As the sun starts to sink, find your way to the rooftop at Unscripted Durham. It’s a hotel bar, but it feels like a secret party. The string lights come on, and you can see the whole city skyline, the Duke Chapel in the distance, and all the cars below looking like tiny fireflies.
Order a local beer from Durty Bull Brewing and just sit there. You’ll overhear a couple on a first date debating whether the moon looks bigger here than in Raleigh. (Spoiler: it doesn’t, but it feels like it.)
