There is so much to do in the American Tobacco District! If you want a nice meal with a lovely walk and talk date, this is your spot. Lots of yummy restaurants and plenty of area around the Lucky Strike Tower to walk around and sit at tables and fun spots to talk and enjoy the company of friends and family. There's even fire pit for cold nights. Of course, there's the awesome Durham Bulls baseball park to enjoy a summer game! Great place for a date night or family night!

This place is great to visit, especially during the summer months when you can go outside and drink a beer in one of the bars along the little stream that goes through the place. Parking in one of the decks is easy and often free during the weekends (if there is no game going on). Also good to walk with pets, but be aware that there are some green areas where pets are not allowed.
