Things to Do
We have loved living in The Triangle-- if you have extra time, here are some of our favorite things to do and eat!
Chapel Hill
University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
141 South Road, Chapel Hill, NC 27599
Mickey and Alex’s place of work, also known as the oldest public university in the US. See the iconic Old Well, Old East (the country’s oldest state university building), the Coker Arboretum, Kenan Stadium, the Dean Dome with the Carolina Basketball Museum, and even take your shot at getting into a party on Fraternity Court. (Jokes) but in all seriousness, lots of pretty sites and historical buildings!
Franklin Street
The Main Street of Chapel Hill! Lots of shops and restaurants— stop by Gizmo’s or Tru wine bar where we had our first date! Also see other restaurants and attractions below!
Merritt's Grill
1009 S Columbia St, Chapel Hill 27514
The best BLT you will ever eat. Great place to eat outside. A Chapel Hill icon. Walking distance from where Mickey works!
Thai Station Restaurant
201 E Main St C, Carrboro, NC 27510, USA
(984) 234-3230
(technically in Carrboro, Chapel Hill's cute neighbor) But some of the best Thai food in the area, and inside an old train station! We recommend the massaman curry!
Kahlovera Mexican Bar & Grill
504 Meadowmont Village Cir, Chapel Hill, NC 27517, USA
Great mexican food--- our favorite is the Quesabirria Tacos (it's a weekend special!)
Durham
Duke University
Where Alex got his masters. Proceed with caution. Blue devils are eewwww.
But is is a beautiful place to walk around.
Sarah P. Duke Gardens
420 Anderson St, Durham, NC 27708, USA
Beautiful gardens for a beautiful walk!
The Roof at The Durham
315 E Chapel Hill St, Durham, NC 27701, USA
Rooftop bar on the Durham Hotel! Great views and great drinks!
