Raleigh Hidden Gem:

Today’s hidden gem:

Raleigh is, at its core, an arts and food town. For my out-of-town guests, I always recommend the speakeasies. Sous Terre, Fox, Watts, Green Light, Foundation, and many more, including the rooftop bars and breweries.

Local theatre here is also vastly underrated. I’ve seen dozens of Broadway shows in NYC, but my most memorable theatre experiences have been right here. Theatre Raleigh, RLT, Burning Coal, TIP, Playmakers Rep, university theatre programs—the talent is outstanding.

—Chris
