Stanbury: Our favorite restaurant! Delicious small plates and recently on the Michelin recommendations list. Pro tip, they don't take reservations so put your name in early in the day and grab a drink at Standard or on their patio while you wait.

Longleaf Swine: Great BBQ and sides. Plus, it's right next door to where we'll be for all of Saturday's activities.

Death & Taxes: An Ashley Christianson contemporary restaurant in downtown Raleigh. Swanky cocktails and an open kitchen.

Two Roosters Ice Cream: Multiple locations around the triangle and the best ice cream in the area (if you ask us!). Monthly flavors are a favorite.

Transfer Co. Food Hall: Tons of options for lunch or dinner, plus Benchwarmer's Bagels. Great patio for a sunny afternoon and Burial Beer next door for a beverage.

Big Ed's: Breakfast all day and classic diner eats for any time. We love the City Market location, sausage biscuit, and baked apples.

Paul and Jack: A new pastry and coffee shop in the Smoky Hollow neighborhood.

The Optimist: A favorite coffee shop of the Oakwood neighborhood. Try the Stacy or other seasonal favorite!
