Red Robin, Firehouse Subs (Anonymous's favorite subs), Starbucks (yes, there is one on every corner here), etc. This is right across the street from New Hope Commons, so use those directions.
More food
4600 Durham Chapel Hill BlvdDurham, NC, United States
(919) 489-5942
Here you'll find Bojangles, which is a must-have if you've never experienced it...they do fried chicken and biscuits right...I recommend it for a not-so-healthy, but well worth it breakfast. Also here is On the Border, and Chili's.
Outback and Kanki
Mt. Moriah Rd and Ladle Dr.Durham, NC
I think everyone knows Outback Steakhouse, but Kanki is a Japanese hibachi-style restaurant that's one of our favorites...check out the huge aquarium inside.
Panera Bread
3603 Witherspoon BlvdDurham, NC, United States
(919) 419-6300
Panera Bread is a very yummy, yet inexpensive place to get good sandwiches, paninis, soups, salads, baked goods, and pastries. They have pretty good bagels and a whole breakfast menu, too. Wireless internet access is free here.
Renaissance Center
6800 Fayetteville RoadDurham, NC 27713
Across from Southpoint mall, this is an all outdoor shopping center where you'll find places to eat such as P.F. Chang's China Bistro, Chili's, The Melting Pot, Ted's Montana Grill, Moe's (fast and fresh tex-mex), Starbucks, and more.
The Streets at Southpoint

Entertainment
Durham Bulls Baseball Stadium
409 Blackwell StDurham, NC, United States
The Bulls are Durham's historic and beloved AAA minor league professional baseball team that were once featured in a classic movie called Bull Durham, starring Kevin Costner. Fans keep the stadium filled for most games, and tickets are very cheap. If you're here early and looking for something to past the time, check out their schedule.
Attraction
Washington Duke Inn & Golf Club
3001 Cameron BlvdDurham, NC, United States
(919) 490-0999
This luxury hotel has a lot to offer even if you aren't staying here. The "Wash-Duke" as people at Duke like to call it, boasts a championship golf course and some very fine (albeit expensive) four-diamond dining opportunities. The Fairview is their main restaurant, and the Vista Restaurant is a casual kiosk-style eaterie that lets you eat the same fabulous food at much lower prices. Get a drink and some light food fare at the Bull Durham Bar (yes, the movie is about this Durham), and check out their afternoon high tea service...it's possibly the best you'll find this side of the pond.
