Wing and waffle fries are really all many people need in life and Heavenly Buffaloes is there to cater to your every need. They even consider vegetarians, vegans, and anyone with an aversion to chicken with an incredible meatless wing!"

"Opened only since Feb 2017, this family-owned restaurant is a great addition to the vegan scene in Durham. This cafe prides itself on bringing “down home” and “soul” tastes to vegan goods. Whether or not you stay for dessert, make sure you try their 100% vegan entree menu, consisting of diner favorites like mac & cheese, corn bread, collard greens, and jerk chicken."

"Finally, head to the International Civil Rights Museum, housed in a building that played host to a non-violent sit-in protest in the civil rights movement. As the name betrays, this museum contains exhibits from the civil rights movement, teaching visitors about the brave individuals who were monumental in the fight for human rights. Admission to this museum costs $15 for adults and $12 for seniors, $10 for those between 6 and 12 years, and $8 for kids below 5 years."

"Although there are several museums to visit in Greensboro, one that you should not miss is the International Civil Rights Center & Museum. This is a collecting museum and an archival center that is also a teaching facility. The focus of this fascinating attraction is the struggle for civil and human rights, both nationally and internationally."

"Part artists’ collective, part quirky art gallery, part workshop, part educational facility, the Elsewhere living art museum is perhaps the piece de resistance of Greensboro’s new artistic wave. Inhabiting a former thrift store on Elm Streen in the downtown, the spot offers an eclectic range of exhibitions and shows throughout the year. The idea is to get the public thinking about reclaimed and recycled materials in a whole new way, and the resident artists here have worked hard to craft a new aesthetic philosophy, using at-hand, often mundane and found objects to create thought-provoking works that tell a story."

"Elsewhere, a museum and artist residency set inside a former thrift store in downtown Greensboro, received an Art Works grant from the National Endowment for the Arts in early 2019."

"College students watch their money, so take a note from them and visit Cosmic Cantina off Ninth Street by Duke University. Cosmic claims to be the “Best Mexican Food on the Planet” which sets a high bar!. You can order just about anything off the menu and stay well within budget."

"Tyler’s is my go-to stop before attending a Durham Bulls baseball game across the street. With 66 beers on tap, there’s something for everyone—but be sure to check out the inside bar for the full selection. Why you should go: Grab a beer in the Biergarten before a game, enjoy dinner inside, or play pool in the Speakeasy."

"You’ll find delicious food, craft brews, and spirit-filled drinks at Parts & Labor, which pairs nicely with the amazing Motorco Music Hall. Here, you’ll find an eclectic menu that landed P&L among our favorite casual restaurants in Durham. Whether you’re chowing down on marsala poutine, veggie samosas, or their delicious udon salad, the laid back vibe, this place perfectly accompanies all the great music that comes through Motorco!"

"Parts and Labor serves food truck-like fare that you can eat in their garage bar or at the picnic tables on their patio. We love their small plates that are available at affordable prices. So you can get a quick afternoon snack or get several different items like german pretzels, beer battered cheese curds, and cheese burger sliders."
