Do you have a “third place” in downtown Raleigh? We all have our first place, our homes, and then we find our second place being where we work. Our third place is referred to as the place where we go, away from home and work, to be social and spend time in a comfortable setting. Downtown Raleigh is full of places for just this kind of interaction.
Barbershops and salons, coffee shops and bars, museums and restaurants. These are all over downtown Raleigh and residents are settling into these familiar places and meeting others. I talk about the concept of the “third place” over on my blog at The Raleigh Connoisseur. The third place can be many things including your church, a specific shop, or any type of regular meetup.
This “third place” is something that many downtown residents are seeking. Most residents want a comfortable space to spend time outside of the house that is closeby, in most cases within walking distance of our homes. The amount of places to experience in downtown Raleigh have grown over the past few years.
I can’t list them all because there are lots of places in downtown but below is a list of great places to settle in. Where is your “third place”?
