I'll admit, seeing so many chain restaurants and strip malls near our apartment in Durham has left us reminiscing about the one-of-a-kind shops in Manhattan. But, as we learned this weekend, the things we loved about New York (city walks, unique characters, love of life) can be found in any town--if you know where to look.
We spent Sunday afternoon in downtown Chapel Hill enjoying the back-to-school excitement as students geared up for the fall semester. Brunch at 411 West (a popular Italian cafe on Franklin Street) then a long walk through downtown Chapel Hill and UNC's campus allowed me to enjoy what I miss about New York--with a Southern flavor.
Back patio at 411 West. We ate at the back, right table.Keeping a blog this summer turned out to be a real treat for us. We love looking back over all the pictures, arranged like a giant time line, and remembering the fun. It looks like we may keep the blog up for a while longer...
