Yeah, you can’t really ask for more than that! Raleigh has some catching up to do in terms of urbanizing, but the whole Triangle metro area is growing fast and city leaders (here as well as in Durham) seem to be taking it seriously.

- And we have the official opening date for Union Station Deli & Catering from Rocky Top Catering. Located inside the iconic Raleigh Union Station at 510 W Martin Street in downtown Raleigh. They will swing open their doors on Thursday, August 29th. Touted as a true New York-style deli, they will be serving up breakfast bagels, deli sandwiches, and hot pressed sammies – with toppings like house-smoked pastrami, corned beef and chicken cutlets — as well as black-and-white cookies. Look for weekday service (6 a.m. until 3 p.m.) initially, with weekend service to start in January. The concept will be managed by Sean Degnan, known for his outstanding restaurant portfolio including bu•ku, so•ca and kō•än. Follow along on Instagram here.
