Thirty-Six Hours in Durham... Through the Eyes of a New York Times Writer

Durham is a cool mix of diverse culture and good food as New York Times reporter Ingrid K. Williams discovered recently when she paid the Bull City a visit: http://www.newsobserver.com/2013/02/16/2683317/36-hours-in-durham.html

Williams kicks off her tour with a visit to Duke's Sara P. Duke Gardens: http://www.hr.duke.edu/dukegardens/ and the Nasher Museum of Art: http://nasher.duke.edu/.

Next, she heads over to Los Comales for Spanish tapas: http://www.urbanspoon.com/r/25/291361/restaurant/North-Durham/Los-Comales-Durham

Downtown Durham features Motorco Music Hall: http://motorcomusic.com/ and Fullsteam Brewery (a personal favorite of my family): http://www.fullsteam.ag/beer/

It's 10 a.m. on a Saturday and where does this NY reporter head? Why the Durham Farmer's Market, of course: http://www.durhamfarmersmarket.com/

Next on her list was the Upfront Gallery at the Bull City Arts Collaborative: http://bullcityarts.org/, Liberty Arts Gallery: http://liberty-arts.org/ and LabourLove Gallery: http://labourlove.com/.

Known for its great food trucks, Durham now has two that have been transformed into into brick-and-mortar restaurants: Only Burgers http://onlyburger.com/ and the Parlour: http://theparlourdurham.com/

Shop until you drop for Durham's own local designer labels at Vert & Vogue: http://vertandvogue.com/

For a dinner Southern-fried comfort, head on over to Dame's Chicken & Waffles: http://dameschickenwaffles.com/, then top it of with an aperitif at Whiskey: http://whiskeydurham.com/index2.php#/home/

 On her third day in Durham, Williams enjoyed a Bavarian Brunch from: Guglhupf Bakery and Restaurant: http://guglhupf.com/ and then topped it off with some frisbee golf at one of the two courses at Cornwallis Road Park, 2830 Wade Rd; and Valley Springs Park at 3805 Valley Springs Road.

Special thanks to News & Observer staffers Mark Shultz, editor of the Durham News; and Jim Wise, columnist and writer. They shared some of their favorite Durham spots that the Times overlooked. They were:
