Food Scene
Loaf
111 W Parrish StGreat rustic breads made in a brick oven.
Rise Durham Downtown
401 Foster StBest biscuits and donuts.
Locally owned, independent restaurant and craft brewery. The restaurant is very much farm-to-fork, working closely with North Carolina farmers supplying beef (with no added hormones or antibiotics) and vegetables. Nearly everything produced on-site, including house-made buns, sauerkraut, and bacon. Great veggie burgers.

Drinks & Nightlife
Craft beer brewery devoted to a "plow to pint" philosophy of using local produce to make their beers. Also home to a tavern open nightly. Beer lovers can get a behind the scenes look at how one of Durham’s hometown breweries does its thing and taste the results, too. These take place the first Sunday of every month.
