Re: “Somerhill Gallery”
Do you need any volunteers to work in the Gallery :-)?
Re: “The Tavern”
I'm so excited the event has moved to Durham. I love bringing my kids out to see all the old bikes and scooters. A great charity this year too.
Re: “Cobblestone Hall”
Web site for the venue is http://www.CobblestoneHall.com
Re: “Walltown Children's Theatre”
Walltown Children's Theatre is a great place for children to express and discover their creativity! The teachers are excellent and each child receives individual attention, Small classes, tutoring and a family atmosphere compliments this Durham gem!
Re: “Durham Art Guild”
The DAG Member show is one of my favorite art events in the triangle. The juried show is great too but the member artists often display a wicked sense of humor and let their hair down a bit with the member show. If you don't walk away from this show with at least one piece stuck in your mind you weren't paying enough attention.
Re: “Dos Perros”
Deliciously eclectic yet there's mole and ceviche and several truly special margaritas done right. Good atmosphere, good service and food that will keep you coming back for more.
Re: “Johnny's Gone Fishing”
One of the best places to hangout in Carrboro. They have a nice selection of good beer and of course PBR. When we went there was a taco truck in the parking lot and a small amount of sandwiches and burritos inside. The best part is the large outdoor space.
Re: “Sip ... A Wine Store”
Yes, it's just like you describe. Eco-friendly meets shabby chic. I went to a wine class there last week. We sipped wine and learned how grapes are farmed biodynamicly and made into lovely wine. April knows her stuff. There is a special shopping center wide open house tonight. Music and samples. It will be warm but Sip...a wine store is cool in many ways.

Re: “The Station at Southern Rail”
We stumbled upon this event last summer and had a blast. Been back 3 or 4 times now. If you have never been, Southern Rail has a cool, retro flea market kind of feel - in a good way. The dj plays all reggae and some of the best stuff I have ever heard. The place is usually pretty packed on this night, but its a friendly enough crowd. The only bad part was that it sometimes took a while to get a drink.
Re: “La ShiSh”
I posted the last review and had to come back here to update-
Brought my sister once again and my husband and we had a GREAT time! The food was once again spectacular and the service was just as pleasant. The iced tea is amazing as was the gyro. Last time I had falafel which was just as good.
It's definitely worth a trip out to cary to visit this locally owned eatery!
Re: “Southpoint Animal Hospital”
I brought 3 of my pets to Southpoint Animal Hospital and received stellar service at extremley reasonable prices. They have the most inviting relaxing veterinary hospital I have ever experienced. It truly is the ulimate experience. The attentive team made me feel right at home and part of their family. I was educated by Dr. Lapham and Dr. Farling that they create choices for pet owners by providing traditional medicine expertise with alternative services as well. It is refreshing to walk into a veterinary hospital, be offered beverages, get greeted with a handshake, and not pay an arm and a leg for vet services. We are lucky to have such a wonderful and progressive (environmentally friendly) veterinary hospital in Durham!
Re: “Red Lotus Asian Kitchen”
This is the best Chinese Restaurant in Chapel Hill. They have 2 menus, try the Chinese menu...you won't be disappointed.
Re: “Aladdin's Eatery”
Absolutely outstanding authentic Mediterranean restaurant! Fresh, natural ingredients. Food prepared from scratch.
Friendly and helpful staff.
I will be back again and again... It surpassed my expectations.
Try it! You will not be dissapointed.
Re: “Perched”
Perched is a really cool arts space run by Paige Travis. Check it out if you have a chance. they have a lot of cool events going on, teach individuals lessons, show local artists work and offer classes and seminars to the public.
Re: “Bynum General Store”
Perfect summer night in Chatham County. Good music, good food, Clyde Jones art, and a cool old store.
Re: “Sitti”
Amazing restaurant. The decor is comfortably classy and the food is delicious. They serve you just the right portions of meals, providing you with the greatest flavor combinations you never thought of. Try anything and everything-- it is all delightful. Best falafel I have ever had. It is fairly expensive, but well worth it. If you are looking for a unique taste that will knock your socks off-- go here.
Re: “Queen of Sheba Ethiopian Restaurant”
Queen of Sheba is fantastic! I love the fact that there's something for everyone there - vegetarian dishes, vegan dishes, spicy food, and mild food (i.e. very flavorful but not at all spicy). I've been able to take groups of people to the restaurant and everyone has loved it. And the quality of the beef, lamb, and chicken is excellent - it's great the restaurant supports local farms!
Re: “Queen of Sheba Ethiopian Restaurant”
Loved the food - Chicken Tibbs so flavorful but not too spicy. Also liked the fact that the owner buys all her beef/chicken from local farms and that the meat is anti-biotic-free, beef is grass fed.
We ate very early: 5:30 pm 2 Friday nights ago.
Injera is totally delicious and nutritious. My friend's kids loved the food here, too. Couldn' t believe her otherwise picky 13 year old gobbled up the veggies on the platter and some of the shrimp dish! Her other daughter asked for a fork to eat (graciously provided by server) but the rest of us ate the traditional way - with our hands. By the time we left, the place was packed with patrons. Check this place out!
Re: “Durham Performing Arts Center”
I absolutely LOVE this venue. I've been a President's Club member for 2 years and they treat me like a queen. And the wonderful smiles and services extended to EVERYONE, as I volunteer often and I have seen this class act from both sides. Money well spent. An evening you won't forget if you give yourself time to get there and research the amazing restaurants nearby (Piedmont, Revolution, Federal, Mt. Fuji, Tosca, etc.). A Durham jewel.
