In print and online, Indy Week is the free weekly newspaper for the Triangle area. Formerly the…read moreIndependent Weekly but no more since 2012, it's a tabloid-format newspaper for Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill and Cary. Available for pickup at more than 500 locations in the Raleigh Durham area, the circulation runs at around 200,000 according to the website. News, arts, music, food, events, this paper is plugged in to what's happening locally. I can't recall where I found my copy but I did manage to enjoy it. Interesting news about the area, specifically the "death-positivity movement" was an amusing read. And they have a crossword. That's awesome. Letters to the editor, classifieds, and a guide to the best of the Triangle. I'm a fan! [Review 12277 overall, 2061 of 2019.]

The Independent is about halfway between the News & Observer and the Carrboro Citizen in terms of…read moretone... They're independent, sure, but that doesn't mean everything they report on involves hemp. I like the Independent because it's thoroughly useful. There really isn't a page in the thing that doesn't have some sort of relevant report on what's going on around me, particularly in regards to concerts and other entertainment. Any time I've said in another review to keep your eye on something, this is a good tool for doing just that, they're extremely well connected. The one exception to this are their reviews, which I often take issue with... Unless you have strong past experience to go on, don't trust their opinions on movies and shows, chances are you'll disagree.

The name says it all. Tiny is a little shop with items for babies and toddlers. There's a decent…read moreselection of clothing and toys. It's more high-end than department stores but you're probably getting better quality. We've popped in a few times when in the neighborhood but weren't necessarily shopping for any particular item. Still, we prefer to shop local when we can so if we need any baby items, we'll consider Tiny.

Stopped by Tiny in Durham and really liked it, the shop is bright, clean, and thoughtfully curated…read morewith a great selection of children's books, toys, clothing, and unique gifts. They also carry Jellycats when in stock, and prices seem to vary by item, with many of the merchandise falling around the mid-$20s to high-$30s. The staff were very friendly and lovely to talk to, and it's a great place to find a thoughtful gift for baby's and kids!!

Escaping the Durham heat led us straight into the wonderfully chill vibes at Hunky Dory, and…read morehonestly, it was exactly the kind of Sunday reset we needed. The $5 Sunday beer selection made settling in dangerously easy. I ended up having three cups of Tangie Dream from Incendiary Brewing Company -- a crisp, citrusy witbier that absolutely hit the spot at 5.2% ABV. Super refreshing and wildly drinkable. Even though I don't own a record player, I could've spent forever flipping through the vinyl collection just soaking in the nostalgia. There's something deeply comforting about browsing old records with a cold beer in hand while hiding from the North Carolina humidity. Hunky Dory feels like the kind of neighborhood spot you wish every city had.

The stuff of many an audiophile-beer geek's dreams: A record store that's also a beer bar! My…read morehusband is a huge fan of both music on vinyl and craft beer, so obviously it was one of our first stops upon moving to Durham. It feels like a real community space with folks of all ages and walks of life gathering to talk, share a drink, play a game, or just spend time together. Mimi, the beertender, was very friendly and this place also allows visitors of the canine sort. The beer selection looked to be good, with a number of styles and breweries represented. It's especially nice to see NA options on tap as well as regular beer! The vinyl selection similarly did not disappoint, and we did make a few great purchases.

If you have out-of-town visitors, would recommend bringing them here for souvenirs. The shop has 2 floors housing different genres; the top floor also has some seating. I think I saw they have some drinks for sale as well. It also seems like they have pretty regular events on a weekly basis (book clubs and the like), so I'm excited to go back for one of those in the future. Fast service, great ambiance. Free parking on weekends and weekdays after 7pm in nearby city of Durham garages. 10/10 would recommend!
