Re: “DoveFox Studios”

A brilliant idea! What every strong community needs!

Re: “Cuban Revolution”

I highly recommend going to Cuban Revolution! Impeccable customer service and the food was outstanding. Despite not having reservations while we were on our way to see Wicked at the DPAC we were able to eat and have drinks in at a very reasonable time, I was very impressed. We had an incredible bartender she made the drinks right on the money. I absolutely enjoyed my experience there and the price was right & the atmosphere was delightful.

Re: “Queen of Sheba Ethiopian Restaurant”

We really enjoyed our first foray into Ethiopian dining, and of course had to do it right and go with the basket instead of a table! We did the family-style meat platter (3 meat dishes, 2 veggie sides, plus bread) and the food was very good. Service was excellent, and our server was very knowledgeable! Will definitely do it again!

Re: “Hillsborough Road Co-op”

The best place to live cooperatively in the southeast. It's way better than the bog or cedar rock.

Re: “Our PlayHouse Preschool & Kindergarten”

My son is a student at Our PlayHouse in Chapel Hill, and we are thrilled to see another school open in Durham, where we live. He has had a phenomenal experience this year. I had worried that he would learn less or be frustrated with the rigidity of a "school day" after being home with me for five years. We've seen the reverse at Our PlayHouse; he has opened up exponentially, and his learning and his ways of learning have skyrocketed. I can't imagine a richer or more engaging environment for kids at this age. We are lucky!

Re: “The Pig”

This is a VEG FRIENDLY BBQ place! They have local-tempeh sandwiches, fried tofu platters and the most awesome fried mushroom po-boy you will ever have outside of the big easy. The mushrooms are either oyster or shiitake, whatever they can get from the local mushroom farmers. I have never seen so many amazing veg options. As a vegetarian, this is one of my favorite places to take carnivores and one of my fav places to eat in general. Just writing this makes me drool a little.

Re: “Spotted Dog Restaurant & Bar”

Great veg bar menu. This is one of the only places in the area that has a solid vegetarian selection and doesn't charge through the nose. Solid, clean food. Head there for lunch and get the 2 veg chili dogs + fries. You can't beat the price. This bar is exactly what it should be - now go support them!

Re: “Sage Vegetarian Café”

The food is good and its one of the only actual Veg places around. Because of this, you're going to end up eating there and you wont be disappointment. It's around the 3rd of 4th time back that you start loosing interest because of the small menu that seems set in stone. I just wish the menu would change with the seasons.

Re: “Peony Asian Bistro”

Waitress was obviously in a poor mood both times I went there. No big deal. The sushi however is not sushi at all, it's some raw fish rolled in rice. Missing is the vital vinegar/salt/sugar combination called mirin that flavors the rice. This was a huge turn-off and makes the raw fish&rice taste flat. There are plenty of places in the area that do 2for1 and make GOOD sushi.

This event is gone. The owner's confirm it. Please take it down

Re: “Tosca Ristorante Italiano”

You should update this listing. I believe this restaurant is called 604 at West Village and their website is: http://www.604westvillage.com/
This is the best Italian I've had in Durham. I have come here many times, and never go home disappointed. The food is amazing and the atmosphere is great too. Great outdoor seating area.

Re: “Legacy Studios for the Performing Arts”

Have taken Adult Beg Aerial and Flamenco here. Both great experiences and fun teachers. I would go back. I recommend this place.

Re: “Posh The Salon”

Kenny is fabulous. I tried three other salons after I moved to Durham last year. Two weren't bad, but certainly weren't great. Then I went to Posh and Kenny. My hair looks fabulous! He did a wonderful combination of highlights and lowlights and gave my hair much more life. I'll definitely be staying with Posh.

Re: “Hillsborough Antiques Mall”

The best antique shop around. They have quality antiques.

Re: “Tirzas Wine & Artisan Gift Shop”

Wonderful services and not only local products but international business owners reside and retail products that are hand made. Small venue so all sales are final, definitely not a corporate franchise. The cross country flare befriends many travelers and transplants looking for warmth and new friendships. Cozy Wine Bar where people know your name.

Re: “Hillsborough Antiques Mall”

One of the best antique malls I have been in. Truly quality antiques. Had a great time. Personnel most helpful and friendly.

Re: “Courtney Gunnels, State Farm Agent”

- Super Professional

My agents for life!

Re: “618 Bistro”

Delicious food and great atmosphere!

Re: “Blue Note Grill”

Great music but don't forget about the FOOD. When you get your full-rack babybacks and those divine french fries served on a large tray, you're in heaven! Impeccable staff. Great atmosphere. Families, old hipsters, academic types, bikers, it's all there. Finish off your ribs with a shooter of the best bread pudding on this planet. And how can you lose when you're located next to a tattoo parlor?
