Gianluca's Guidebook
Great music
From May to August, every Saturday night there is a free concert and farmer’s market in this revitalized Mill Town. Visit the beautiful Haw river, rent a kayak, take a hike, and eat at one of the two amazing local restaurants, the Eddy and the General Store. There’s a local brewery, a butcher shop, and the haw river ballroom which has some exceptional shows. For families, there is a little park on an island in the middle of the Haw River. A small museum with local history was recently opened. It’s only a twenty-minute drive.

Chapel Hill’s best bookstore. Cozy atmosphere, great kids’ section, smart & witty staff recommendations, and an excellent selection of books and merchandise. Right next door to Root Cellar to grab a quick bite. Just a quick walk from the apartment.
