thanks all - so sorry about the BBQ abbreviation! LOL I edited my post for clarification....
Tigeru, we are coming down from NYC, not from the mountains LOL. Plenty of sidewalks where I live, but unfortunately bc of the traffic and insane drivers, my kids can only ride their bikes on our one block, and it can get pretty boring after a while. When I take them out with me, we cross over. My son is hoping he can ride his bike to get to friend's houses within the subdivision and such when we move. He is 13 and would love to do that!
You should check out the greenways while you're here as well. You can look at maps at www.townofcary.org. And you're close to Bond Park where you're staying.
And NYC2RDU always says he gets Brueggers when he has NYC friends visiting and they rave about them
The only pizza place in DT Cary is Pizza Faulisi. It's good, but not for everyone. We go to Johnny's. Their food is good too.
Speaking of bagels, Brueggers is right there in that same plaza with La Farm.
Yes yes yes to La Farm but maybe temper your expectations of a bagel before you go into Brueggers.
I heard good things about NY Bagel & Deli in Cary but I haven't been there myself yet. I seem to remember few reviewers complained that the people helping them weren't that friendly and kind of moved them along which makes me think it really is run by New Yorkers.

Yes you MUST check out greenways! When we visited from NY the first few times, we looked to experience things that weren't like NY and those certainly aren't. Lots of opportunities for open spaces, safe places for bike riding, lots of times a pond or a lake to look at.
Pizza Faulisi is thin crust, think crispy. I liked it too but I like a thicker crust so Brothers of New York in Cary was more my style. It's subjective.
Thank you greenie! We have been down there several times, but this is our final trip before we seriously start looking for jobs and houses. On this trip we will narrow down the subdivisions in Cary that we like, show my in laws around (my husband is driving them to Wilmington the day before I arrive there with the kids), and figure out the schools.
The woman we are renting the house from said that it is right near a greenway, and I didn't know exactly what that meant. I assumed it was a path to walk or something, but your description sounds lovely!
I am not surprised on the NY attitude at the bagel shop, I didn't expect to be able to escape it altogether!
Oh wow, you have a greenway really close that leads straight to Bond Park. It's probably the biggest and best park in Cary. We've been there quite a bit. As a matter of fact, we went there on one of our fact-finding trips too.
If you go to the intersection of Maynard and High House, there’s Brooklyn Boys pizza, Hibachi take out, and an NC BBQ place (BBQ the food, not a grill ). There’s also amazing Himalayan food across the street, not to be missed!
awesome thank you! I am tempted to try a BBQ place! We don't eat much of that here - seems to be popular on the menu there! and HaHa, I think I learned my lesson on BBQ terminology!!
