I had clients yesterday, new to the area, that asked me "What should I not miss seeing while I'm in Raleigh/Cary?

Having lived here for over 30 years, I had a hard time coming up with too many!

I suggested Falls Lake, WRAL Gardens, and a few other things.

I want to know...what would you suggest to people, new to the area, as something they shouldn't miss?

TIA!

Vicki

I always take visitors to the Duke gardens and chapel. It is so lovely there. Hmmm, A Bull's game is fun, my in laws LOVE the flea market, the walking trails at the art museum are great, the Tabacco District (is that right?) is kinda cool...

I would second duke gardens and the chapel. I also have people who like to walk around UNC chapel hill and see the "old well" (it is a place that people always see on advertisements, etc)

But, like you, I have lived here for so long (36 years) that I don't really come up with much.

For Raleigh, I'd say Schenk Forest, the Museum of Natural Science, Pullen Park, Flea Market, Farmer's Market, Chubby's Tacos, and the beer selection at Peace St. Market.

Oh! and the arboretum. And watching a band on the back deck of Sadlack's in the summertime.

Definately the Flea Market. Also, just wandering around downtown Raleigh looking at the old homes and the history.

Sam's undoubtably has the best selection in the Triangle (and great service/staff who will give great advice), but I was focusing on Raleigh. I don't know Team Beverage.
