Yup, but there is some fun in using jargon for the sake of using jargon

Naval history. http://www.patriotspoint.org/

Downtown market area is nice to walk. Good restaurants down there too.

Plenty of golf courses in the area. Nice beaches at Folly Beach and Isle of Palms.

Go to North Hills for higher end shopping/dining.
Lots of great restaurants. If you are staying near RDU, then go to Chop House for finer dining. Ruckus is good. (Cary address) for watching sports and unique? Dining.
If you end up not liking it, then there is a BWW right next to if.
TriBeCa is also good.
There are some really great restaurants in Durham.
Where are you staying?
Soccer fan? Check to see if State, Carolina, or the Railhawks are in town. Baseball? Then see if there are in games on the docket at the USA ball fields.

Gonna win 'em all!

Great elite place to stay? The Umstead. A little more affordable but closer to the action while still being elite? Carolina Inn...walk to Franklin Street.

Gonna win 'em all!

pissclams · « **Reply #5094 on:** September 08, 2014, 08:52:40 PM »

Franklin St blows ass

go to satisfaction in durham, just a nice little venue where a guy or a girl can catch a game and an ice cold brew

slobber · « **Reply #5095 on:** September 09, 2014, 03:56:55 AM »

Carolina Inn is awesome.

I don't party in the RTP area, so I may not be up on which area is the best for bars.

Gonna win 'em all!

@JCisG, what are you looking for? Just you, or bringing the wife? On a budget or not?

Gonna win 'em all!
