While they are for sure a powerful trio, there are plenty of reasons to visit just Raleigh. It\u2019s a destination in its own right. Last year 15 million visitors came to Raleigh, despite having not a beach or mountain in sight.

To say that downtown was once sleepy is polite. What was \u201cdead\u201d just a few years ago has morphed into a hip hub, one where folks not only hang out after work, but also on weekends. What happened? Duke Energy sold to Red Hat, Citrix moved from the suburbs to downtown and HQ Raleigh, a startup incubator, sprang up. The Warehouse District, a major piece of downtown, has been revitalized with many old red brick buildings repurposed. Investments in apartments, condos, mixed-use developments followed, as did a slew of restaurants, bars and music venues.

It\u2019s on historic Moore Square park downtown, and you could spend hours there. It\u2019s a brewery, dim sum restaurant, flower shop and bookstore. Pick out a book and relax at the long tables and sip a brew. <strong>Whiskey Kitchen<\/strong> is a little bit country and a lot whiskey. Get set for some of the best fried green tomatoes with pimento cheese and pea tendrils, boiled peanuts with pickled peppers, lamb burgers, shrimp rolls and more in the site of a former automotive shop. <strong>Garland<\/strong>, meanwhile, is a tasty mashup of Indian and Pan-Asian fusion and craft cocktails.
