Re: “Pomodoro Italian Kitchen”
Pomodoro is the best Italian restaurant there is around. The owners are Italian and you can definetly taste it when you have their food. The servers are great, and they have great drink specials at their new bar. It also looks like they are putting a patio at the front of the building. Cant wait!!! So if you are looking for the BEST Italian food you have to come to Pomodoro Italian Kitchen. You wont be disappointed.
Re: “Sushi Tsune”

Re: “The Station at Southern Rail”
We live nearby and Have seen some fantastic bands here! Members of The Old Ceremony perform regularly, and the Windy City Slim show a couple of weeks ago was outstanding. My personal fave is an amazing group called "Skinny Bag of Sugar." Can't figure out how they don't charge any cover at the Station, but we left the bands tips. Beer selection is good, and lots of drink specials.

Re: “Sandwhich”
Just had dinner at the new location - fantastic. We ordered multiple sides in addition to our entrees. Of note were the polenta, which is to die for - light and airy, flavorful, don't want to know how much butterfat was in it to make it so delectable. The sauteed spinach had morsels of preserved lemons, the broccoli rabe must have been locally sourced as it was exceedingly tender and flavorful. We ordered the mixed nuts and bread with butter for appetizers (we had our kids in tow) - the mixed nuts were roasted with mixed Mediterranean herbs, sugar and butter. The bread seems like it was sourced from Weaver Street (which is a good thing) and the butter included a nice ratio of Gorgonzola Dulce.
For entrees, I ordered the polenta which was also cooked perfectly, the home-made mushroom stock adding depth to the dish. My wife ordered the Chorizo with white beans. The Chorizo was rather mild in the spice department but was very light and 'clean' tasting. Apparently, the Chorizo is locally sourced as many of the menu items are. The white beans were subtle and a nice foil for the Chorizo.
My son ordered the NY Strip steak with fries. The steak was cooked as ordered (medium rare), flavorful and came with a generous portion of fries. The kicker is the special ketchup served with the fries, spicy and smokey.
The wine list, thankfully not too extensive, is well-rounded but most importantly, complements the menu well. I had the Argentinian Malbec which was superb.
Hats off to both Hitch and Janet on moving to the new location despite the rather dismal economic climate. The new location is well designed, a nice mixture of urban contemporary architecture and west coast casualness. There is outdoor seating as there was in the previous location, and I would imagine that when the restaurant is full, might be the place to be if you want to have an intimate conversation.
Support this restaurant, it deserves to succeed on the merit of it's finely executed cuisine.

Re: “Academy for the Performing Arts”
EXCELLENT instruction and care from the staff of the studio! I was very pleased when I found out that all students can take a trial class before deciding on joining the studio or not. The teachers are personable and helpful to parents and students! I highly recommend joining!

Re: “Dancing Moon Books & Gifts”
More than a decade and a half has passed since I first walked into the small house on Johnson Street that was then home to Dancing Moon. I knew immediately that I was in a rare and special place. Although Dancing Moon left behind the little house some years ago and now resides in a bright, beautiful and much larger space (filled with even more wonderful treasures!), the store still holds that joyful resonance I found on my first visit so long ago. Through the years, Dancing Moon has become my second home, and those who work at the Moon are every bit as dear to my heart as family. When I go to the Moon, I always feel welcomed! I can’t say how grateful I am for the day I found Dancing Moon. A source of support for the community, a center for healing and enlightenment, a meeting place for seekers, a haven for those who seek acceptance, spiritual enrichment and like-minded friends—Dancing Moon is all this and more. It's also the BEST book store in town!
Re: “Davenport & Winkleperry”

Re: “The Tavern”
The Tavern is great! It's huge, with a big stage and great dancefloor. They have bands practically every weekend. And not just the same old cover bands, but real bands who write their own music. They have DJ's, trivia, karaoke and a great juke box. They also have pool tables, dart boards, video games, tons of stuff to do while enjoying the music. Not to mention 24 draft beers, great liquor, great specials, even wine! And I hear they are opening a kitchen this summer. This place has everything! Oh, and lots of parking - it's the best new spot in Durham!
Re: “Keva Juice”
Keva Juice has the best testing smoothies. I have tried all the competitors and their taste is head and shoulders above the rest. I like how they use real juice and fruit as opposed to syrups that others use.
Re: “Hillsborough Gallery of Arts”
