How to Spend 24 Hours in Raleigh, North Carolina (Updated 2025)

"For a classic Southern breakfast I always head to Big Ed’s in historic City Market, a laid-back spot serving generous portions of Southern comfort food since 1958 with funky antiques hanging from the ceiling and warm hospitality; I love their giant pancakes, local country ham, fried chicken, aged rib-eye steak and eggs, sliced pork loin, fried catfish, fluffy biscuits, and double-brewed sweet tea — this is the local experience you’re looking for." - Matthew Kepnes
