The Durham Farmers' Market is open Saturdays 8am-12pm from April through November! We love spending a Saturday morning strolling around the market, sipping coffee, grabbing snacks and baked goods, and checking out the local artists' tables.

Over 20 miles of trails that begins in downtown Durham, just down the street from the American Tobacco Campus! The trail is paved and is frequented by walkers, joggers, and cyclists. A helpful landmark to get to the start of the path is the "Miracle League of the Triangle - Durham field," a small community baseball field on the corner of Morehead Ave and Blackwell St. There are also other trailheads with parking lots along the trail, if you choose to drive out to a more remote part and start there.

A downtown hotel, but the first couple of floors are museum gallery spaces with some funky art! The building is a former bank, and you can go downstairs into the old bank vault. They also have a great bar and restaurant, if you want to grab anything to eat or drink.

If you liked Question #2 in our Q+A section, you might enjoy this quaint and free museum on Main St. (in a renovated bus station).

Really beautiful gardens right next to Duke's campus

A bit outside downtown Durham, but a lovely state park with walking trails along the Eno River!

Movies, documentaries, live music, and other performances in a historic downtown Durham building!

Super yummy sweet and savory crepes (including GF crepes!), fancy coffees, and brunch cocktails. They don't take reservations, and the wait during peak Saturday morning brunch hours is often ~45min (but you can get a drink at their bar while you wait!)

One of Allie's faves! "South American meets the American South" - highly recommend the arepas, patacon pisaos, any of the plates, yuca fries, and the maduros. Nice cocktails and outdoor seating too!

Super yummy, constantly rotating menu, with GF noodles and baked goods available!

Delicious ice cream!!!

Ramen shop downtown (GF options available)

Great brunch, coffee, and cocktails, sometimes with live jazz!

Pizzas in a former auto shop, with indoor and outdoor seating (GF pizza available)

A classic Durham brewery near Boxcar and Geer Street Garden. Glenn recommends the Rocket Science or Paycheck. Also has cider, wine, and snacks.

Funky cocktails downstairs right next to the Durham Hotel. Jazz night on Tuesdays, but worth checking out on the weekend too.
