We’re loving the brand-new, art-filled Cocoa Cinnamon location on Hillsborough Road!
VP of Content Andrea Griffith Cash headed to DPAC Friday for the Next Women of Country tour. Man, Jennifer Nettles has quite a set of pipes!
The real draw of the concert for Andrea was hearing Brandy Clark perform. If you haven’t listened to her album, “12 Stories,” you must check it out!
Biscuit or doughnut from Rise? Thankfully Assistant Editor Jessica Stringer didn’t have to make the tough call — and got both!
Managing editor Amanda MacLaren and her friends grabbed dinner at Tasu in Brier Creek last week — it’s the perfect midpoint when you’re meeting with people coming from both Durham and Raleigh. She went with the Philly Roll and N.C. Sunset Roll (obviously a cream cheese lover!).
If you have yet to try the new Guasaca location in Erwin Square, you better get here fast! The arepas are phenomenal — the vegetarian and chicken options are a couple of our favorites — and you can customize each item to your tastes.
We’re so grateful to have a Joe Van Gogh close by — it’s perfect for when you decide to move your afternoon meeting to a coffee shop!
This small shack on Markham Avenue is home to some big flavors — whether you like boneless or bone-in, Heavenly Buffaloes is guaranteed to have a wing flavor you’ll enjoy. And don’t forget a side of waffle fries!
Amanda got a first taste of Picnic — the new barbecue joint off of Cole Mill Road — last week. She was impressed by the beautiful pulled pork, stellar sides and some of the best fried chicken she’s had. Bonus: The service is super friendly! Read more about Picnic in our review of this new hot spot.
There have been a couple mild winter nights recently, perfect for enjoying a Ponysaurus Biere de Garde on the beer garden’s upstairs patio.
Prior to a volunteer outing at the Durham Branch of Food Bank of Central & Eastern N.C., Amanda fueled up at the new Cocoa Cinnamon location with a “Lion in the Sun” latte, sweetened with housemade date syrup, vanilla beans, cardamom and rose water.
