“I like to start the day with a long run around Woodcroft and Third Fork Creek Trail, followed by a seaweed everything bagel slathered in vegan scallion cream cheese from Everything Bagels. Then I like to make my way around the local breweries, enjoying a Summer Jam sour from Barrel Culture or a classic pilsner from Ponysaurus, and conclude the day with pasta from Mothers & Sons or dim sum from Hong Kong Chinese Restaurant.” “I’ve been meaning to do a oneday whirlwind tour of boutique secondhand shops like Gibson Girl Vintage, MODE Consignment, Dolly’s Vintage and Once & Again Consignment Gallery.”

“My quintessential day starts with a food truck rodeo at Durham Central Park with the family. In the evening, I like to head to The Honeysuckle at Lakewood for dinner and dessert at The Parlour.”

“I hit the American Tobacco Trail for a good bike ride or run and then grab a coffee at The Oak House Durham or Foster Street Coffee. For lunch, I’ll ride my bike to Ninth Street and land at one of the breweries in town, or drive over to Boxyard RTP. I’d finish out the day with a downtown dinner tour – from Alley Twenty Six and COPA to The Durham Hotel rooftop and Viceroy – for a taste of the town. I’d then swing by Corpse Reviver for a nightcap before heading home, or indulge in a staycation at 21c Museum Hotel.”

“Brunch at Guglhupf or Jack Tar a stroll through Sarah P. Duke Gardens and then hop over to the Nasher Museum of Art at Duke University to take in a dynamic art exhibit an early dinner at NanaSteak, Pizzeria Toro or M Sushi and then a concert or movie at The Carolina Theatre and drinks at Bar Virgile to finish up the night.”

“I had a quintessential Durham day just recently! I enjoyed a morning perusing the galleries at the Durham Arts Council while my daughter attended ballet class before we visited the Durham Farmers Market for a loaf of bread, farm-cut veggies and, of course, a treat of hot chocolate – which we sipped between bouts of sliding at Mount Merrill playground and catching up with old friends who we ran into.”

Mission Statement

Safe Families for Children hosts vulnerable children and creates extended family–like supports for desperate families through a community of devoted volunteers who are motivated by compassion to keep children safe and families together.

Background

Safe Families for Children is a volunteer driven movement that gives hope and support to families who need help in the greater Raleigh / Durham area. SFFC reframes how families are supported during a crisis.

Safe Families is always looking for volunteers to join our movement of families serving families. • Host Families open their homes for a short period of time to care for children. • Family Friends provide encouragement and support to parents or host families. • Family Coaches walk alongside parents to help them reach their goals and support volunteers. • Resource Friends give tangible items or professional services to parents and host families. • Become a Safe Families Church to build a network of families serving families.

DPAC typically hosts more than 200 performances a year (totaling more than 2,350 in its existence), including touring Broadway productions, high-profile concerts and comedy events, and family shows.

Durham Roots Bear BULL City Fruits Durham’s boldness is built on a history of inclusion and innovation. Durham has always dared to be different, from the time of its establishment before the Civil War through the Industrial Revolution and the civil rights movement to a present-day vibrant economy. Durham continues to grow and produce an openness and defiance that shapes the fruit of its future, thanks to its strong roots that run deep. Durham’s antebellum past was home to rural farms and one of the largest plantations in the South, Historic Stagville. Today it is preserved as a monument to history, and the state historic site contains

18th- and 19th-century houses, enslaved people’s living quarters and a unique barn. Free tours and regular special events unfurl the plantation’s history and effect on African American culture.

Blackwell later merged with several other brands to form the American Tobacco Company, the largest in the world. The bull remained as the company’s signature of authenticity, and Durham became known as the Bull City. Bennett Place, another of Durham’s three state historic sites, memorializes the largest troop surrender of the Civil War, which marked the beginning of the end of the war.

STAYCATION

Alisha Verwayae and Brittany Whelan take a dip in Unscripted Durham’s rooftop pool.

Morehead Manor Bed & Breakfast, Durham’s oldest Black-owned lodging property, opened to the public back in 1997. The Colonial Revival-style home, which was originally built for the CEO of Liggett & Myers Tobacco Co., has been refurbished with modern amenities by innkeepers Daniel Edwards and Monica Edwards. It’s located within walking distance of downtown, the Durham Bulls Athletic Park, the Durham Performing Arts Center, the American Tobacco Trail and the historic Brightleaf District.

Boutique Stays at the Center of it All Conveniently located in the heart of downtown, three of Durham’s boutique hotels offer something unique. Park your car and take advantage of the walkability of downtown for an entire weekend. Stay at the 21c Museum Hotel and stroll through the thoughtprovoking contemporary art museum with a handcrafted cocktail in hand after dining at the Counting House restaurant. The former bank building is on the National Register of Historic Places and still has a vault you can explore in the basement. The Durham Hotel features a striking midcentury modern design and unbeatable views of the city at its rooftop bar, The Roof at The Durham, which offers shared plates and thoughtfully crafted beverages. The new American restaurant has received national acclaim for its curated seasonal dishes. Make sure to grab a signature coffee soda from the hotel’s coffee shop before heading out to take on the day.

