NC State University, Raleigh : Laptop Friendly Study Spots near campus
It’s no surprise that a campus has plenty of good places to study. 😆 But for non-students, or for times when campus is closed, it’s helpful to know about places where you can study or work without needing campus Wi-Fi or an NC State affiliation. I u...
This is one of my go-to places on NC State’s main campus, right on Hillsborough Street. It is lively, convenient, and still easy enough to settle in and get some work done.
Red Line Raleigh
Whenever I am on NC State’s main campus, this is one of my go-to places. It has a cozy, calming atmosphere where I can sit quietly, read a book, or get some work done. It feels almost meditative, especially when I need a little break from the lab. Th...
Global Village Organic Coffee
This is my favorite place in Raleigh to hunt for little treasures. I love treating myself to a few books, taking my time browsing the shelves, and then sitting in the outdoor seating area to turn the first few pages of my new finds. It is such a simp...

Uber Eats or DoorDash Don't Have These : Raleigh Foods
A personal collection of Raleigh dishes we eat regularly, crave constantly, and happily leave the house for. They may not appear on Uber Eats or DoorDash, but they have definitely earned a permanent place in our routine.

Almadina Market
Another place we absolutely love, and our Ethiopian friend confirmed that the food tastes like home. This restaurant has become one of our Raleigh favorites, and we keep going back for the beef tibs and vegetarian combo.
Spoiler alert: this meal is ...
Nafkot Ethiopian Restaurant
Another grocery store with a hidden gem at the food corner: homemade Vietnamese food! I especially love their freshly made steamed buns. Soft, warm, and made every day, they are always worth stopping for. Definitely give them a try!
Grand Asia Market
H Mart has some of the best Korean food around. Honestly, I don’t even need to say anything else. 😆 Just go and tryyyyy!
H Mart Cary
Every NC State student knows about this place. But hey, I promised to share everything we love that you cannot find on Doordash/Uber Eats! 😁
You can enjoy fresh ice cream while meeting the cows who helped make it. Yes, you can actually see them in ...
