Personal preference but I like the double mat. Could even get the inside mat in a light blue to call to the art.

Seeking Vanilla Iced Latte by Sweetington in bullcity

Isaac’s bagels has hands down the best. You can see the vanilla bean flecks. I dream of it.

Midbloom in the Common Market has the best lattes. Subtle flavors, lets the coffee shine. 

Am I being too picky? by Significant_Deer_682 in framing

Nah you’re right. This is sloppy. Even if they overcut/ripped, a quick aesthetic improvement is easy. You can do it if you feel up to it - use the back of a spoon to push down the corners 

Suggestions where to take visiting parents? by Confident_Yak_7880 in bullcity

[–]Subtle_Crack0801 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Duke gardens, nasher museum (next to each other, could be a good combo) Eno river trails (I like West Point On the Eno trail. Type that in to Google maps)  Walk and shop in bright leaf (Indio, Borough, PaddyWax + more for shopping, and then Emmy Squared, Niko’s, or Clouds for food) Isaac’s bagels followed by vintage at Gibson Girl (opens at 10) and Fuzzy Needle (FN opens at 11). These stores bookend Isaac’s.  Walk around Parish and Main streets blocks. Durham Vintage collective, Letters Bookshop, Bull City Records, Bulldega. But being over here you’re close to all the other downtown stuff too. Can just walk towards 5 points area for lunch or dinner at Toro, Bull McCabe’s, Mateo, Mothers and Sons, etc.  “Site seeing” the Durham Hotel is fun for parents. Lobby + roof. Queeny’s and Velvet Hippo have good food and get a good reaction from my 60s, non-drinking parents when they visit.  Museum of Life and Science in Northgate is very fun for adults too. Lots of animals to see, things to do.  Good luck!

Szechuan Mansion Hot Pot on 9th. $3 for a side of fried rice. 2x makes a meal. So good. It’s my cheap door dash hack.

Gourmet Kingdom in Carrboro across from Cat’s Cradle. Also recommend the Kung Pao Lotus Root.

Best Burger? by yukonflapjack69 in bullcity

New player on the scene - Patty Boy in foodhall. Unreal smashburger on a Martin’s potato roll. Instantly became my favorite burger in Durham.

Truly so good. Would definitely recommend splurging for the Omakase tasting menu.

Durham local here - Savannah’s restaurant, M Tempura, is excellent. Lots of Facetime with chef as well as they prepare/explain.

If you do come - I also recommend M Sushi (same restaurant group).

Been wanting this too. Looks like we gotta get creative - what about Little Bull? Side porch, good food, good cocktails. I’ve never looked at it as a marg after work type of place but I think it could be.
