Food Scene
Where locals go for coffee. Excellent coffee and coffee-based beverages. Many consider coffee better than Starbucks. Heavy local vibe. Each Cocoa Cinnamon was designed by local designer to reflect some aspect of Durham's history.

Drinks & Nightlife
Bar and music venue. Music every night. In my view blues and Durham belong together and that's what Blue Note offers.

Does not have music nightly but one of better options for Jazz in Triangle, and likely best in Durham is this place: http://www.durhamjazzworkshop.org/up-coming-concerts.html

Best kids theater by far in the Triangle area. Great museum for any area. About 80 acres of space. Outside there are black bear and wolf and lemur habitats where the animals are readily viewable. There are outdoor play areas and great, engaging areas inside for kids. They have a reciprocity agreement with a number of children's museums in region/across US so if you belong to children's museum where you live you may be able to get free entrance here (ask).
