Durham one of NYTimes places to go in 2011!

It's not secret that I love the Triangle area - and the husband and I have really enjoyed getting to know our new hometown - Durham!  Apparently we're not the only ones as the NY Times just named it one of the 41 places to visit in 2011 (it's #35!)

I hope this year to do a much better job highlighting fun things we do around the Triangle in general and Durham in particular :)

Elmo's Diner

This morning the husband and I had brunch at Elmo's Diner in Durham. I had had dinner at the one in Carrboro, but never gone to the one in Durham (or had breakfast at either!). I got pumpkin pancakes that were TO DIE FOR! The husband got an omelet that was filled with sausage and bacon - he somehow put it all away! We are already making plans to go back for dinner sometime soon.

If you want to check it the website is here: Elmo's Diner.
The one in Durham is on 9th St. and is fairly big - we only waited about 10 minutes on a Sat. morning for breakfast - and the best part was that they had a big pot of coffee at the front that you could grab some coffee while you wait!
