A gem of a find, especially the day after a
party! Handmade artisanal burgers cooked to
order and topped with a
huge range of possibilities—guacamole, wasabi
mayo, a fried egg—the
list goes on and on! They
also have a remarkable
selection of craft beer. But
the best thing to order is
the homemade barbeque
potato chips, hot from the
fryer. Oh, my!

Tiny but friendly spot in
the Plantation Shopping

Typical Middle Eastern
cuisine but it’s worth the
drive from Dilworth to

sample the crusty, hot,
garlicky, herby falafel—
best I’ve ever had—along
with the smoky baba
ganoush, hummus and
super thin grilled pita.

It’s so much fun to dine
communally with your
friends around a pretty,
round tray containing
a selection of spicy
to mild stews, some
vegetarian. The fresh
sourdough scent from
the bubbly brown injera
bread with which you
scoop is addictive.

My go-to place for
unusual, reasonablypriced gifts and home
decor. Everything from
mid-century-look lighting and furniture to very
naughty greeting cards.

Go for the amazing
selection of sterling

by NC artists—or for the
funky, interesting shoes
