Neighborhood Guide: Downtown
nearDuke’s video preview of Downtown. Produced by Pitch Story Lab.
With entertainment, restaurants, breweries, and every sort of novelty right at your doorstep, residents are never bored in Downtown Durham. Durham’s freshest urban vibe intermingles with the city’s rich history, so there’s an option for every kind of interest.
Activities
Sports fans will be thrilled by the proximity of the Durham Bulls stadium, housed within the reworked factory turned entertainment hub, American Tobacco Campus.
Also found in the ATC is the Durham Performing Arts Center. The DPAC (pronounced “Dee-Pack” by the locals) offers concerts, musicals, lectures, comedy, and even culinary shows.
Know what Diana Ross, drag queens Trixie and Katya, and Beetlejuice have in common? They’ve all performed (or will perform) at the DPAC!
Food & Drink
Downtown is also a wonderland for foodies. Righ near “Major,” Durham’s 10-foot-tall bull sculpture, is beloved ice cream shop The Parlour for a little something sweet.
But what about something savory, you ask? Don’t worry, because M Sushi and M Kokko are just a few feet away for fans of sushi and Korean cuisine!
For more of that pub aesthetic, eat, drink, play, and be merry at Boxcar Bar + Arcade. Or explore Durham Food Hall for a market-like experience, located on Downtown’s edge in Old North Durham.
Or maybe you love to cook, and you’re looking for fresh ingredients. If so, pick up some produce at the Durham Farmers Market, all of which is grown no more than 70 miles away.
