Welcome to Durham!

Food scene

I begin with places to which you can walk, and then move to those that are a 10-15 minute drive away. I don't make recommendations for downtown only because there are so many great places that I never go to:)
Y'all, once you have eaten at Monuts, you'll keep dreaming about when you can return. Now takeout only, you can either order online or walk up to the to-go window. Some of our family favs--Dark Chocolate Sea Salt Donuts, Bagel Banh Mi, and Chicken and Pickle Biscuit. Or you can always just build your own sandwich. Monuts has a very loyal local following. You will see why--and it is just a block away.

Natural World

Ellerbee Creek is a tributary of the Neuse River that flows for 20 miles through Durham. Runners and walkers will enjoy the Preserve's accessible trail along the Creek. Quite a gem in a city, and about a ten-minute walk from our house.

Durham possesses an extraordinary resource in the Eno River State Park, just an easy 15-minute drive from our house. I'll be happy to recommend specific trails and views to suit you, but you won't want to miss walking along the River itself. It is restorative.

Places to hang out, mainly outside

You'll find these close to our house or in the Central Park neighborhood. Again, there are lots of places to explore downtown as well.

Besides their wildly popular ice cream and popsicles, LocoPops now has Sundry, their store that sells upscale, local products--bread, prepared meals, pantry items, and gifts. Well worth a trip!
