The New York Times planned a 36-hour itinerary for Raleigh, including our best parks, restaurants, and sightseeing. How does their itinerary compare to yours?
Mansion Monday
This 110-year-old Forest Park home is one of our favorites in the 919 — and it’s for sale. We’ve already fallen in love with its old-meets-new design — see it for yourself.
Seasonal
No. 7. That’s where Raleigh ranked on the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America’s list of the worst US cities for allergies this year. The list factored in pollen scores, over-the-counter allergy medicine use, and availability of board-certified allergists and immunologists.
Stat
Raleigh is the No. 2 rental hotspot for Gen Z housing, according to a study from RentCafe. The study found 93,877 Gen Z renter households in 2023.
Outdoors
An annual census of migratory monarch butterflies found that, while their numbers slightly increased last year, they are still at risk of extinction. Add native plants to your garden to give our winged friends a helping hand before their next migration — you can find them in Raleigh at Logan’s Garden Shop.
Ranked
No. 14. That’s where North Carolina landed on WalletHub’s list of the most innovative states. From snack companies to beverage brands, Raleigh helps fuel that innovation with 20+ products made here.

Have you tried FRESH Local Ice Cream‘s Biscoff flavor? Invented in Belgium in 1932, Biscoff cookies are reaching new heights in popularity.
You may have seen recipes and menu items featuring the vegan-friendly cookie on your social media feeds, and we’ve found some around Raleigh to get you involved in the tasty action:
Ammi’s in Seaboard Station has a Biscoff tiramisu in addition to its wide array of Indian desserts
Raleigh Rolls makes the trend local with the Benelux Biscoffee, made with Benelux coffee and Biscoff cookies.
Get a stack of decadent pancakes with Biscoff cookie crumbles and spread at Drift on Wade Avenue.
I loved that New York Times piece about Raleigh — and it was eerily similar to my itinerary when family came to town a few weeks ago. Great minds think alike.
