegan / GF options

Irregardless

Fun cocktail spot right next to the hotel!

Dram & Draught

Vita Vite Downtown

They have 350+ beers on tap. If you don't find something you like here, you probably don't like beer.

Raleigh Beer Garden

One of our favorite Durham breweries opened a location in Raleigh!

Ponysaurus Brewing Co.

Cocktail Bar w/ huge indoor space and outdoor seating (if it isn't hot out)

Watts & Ward

Heirloom

321 Coffee - Downtown Raleigh

Drive Shack

Park outside of NC Museum of Art with both permanent and temporary art installations, environmentally sustainable landscapes, colorful and contemporary gardens, 4.7 miles of recreational trails, and a terraced pond.

Ann and Jim Goodnight Museum Park

North Carolina Museum of Art

Huge permanent farmers market used by both residents and local restaurants sourcing local produce, meat, etc. There is also a breakfast restaurant + plant shop on the property!
