The Neighborhood Comes to You
The Neighborhood Comes to You brings small downtown businesses and organizations into large apartment/condo buildings to introduce residents to retailers, restaurants and services in the neighborhood.
On Sep. 5, we hosted the first NCtY event at One City Center. Featured businesses: The Artisan Market at 305, Bull City Massage Therapy, EUtopia, Hamilton Hill, Indio and Rose & Lee. Durham Art Guild displayed pieces from local artists. Food and beverages were provided by Zweli’s, Ninth Street Bakery, and The Wine Feed.
Everybody had a great time!
