Check out Raleigh Beer Garden in Glenwood South for an unlimited selection of beers, Morgan Street food hall for lunch, Barcelona Wine Bar for some tapas, Brewery Bhavana for the best Asian inspired food, the Merchant for speakeasy cocktails, or soak up the sun on Whiskey Kitchen's patio.

Fenton is a new shopping center in Cary that has so many shops and good dining/ drink options. Our favorite is Sports & Social for any big games and Dram & Draught for cocktails.

Check out the historic downtown in Apex. We love Neat & Sweet for cocktails, Sushi Suyu for sushi, and Tap Station for lunch!

Enjoy various walking trails at all levels of difficulty at the state park right outside of Cary.

Carolina beach is a little over 2 hours away. Stop in Wilmington on your way there!
