Five Outside

Where to sip, sup, shop and more outside Raleigh this month

Whether patrons want to “peck” on plates with friends or celebrate with a big dinner, this nosh spot has the chops—esp. with that fab new patio. Waddle this way… peckandplume.com

Hoppy House Taproom + Hangout Place
MORRISVILLE
Don’t worry, be hoppy. Drink, relax, repeat is the MO at this self-pour taproom/hangout hub that’s bringing communities together via booze and good food—NTM a relaxing vibe that begs you to pop a squat after a long day. And it’s not hard to feel welcome at the table when you’re fillin’ up on slices of  ’za, downing a plate of wings and sipping on some of the finest local drinks in town (beer! wine! cocktails!). Hoppy days! morrisvillebeer.com

Corner Street Yaki
DURHAM
Send noods. … There’s a new kid on the corner of the Durham Food Hall in the form of this bun in a million Asian eatery offering an array of Eastern menu items—think dumplings, ramen, rice bowls and stuffed buns. From the same team that brought you Everything Bagels and Napoli (also both located in the food hall), this friendly melting pot of Asian flavors boasts fare “fueled by passion, made with love.” Trust us, udon’t wanna miss it. @corneryaki

Adorn Home Furnishings 
FUQUAY-VARINA
Established in 2021, this family-owned furniture shop swears off those basic cookie-cutter household items in favor of curated collections for an abode that’s both unique and stylish—whether it’s your work-from-home space, outdoor oasis or the guest room. Behind the biz, find NC-bred owners Benjamin and Samantha Lundy, who made the foray to Fuquay with their 3-year-old twin tots to be closer to their fam—and have been on a journey to help patrons populate their homes with cute pieces ever since. Couch you later! ncadorn.com

Zin Yoga Studio & Wine Lounge
GARNER
Bend it, stretch it, then sip it via the perfect balance of yoga + wine (!). Classes are offered every day of the week—best followed by a glass (or two) of vino and a charcuterie board inside the light-strewn industrial-esque interior, or out on the patio for an alfresco affair. Or, skip the yoga altogether and swing by for live music or a wine tasting. Yoga and wine under one roof? Namaste—yes, please. zinyogawine.com
