2 LIVING IN DURHAM
LOVE YOUR LIFE Duke Law is serious about academics. But we also are serious about creating “whole lawyers,” people whose lives and interests and work complement each other. Here, you’ll find a community of people who are as passionate about life as they are about their studies. We are lawyers, learners, leaders, community servants, runners, kayakers, baseball fanatics, basketball extremists, foodies, filmmakers, musicians, parents, partners, entrepreneurs, idealists, skeptics, news junkies, teachers, and artists — and everything in between. We balance hard work with fun, intellectual engagement with purposeful living. At Duke Law, we firmly believe you can have it all. We admit it: Durham isn’t a bustling mega-metropolis. But if you’re looking for an eclectic, well-rounded, mid-size city with great restaurants, abundant entertainment options, affordable (and hip) housing, and easy access to the beach, mountains, and forested running trails, Durham is your place. !FAVORITE SPOTS Locopops (homemade popsicles — try Mango Chili) Cat’s Cradle (see the likes of Mat Kearney and The Hold Steady at this Chapel Hill venue) Taqueria la Vaquita (try tacos al pastor with pineapple) Sushi Love (walk to the best sushi in town from the Law School) The Green Room (lots of pool tables, cheap beer, great jukebox) Guglhupf (German pastries and lovely patio seating) The Federal (pub food at its finest) Washington Duke Inn (walk from Duke Law to this luxury hotel and golf course) Sage Café (best vegetarian restaurant) Player’s Club (dance the night away) Blue Point Yoga (find your kundalini, just off campus) Durham Farmer’s Market (year-round offerings from local farmers) Tandoor Indian Restaurant (the favorite of a number of good Indian restaurants) Maple View Farms (enjoy homemade ice cream in a rocker overlooking the farm) Nana’s, Four Square, Rue Cler, Vin Rouge, Revolution (top five fancy restaurants) Satisfaction (Durham’s favorite watering hole) Durham Bulls Athletic Park (the bull’s eyes really do turn red for home runs) Six Plates (six frequently changing pairings of wine and eclectic food) The Regulator (favorite independent book store) Q-Shack (for North Carolina BBQ) Elmo’s (a diner with the best grits in town) Durham Performing Arts Center (Broadway quality, off-Broadway prices) 3
