Warehouse District

This district, characterized by its row of massive brick structures standing side-by-side and defining "urban hip," is primed with potential. The Warehouse District is a corner of Raleigh that branches off from the city's main downtown strip, and its buzz grows louder by the day. People in-the-know stop for dinner and late-night cocktails at some of the area’s hottest venues. Flying Saucer, for example, boasts one of the largest beer selections in the city, while The Irregardless Café is known for its live music and fresh, vegetarian-friendly menu. Shoppers flock to stores like William-Cozart, which stocks an array of home furniture and accessories and specializes in Asian antiques.

Where it is: On the far west side of downtown Raleigh, south of Morgan Street and west of Dawson Street.
