Stroll down the historic main drag of Pittsboro. There are lots of cute shops and places to grab a bite, a drink, or a unique gift! Check out the huge banana splits at the S & T's Soda Shoppe (Noah's Dad helped to install all of the built-ins from an old pharmacy in Mebane, NC), get some sweets at Carolina Cravings, or stop at the Beagle for a libation.
A great used bookstore! Grab a book for your travels or check out the collection of North Carolina Authors.
Christie worked here for years. A wonderful indie bookstore in the heart of Fearrington Village. If you are a mystery reader be sure to ask for recommendations from Pete! Check out the rest of the village while you are there and wave to the Belted Galloway cows.
If you aren't from the South check out Bojangles'. This is a must stop for Christie on visits. Biscuits just don't taste the same away from home.
