Ariel's Guidebook
Raleigh Gems
Here is a list of fun and unique places to check out while in town.
Check out an exhibit or just walk the grounds. The grounds themselves are a beautiful place for a walk or picnic and it’s free to just go on the property. The Art Museum is the top meat see for me.

This is an amazing, beautiful wine bar full of exquisite art. Relax with a glass of wine and cheese plate. It’s great for meeting up with friends or a solo adventure.
