Restaurant Ideas

We took the advice given and booked the downtown Sheraton for our one night getaway. Thanks to all that helped with that! We will be attending a concert at Memorial Hall. That leads me to wondering where we should eat that would be walking distance from the hotel. We aren%26#39;t really looking for a particular type of food just a good quality place that we can eat and have a few drinks and will keep us in walking distance of the hotel/concert venue.

Thanks!

If you will be there during lunch and want to try some NC BBQ, try Clyde Coopers BBQ (109 E Davie St). For some drinks, there are some local music dives close to the Sheraton, The Pourhouse (224 S Blount St, has a decent tap selection and local bands), Lincoln Theatre (126 E Cabarrus St), Tir Na Nog (218 S Blount St, Irish pub, decent food), Duck and Dumpling (222 S Blount St, good Asian food, more upscale than the others) and Cafe Luna, italian food, decent, some people love it some people dont care for it.

There%26#39;s a good deal within walking from the downtown Sheraton %26amp; Memorial Auditorium.

Yancey%26#39;s, a cajun/southern fare place with live music is across Fayetteville Street from the hotel. Further up Fayetteville Street is another cajun/creole placed called The Big Easy. Also up Fayetteville Street is Crema for tasty ice cream %26amp; coffee.

A couple blocks east is the Moore Square/City Market district with several great offerings. Duck %26amp; Dumpling (pan-Asian), Cafe Luna (Italian), Vic%26#39;s (Italian), Mo%26#39;s (eclectic American), Wild Ginger (Thai %26amp; sushi), Tony%26#39;s Winebar, and Fins (fancy seafood) are among the notable offerings in that area.

To the north/northeast of the hotel, there%26#39;s Riviera for really good Meditteranean food. Also nearby is Raleigh Times, a really popular pub...and Morning Times which is probably one of the best coffee houses around.

To the west of the hotel, there%26#39;s a good few offerings in the Warehouse District (although it%26#39;s more known for its nightclubs). Nana%26#39;s Chophouse has steaks and such...and Humble Pie is known for great tapas (as well as the city%26#39;s best Sunday Brunch IMO). Also the Borough, which is a nice neighborhood bar/pub.
