Here’s the first entry in what I hope becomes a regular feature here on raleighing.com, Raleighing Raves. Occasionally, I’ll pick a topic and list my own personal favorites in the area. First one up is the beloved yet oft undervalued sandwich. There are a bunch of great sandwiches available here in Raleigh but I’ve narrowed [...]

Open only since last October, Crema, a great little coffee shop on Fayetteville Street in downtown Raleigh, serves Seattle, Washington coffee brand Gillano, which Tim tells me roasts the finest one to two percent of all available fair trade beans. Nearby office workers drop in for lunch or coffee or both; some are sitting in a [...]

I don’t know if you have been to the old Southend Brewery lately, but it has been transformed.
Prime Only Steak, Seafood and Sashimi Bar has taken over the space and completely remodeled the old brewpub into a trendy, downtown Raleigh hotspot. It is located in Raleigh’s Powerhouse Square, just off of Glenwood South at 505 [...]

Often on Raleighing, we will post all the new and exciting places to visit in Raleigh. Unfortunately, we tend to forget about the classics. By happenstance, I found myself on Hillsborough Street tonight and took a stroll down memory lane to Mitch’s Tavern.

Touting themselves as “one of the truly great barbeque companies in America” an employee at the North Raleigh location said that they [...]

I’m a huge fan of Thai food and when a co-worker suggested we try Viva Thai I didn’t need much persuasion. Viva Thai is in a strip mall shopping center off of Maynard in Cary – an area that has a quite varied array of international offerings. It’s a sort of no frills atmosphere but [...]

Pretty frequently I get a powerful taste for collards. I love ‘em. Now my grandma used to make good collards the old fashioned way: slow cooked in a big cast iron skillet with a streak o’lean and a streak o’fat. I should probably clarify that I assume they were good. When I was a [...]

Char-grill which is a Raleigh original (they even say so on their site) is bringing their char-burgers to Cary. Details don’t seem to be available on the Char-grill site, but I have seen a sign by the new Fresh Market on Cary Parkway announcing Char-grill is opening soon. Although I do admit that I’m [...]
