Go across the street from the Raleigh Marriott Crabtree Valley to the mall, which has coffee, restaurants, bars, and plenty of shopping (for the inevitable last minute accessorizing, ladies)!
Sadana's favorite brunch spots are here :) The Flying Biscuit, Tupelo Honey, and Tazza are great options! Also has a Goodberry's (a NC fav, though not Sadana's), and many boutique stores. Great place to hang out on a nice day.
Hang out in the North Hills area, full of restaurants, bars, gyms, and boutique stores
Head to Glenwood Ave. or Fayetteville St. to explore downtown Raleigh! There are plenty of local coffeeshops, restaurants, and bars to explore. Great place for dinner and drinks.
Grab a coffee and spend an afternoon walking around their outside art park area or looking through the galleries inside!
If you're traveling with kids, Marbles Kids Museum is a must-see. They will love it!
