One of our favorite ambiances in the city, this beautiful seafood place has the food to match. If it's nice out, try to sit on the patio. Great cocktails.

One of our all-time favorites, Bida Manda does call-ahead pickup if you're too tired to go out but want to experience some of Raleigh's best food. If you do decide to dine in, we love eating at the bar. Hot tip: the pork soup accounts for 1/3 of the restaurant's total revenue for a reason.

If you're downtown at the Convention Center, nearby bakery favorite Lucettegrace does an amazing to-go lunchbox where you choose a sandwich, side and sweet treat for $12ish. Katie does this more often than she'd like to admit...

A super casual blue-plate special breakfast kinda place. You can see every type of person all enjoying the local breakfast place. They hand-knead biscuits every morning and you'll want to ask for them grilled.

An adorable doughnut shop with perfectly delicious doughnuts and coffee. Try the chocolate with sprinkles - crispy and not too sweet, exactly how a doughnut should be.

Note: This is now at 307 West Martin Street. Women's clothes, gifts and jewelry - all with a larger purpose. Every brand that is carried in the shop does good in the world somehow. Great style and reasonable to medium prices.
