The Cotton Room
Wedding venue
😐 Beautiful space. The all-inclusive aspect is really nice when considering a wedding venue! The open house I attended had great food and decor. However, I was initially quoted $40 per person as a service charge to use an outside caterer (heads up if Indian food is a nonnegotiable), then that chang...

The Boot Room
Sandwich shop
👍👍 If you’re a soccer fanatic like myself, you MUST go and check this place out. The entire place screams football. From jerseys and scarfs, to framed pictures of football legends from all eras hanging on walls everywhere. I didn’t go there during a game but I can only imagine how would this place look...

👍👍 Newly opened wine/beer bar and bottle shop in the quickly developing Geer St. row that includes boxcar, Hutchins garage, choice tattoo etc. (they’ve coined the phrase, “ink and drink” but never the other way round).

Durham Agricultural Fair Association
Fairground
👍 Nice, family oriented fair. BETTER than the Big E! Good fair food, prices vary by vendor. Hit the permanent outbuildings, they are mostly local non profits and have the most reasonable food prices.
Rides are 1.50 a ticket, most are 4 or 5 tix per ride. Midway games a bit steep at 5 to 10 bucks p...

Shortly after moving to the area, we signed up for the wine club and have loved getting to try new wines every month that...
