Visit one of our favorite coffee places! We recommend the Hillsborough St. location for some sight-seeing while you’re in the city. The shop is across the street from the N.C. State University Bell Tower and on the same street as Campbell University Law School, where Ashley received her law degree.

If you're looking for shopping, dining, and a great way to pass the time, Shops at The Village is the perfect stop. This is an outdoor shopping plaza with a Starbucks, Chick-fil-A, Village Draft House (one of our favorites), clothing shops, and much more! Fun fact, Austin lived just up the street at 616 at The Village when we met!

Need Brunch? We love grabbing brunch on Saturday’s with our friends here because it reminds us of the TV show Friends. It is located in the warehouse district of Raleigh- be sure to take a look around! We recommend the Eggs Benedict, Hash Scramble Bowl, and some breakfast shots. We are still in debate over which shot is better- Fruity Pebbles shot or Cinnamon Toast Crunch shot. Which side are you on?

North Hills is a great outdoor shopping area and has some great restaurants, even a spa! There is a Target, Voda Boutique, Nail Salon, Movie Theater, Five Guys, and many more. This shopping area is the location of our first date - CO sushi ❤️ and is only a mile away from our first apartment.
