WHAT TO DO IN RALEIGH

This itinerary includes suggestions on where to eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner, activities for the morning and afternoon, pre-dinner and after-dinner drinks, and hotels to stay in.

We love living in Raleigh, and we hope this guide helps your visit be stress free and full of fun memories and wanting more time in the city of oaks. Now, let us show you around…

Here you’ll enjoy a laid-back vibe with a collection of funky antiques hanging from the ceiling, warm Southern hospitality, and food like what grandma used to make.

Big Ed’s Restaurant City Market

Coffee At The Morning Times

We love their lattes and we like to either sit in the cozy upstairs that also functions as an art gallery, or on the sidewalk and watch the Raleigh street scene go by.

As you stroll up and down Fayetteville St you’ll pass several restaurants and bars, hotels, the Court House, and through City Plaza.

Fayetteville Street
