Home Β» Travel Β» Visit Raleigh Β» Itineraries. Locals are eager to explore this, too! Our friends Colleen and Phil from Scottsdale recently visited Raleigh to see what all our fussing was about.
Colleen runs the travel site, Travel Mamas and Grown Up Getaways and hoped to craft content on Raleigh focused on adult fun and farm to table experiences. What do you do in Raleigh with one day? Our latest dining obsession is Press Coffee on Hillsborough S t in downtown Raleigh, like been-there-three-times-in-three-weeks obsessed. Shout it from the rooftops: all crepes can be made gluten free! You can walk around the outside of the Capitol building or if you have time, and its open, tour the inside.
Near here is Freedom Park , a newly developed urban green space dedicated to the fight for freedom and equality. We did a tour when sharing the Best of Raleigh with my parents and loved it. This beloved Raleigh restaurant is known for its commitment to sustainability and its ever-evolving menu that caters to a variety of dietary preferences, including vegan and vegetarian , and gluten-free.
While they were stuffing their bellies with delicious Southern dishes like fried green tomatoes, fried chicken and waffles, and watermelon and feta salad we also recommend the shrimp and grits.
Craig and I waited in our latest favorite coffee shop: Little Native and did some work. We rejoined our friends after their lunch to show them around the Warehouse District, an area that has transformed from industrial to innovative, now filled with art galleries, boutiques, and restaurants. As you wander through the Warehouse District, stop for photo opportunities at the many murals that brighten up the streets.
