When I think about Chapel Hill and all the tasty, tasty food there, Pepper's is always is one of the first restaurants that comes to mind.  It is definitely the best pizza joint in town.  The slices are cheap and quick, and can be a filling meal if…More »

I kind of want to cry into a $2 Tecate thinking back at all the time I've spent here and the associated memories.  Even if I didn't see this place through such nostalgic eyes, I'd still really like it - it's just a great venue.  

It's a fantastic…More »

This just might be the thing I miss most about Chapel Hill/Carrboro.  And that's saying a lot!

They have used books stacked from floor to ceiling, all nicely categorized for you.  My problem with a lot of used book places is that it's fun to browse…More »

What is going on in Chapel Hill, ya'll!?  My Pantone 278 colored soul is getting ripped apart here.  I guess Nightlight (http://www.nightlightc...) is continuing to hold events though, so there's that silver lining.

R.I.P. Skylight.  This one's for…More »

This was one of my favorite restaurants in Carrboro when I lived in the area.  The food is excellent, there are a lot of vegetarian options though my favorite meal there was always the Tree Chicken.  Appetizers are very nice as well.  The dessert…More »

Chinese buffets are always touch and go for me, I never know if I'm going to leave satisfied or with a belly full of nothing but the fried rice.  I think this buffet is great, lots of tasty American Chinese food.  I think I have only had to wait for…More »

Cosmic, te amo.  Allow me to count the ways:

Uno: Quick service, they're already warming the tortilla for your burrito before you've even gotten your change.

Dos: Chicken nachos with fresh salsa, black beans, and white cheese.  Fatty boom batty…More »

The down and dirty on this thrift store:

- Tons of glassware
- Good place for furniture if you're willing to haul it yourself
- Decent selection of books, sometimes decent on vinyl…More »

This is definitely Gourmet with a capital G, baby.  Amazing selection of upscale foods from around the globe.  I love to browse the tea and condiment sections to see what unusual items I could treat myself with when I've had a bad day.  The chocolate…More »

I had the best grilled cheese sandwich of my life here.  I haven't been able to perfect it myself or find it anywhere else.  It's convenient if you're shopping or hanging out in the area and you want something a little nicer than Elmo's or Weaver…More »
