Head over to the Carolina Inn on Friday before our welcome party to enjoy Fridays on the Front Porch! There’s live music, drinks, and food on the front lawn from 5-8 pm.
Sutton's Drug Store
A Franklin Street staple. Enjoy an old-school pharmacy atmosphere for a causal breakfast, brunch, or lunch. And if you have a sweet tooth, you'll be able to find your favorite classic candies. Pick up a pickled okra or locally-sourced jam to bring home Chapel Hill with you.
Carolina Basketball Museum
The Carolina Basketball Museum is located on the first floor of the Ernie Williamson Athletics Center, adjacent to the Smith Center and Koury Natatorium on Skipper Bowles Drive. The museum features artifacts, videos, photos, statistical and historical panels that highlight the history of the Carolina Basketball program. It's only open from 9 am to 1 pm on Saturday, but if you are college hoops fan it's a can't miss.
Top of the Hill Restaurant & Brewery
Located on the corner of Franklin and Columbia in downtown Chapel Hill, Top of the Hill's outdoor patio has some of the most scenic views in the entire city. The famous Blueberry Wheat Beer is brewed in-house and will be in season. One of Katie's favorite summer ales. Check out the Back Bar if you want to scope out a potential after-party spot.
He's Not Here
A Chapel Hill establishment! There's nothing like grabbing a 32 oz. Blue Cup of beer and enjoying the beautiful North Carolina weather on the patio.
Merritt's Grill
Sourdough. Bacon. Bacon. Lettuce. Tomato. Sourdough. If you need to hear more, this isn't a place for you.
Elmo's Diner
Located in the heart of Carrboro, this diner has it all. Great for breakfast, brunch, lunch, or just to people watch while sipping a cup of coffee.
UNC School of Law Office of Admissions
Visit the place where Katie and Brian first met. The school may be ugly, but Katie and Brian's love was blind.
The Morgan at Chapel Hill Apartments
Sneak into the pool area where Katie and Brian lived as they started on their journey together. Most Saturdays you can find a great pick-up floating beer pong game with a group of current grad students.
Harris Teeter, Chapel Hill, Meadowmont Village
The fresh produce wasn't the only thing that was tender at the Meadowmont Village Harris Teeter...so were Katie and Brian's hearts. If you are looking for Diet Sunkist, they've got the best in town. Tell 'em Gamsey sent ya.
