Restaurants and Nightlife

Cary has lots of independent restaurants, but not in one area and not what I would consider "hip." More mom and pop or ethnic type places. If you're looking for something like this: Home you'll be sticking to downtown Raleigh or downtown Durham.

Thanks. I'm mostly looking for a strip or plaza of restaurants. Doesn't have to be the hippist of places as we now have a baby and are in by 9:30 but fun would be nice. A place with multiple resturants/shops etc... would be ideal. Of course, indie places are a huge bonus for us. Sounds like Raleigh is the only spot around for what we are looking for. Is it fun there during the day/early evening too?
