Backyard BBQ Pit in Durham - Probably the best pulled pork I have ever had. Fatatarian friendly, can ask for extra fat, and classic Eastern North Carolina vinegar based sauce.
Second Empire - Best restaurant in Raleigh. Year round specials of Filet Mignon and Foie Gras plates constantly changing. Classic 1879 building in the heart of Raleigh.
Rush Hour Karting - Race all night Thursdays for $42. 5 hours interleaved with other customers, but often nearly non-stop.
Fickle Creek Farm - My primary local source for eggs, pork, lamb, duck, chicken, beef. Found at the Western Wake Farmers Market and others around the area.
Locals Seafood - Rainbow Trout, Scallops, etc. Also at Western Wake Farmers Market.
Earps Seafood - Local fish market, has fresh head-on shrimp.
Umstead State Park - 5 minute drive (for me), great trails.
Lake Crabtree County Park - And other areas to mountain bike.
Sarah P. Duke Gardens - Nice place to unwind on the weekend.
