OT - Raleigh, NC

In Raleigh, North Carolina for work until tomorrow, and it's my first time here. Anything that is a must see, or must eat tonight? Or a great place to watch game?

Thanks.

I don't know much about Raleigh-- I'm a bit more knowledgeable about Durham though.

That said, if The Pit in Raleigh is anything like its sister restaurant in Durham-- I'd recommend trying it.

Beer: Try Trophy Brewing. They have some good beers. Brueprint in Apex has one of the very few hefeweizens I like (I can't stand hefeweizens and it's one of the few hefes I've had without a really distinct banana taste).

If you are close to Durham, check out Fullsteam Brewery (which is next door to The Pit in Durham). If you're a foodie, Fullsteam's owner is a two-time James Beard semifinalist for beer, wine, spirits professional.

I'd suggest Brewery Bhavana in Raleigh for similar reasons (their chef has gotten acclaim) but they're closed today.

If you were there for more days, I'd also recommend a trip to Saxapahaw and Haw River Farmhouse Ales. Gillian Welch is also performing a couple nights at the Haw River Ballroom this week.

Thank you very much. I will try as much if that as I can.

Angus Barn for steak. 10 minutes from airport.

I’m in charlotte.
No.

But actually, as bad of a rap as Durham gets, I’ve enjoyed their downtown scene more than Raleigh. But honestly not too familiar with RALEIGH, but I do know there are some really good restaurants downtown.

Durham has a very nice downtown scene. I’ve only experienced the American Tobacco Campus once but I liked it a lot.
