Media Continue to Rave About Durham

This week Durham has caught the attention of several major national publications like The New York Times, Garden & Gun, Bon Appetit, and The New Yorker with its spate of notable restaurants and features.


Garden & Gun readers lauded popular Durham burger restaurants Bull City Burger and Only Burger as having the "South's Best Burgers."

The New York Times visited Durham's Central Park District in "A Corner of Durham, N.C., Comes to Life." Places featured included The Pit, Geer St. Garden, Fullsteam Brewery, Cocoa Cinnamon and Motorco Music Hall.

Durham's Rose's Meat Market and Sweet Shop was recognized among Bon Appetit's "50 Nominees for America's Best New Restaurants 2014." The publication was particularly impressed with the spring onion sausage wrapped in puff pastry and the hot pastrami with fried potatoes. The top ten will be announced August 19.

The New Yorker profiled a Durham-based photography project, which documented the Durham Bulls' 2013 season in a book, "Bull City Summer." North Carolina writer Sam Stephenson led the project that focused on the world-famous Triple-A team.

Rose's Meat Market and Sweet Shop Coming to Downtown Durham

Durham continues to emerge as a food lovers haven as the community makes ready for its first meat market and sweet shop combo!

Rose's Meat Market and Sweet Shop will focus on nose-to-tail butchery of locally raised meats from sustainable farms, charcuterie, house-made baked goods, and more.  The owners, Katie and Justin Meddis, who moved here from San Francisco to open their business, have landed prime real estate and signed a lease at 121 North Gregson Street Durham, NC 27701, the former home of Clear-Vue Glass. Rose's will be in the front showroom.  Rose's is within walking distance to Brightleaf Square shopping, around the corner from Respite, next door to The Retreat and down the block from Alivia’s.  There will be plenty of parking available in front and next to the Retreat as well.  Rose's hopes to open in June.

Rose's has launched a Kickstarter campaign to help raise money for the project.  There will also be a Kickstarter party at The Pinhook 117 West Main Street Durham 27701 on April 28th from 7 pm-10 pm.
