Visitor Lauds Magnolia Grill as a "Best Dining Experience in the US"

"This was one of the best dining experiences I've had in the US. The grits souffle appetizer was creamy and had just the right amount of cheese. My scallops were perfectly seared and caramelized. The service was attentive but not overbearing."

Praise for Bullock's BBQ

"To Bullock's BBQ. And as to our lunch, all I can say is this- Oh. My. Goodness. This was our second visit... It was really good and we decided to go back... Excellent does not even begin to cover it. Basically, it was the best damn catfish I have ever eaten. Anywhere. One of the things that makes the experience at Bullock's is the staff... If you're in Durham, stop by. If you live anywhere close by, it's worth the drive."

Resident Lauds Durham Lifestyle

"My wife and I love living in Durham. I just finished walking to work after stopping at my favorite coffeeshop for some hot tea -- and where I ran into a neighbor and chatted for a bit. With transit here, on Friday I left my car at work and took a bus to the airport -- no parking charges and I was there in 40 minutes' time door to door."