Unscripted Durham is the newest boutique hotel to open in the Bull City and features a rooftop pool, iconic blue façade and a midcentury design. Check the website and plan your staycation around one of the programmed evenings, like “Sounds of the Studio” every Friday and Saturday evening with favorite local DJs or weekly happy hours with specialty cocktails at The Studio. When you stay at these properties, you’re only a few steps away from many of Durham’s delicious and unique places to eat, plus one-of-a-kind arts and entertainment venues. Search “Downtown Durham Walking Tour” or “Public Art & Inspiration Guide” on discoverdurham.com for some fun ways to explore the city when you have a few hours or an entire afternoon.

Escape the Bustle Resting on six acres of gardens and lawns, the historic Arrowhead Inn Bed and Breakfast is just a 15-minute drive north of downtown. Reserve a room in the Manor House or escape to the Garden Cottage or secluded North Carolina Cabin. Further remove yourself from the downtown bustle by spending a morning or afternoon outdoors at the nearby Eno River State Park, Lake Michie, Falls Lake or Historic Stagville – the latter being one of three state historic sites located in Durham County. Complete your stay by enjoying a meal at nearby favorite restaurants, including Bleu Olive, Gocciolina, Bullock’s Bar-B-Cue and Picnic.

City of Medicine The city’s moniker is more accurate than ever

urham has a reputation for outstanding health care. The nickname “City of Medicine” has its origins in the creation of BC Headache Powder by two local pharmacists in 1906. Fast forward 116 years, and our physician-to-population ratio is more than four times the national average, and in 2021, Business Facilities named this area the No. 2 top health care hub for mid-sized cities in the country. Jobs in health care and social services make up nearly a third of the workforce, with Duke University & Health System as Durham’s largest employer. How did we earn renown for healing? It helps that our hospitals are top-notch. U.S. News & World Report named Duke University Hospital as the best hospital in North Carolina for 2021-2022. It is nationally ranked in 11 adult and nine pediatric specialties and is rated high performing in 16 procedures and conditions. Duke is the cornerstone of Durham’s health hub, operating Duke Children’s Hospital, Duke Regional Hospital, Duke Cancer Institute, Lenox Baker Children’s Hospital and smaller practices across the city. Duke Children’s Hospital ranked among the top 50 children’s medical centers nationally and retained its position at No. 1 in North Carolina, according to U.S. News & World Report. And for the first time in 2021, the magazine included a regional ranking as well, with Duke tied for No. 3 in the Southeast. The North Carolina Specialty Hospital also provides great care, while the Durham Veterans Administration Hospital serves more than 200,000 veterans from across 27 counties in central and eastern North Carolina. North Carolina Eye, Ear, Nose & Throat has operated in Durham since its founding by Dr. Samuel D. McPherson in 1914. Formerly McPherson Hospital, the facility’s physicians developed many of the instruments still used today to perform eye surgery, including specialized suture materials. Doctors affiliated with the practice performed the first cornea transplant in the southeastern United States.

In 2022 rankings, U.S. News & World Report also ranked Duke’s School of Medicine No. 3 in the nation for research and No. 51

for primary care. Seven of the school’s medical education specialty programs were also ranked in the top 10 nationwide: anesthesiology, internal medicine, pediatrics, psychiatry, radiology, obstetrics and gynecology, and surgery. Duke’s faculty roster has two Nobel Prizewinning researchers – biochemists Dr. Robert Lefkowitz and Dr. Paul Modrich. Dr. Shelley Hwang, chief of breast surgery at the Duke Cancer Institute, was recognized as one of TIME’s 100 most influential people in 2016. In 2021, Duke surgeons performed the first U.S. pediatric “donation after circulatory death” heart transplant; Duke researchers identified a new antibody for COVID-19 and variants; and

the university was one of 11 medical schools selected across North America to participate in the Anti-Racist Transformation in Medical Education project, a national collaborative to dismantle systemic racism and bias in academic medicine. Duke Clinical Research Institute is the country’s largest and oldest academic clinical research organization. There’s also the architectural gem of Duke Integrative Medicine, a beacon in the growing practice of holistic medicine. Research Triangle Park (RTP), the largest research park in the country – most of which is in Durham County, is home to 450-plus life sciences companies, including Biogen Inc. and Pharm-Olam. Drug giant Merck has a plant in north Durham, and IQVIA, one of

the largest providers of biopharmaceutical services in the world, also calls Durham home. In fact, Jones Lang LaSalle IP, a global real estate investment and management firm, released a research report in September 2021 that lists the Raleigh-Durham area as the No. 4 region in the U.S. and Canada for the life sciences. And the city’s entrepreneurial spirit is advancing health care, led by the likes of up-and-coming companies such as AgBiome, Asklepios BioPharmaceutical (AskBio), Biogen Inc., Tergus Pharma and Rho Inc., a contract research organization that reached $100 million in revenue in 2021 and has gone global through an acquisition deal with European contract research organization Dokumeds in December 2021. 

OUR TOP DENTISTS z or the 12th straight year, Durham Magazine commissioned a peer-topeer survey of the local dental community – from endodontists to prosthodontists. The following listing is the result. Dentists were asked the telling question: “If you had a patient in need of a dentist, which dentist would you refer them to?” The Durham area is well-served by the dental community. Hundreds of dentists, specialists and support professionals have made this home, and the overall quality of dental care in our communities is second to none. What good dentist wouldn’t want to practice here?
