I love Bull City!! I am from Durham but go to school up North, and I just wish that all of my friends would see Durham as I do before they dismiss it as just another stagnant Southern city. I want to emphasize Nana’s and Four Square as some of the best dining in the area, and I think everyone should absolutely check out Scratch, a new eatery that opened pretty recently on Orange Street, which is fantastic for breakfast or brunch. And let’s not forget that our beloved Duke basketball is another must-experience outing.

Fantastic Article! My girlfriend and I just moved to the area from Virginia Beach and I’ve been wondering how to go about finding all the cool local places. Your article gave me a list we’ll be working off of for quite some time, so THANKS! :)

Born and raised in North Cackalacky, I moved to Chapel Hill in 2002 to begin my undergrad at UNC. It is true what is is mentioned above re: Durham having a bad rep. For those who are not familiar with this area, it is known as the triangle due to the three cities (cultural hot spots) within just a few miles of one another. Since 2002, I’ve lived in both Raleigh, Durham and Chapel Hill, and I must say that Durham is the most unique, organic, historic, and friendly place I have called home. You never have to ponder over the question, “What do you want to do this weekend?” It’s Durham, and there’s always something going on… and it’s always a good time! Thanks for this post!

Hey Jorie – We moved from Indianapolis to Raleigh 2 years ago and LOVE the triangle area more than I can possibly say. Raleigh and Durham are both excellent places for young couples to live. I think it just depends on what you want and where you’ll be working. But everything is so close, you really get both cities, and Chapel Hill and Carrboro too.

Oh this is such a lovely guide! I moved here from NYC in ’95 and fell in love with Durham. In ’06 I took a job in Baltimore but after 2 yrs was too homesick for Durham and moved back. I LOVE THIS PLACE and your guide sums it up so beautifully, thank you! Unless I missed it above, you might want to add Beyu Caffe to the line up of happenin’ places on Main Street.
