My parter and I will be in Raleigh NC next week for a series of dr. appointments (note: CANCER SUCKS) on Thursday and Friday. We'll have mid(ish)-afternoon on Thursday free and I'd like to find something to do other than just going out to dinner to help take his mind off things. Any Raleigh-ite/Mefites here and have any ideas? [more inside]

I'll be in Raleigh soon, and I have a bit of free time on a Sunday morning. I'm staying between NCSU and downtown, on Hillsborough St. Where can I go, within walking distance, for something good to eat before noon? Preferably with vegetarian options and good coffee. Your recommendations would be very welcome. [more inside]
