A great, low-key, "speak-easy" style bar. Features frequent tarot card readings and local poetry readings. Good luck finding the entrance though--it's well hidden around the back of the building. A local secret.

If you can find this place, it's well worth it because the food (Korean Fried Chicken) is cheap and excellent. It's a small restaurant hidden along the backside of a building. Good luck!

This long, paved, flat running trail goes for miles and starts directly off of the American Tobacco campus. Very shady and peaceful. If you go, keep an eye out for the large feral cat colony! They are a Durham institution.
