“The evolution of Durham from a faded tobacco town to a diverse cultural and culinary destination has been years in the making. But the ongoing development of this central North Carolina city seems to have reached a new stage. The resurgent downtown area — long a transitional neighborhood with pockets of progress — is now brimming with new restaurants, boutiques, bars and breweries. And while construction continues apace amid the historic brick warehouses, tobacco factories and textile mills — for good and ill — visitors today have reason to venture farther afield, to emerging hotspots in East Durham and the Old Five Points neighborhood.
