Review:
Chapel Hill is a small town surrounding the University of North Carolina, and in fact was built around the university’s founding in 1793. The charming downtown is anchored by the historic Franklin Street, where is home to over 200 restaurants and bars, and fast becoming known as a destination for “foodies.” Enjoy an event at Carolina Square or 140 West. Chapel Hill’s Southern Village was founded in 1994, the newer neighborhood’s Market Street is a walkable stretch of entertainment, dining and shopping. In addition to UNC, visit the Ackland Art Museum, the Morehead Planetarium and Science Center, and the North Carolina Botanical Garden.
