Each week, we share – through pictures – what the folks behind Durham Mag have been doing around town. We’re always out and about, just because we love this place; we hope you’ll comment with what you’ve been doing, too!
Basan
Creative Director Kevin Brown snapped this pic of the beautiful sushi dish he ordered at Basan recently. Chef Toshio Sakamaki creates a lot more than sushi at the American Tobacco restaurant — in fact, every Sunday after 5pm, the chef comes up with a different specialty ramen dish for dinner that evening. Try them out next time instead of cooking Sunday supper!
Beer Durham
Beer Durham is the perfect hangout for a beer after work. Sr. Associate Editor Amanda MacLaren celebrated National IPA Day a couple weeks back with this Deep River Brewing Co. White Lies IPA.
Fill That Bus
The Durham Magazine and Chapel Hill Magazine team did our part in collecting school supplies for Crayons2Calculators‘ Fill That Bus campaign to ensure local teachers have plenty of supplies for their classrooms when school begins. If you miss the drive, no worries — you can donate year-round!
Dress for Success Triangle
Amanda hit up the Dress for Success Excess Inventory Sale this past Saturday at Northgate Mall and came away with three new dresses perfect for the office. The sale, which helps support the organization’s mission to provide meaningful employment and economic security to unemployed and underemployed women by offering career-development tools, a network of support and professional attire, features items ranging from pants, skirts and tops to handbags, jewelry and shoes. Mark your calendars for the next sale: November 21!
The Brothers Vilgalys
The Brothers Vilgalys Spirits Company recently released four new liqueurs, including this Zaphod that contains starfruit, guava, mint, sage, lemongrass and peppercorns and is sweetened with raw cane sugar. Amanda picked up a bottle from the first batch at her local ABC store and followed the suggestion to simply combine it with sparkling water. It made for a super refreshing, herbal tea-like cocktail!

Hey, look! Our August cover guy, Errol!

Kevin says his pup, Honey, one of our other cover models, is very proud of this issue!
Foster’s Market
A sandwich from Foster’s Market never disappoints. Assistant Editor Jessica Stringer went with this turkey, bacon and Brie sandwich.
Burger Bach
Sales Assistant Caroline Kornegay couldn’t stare at Burger Bach‘s tempting menu any longer without sampling at least one burger and their amazing basil aioli.
Fullsteam Beer Dinner at Washington Duke
VP of Content Andrea Griffith Cash thoroughly enjoyed the Fullsteam beer dinner on the Washington Duke terrace to celebrate the brewery’s fifth anniversary.
NCGLFF
Be sure to grab a mag on your way to N.C. Gay and Lesbian Film Festival films at The Carolina Theatre this week. We’ll have ’em out throughout the festival.

NCGLFF
VPs Rory Gillis and Andrea and photographer Briana Brough had fun kicking off the 20th year of NCGLFF at the VIP party on the rooftop of The Durham Hotel …
Pizzeria Toro
… And then they enjoyed delicious pizza at Toro.
The Parlour
Another night, another long line out the door at The Parlour! Clearly, Durhamites love this ice cream!
