What a great little shopping area with European vibes right here in Raleigh. Lots of food and shopping options. Great place to spend an afternoon.
Nice area in Raleigh to get food, desserts, and shop. They also have salons and you can easily do a loop through the place walking with a friend. Make sure when you go during the week you check the hours of the store you want to visit because many close around 7.
Beautiful little place. I came here for my 30th birthday and it was beautiful so many food places etc
