Description
City Market is a trendy shopping and dining locale, centrally located in Raleigh's historic downtown district. The area offers something for everyone, with gourmet chocolate shops and art galleries, a lively nightlife scene with great bars and local brews, and a comedy club. Added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980, City Market boasts notable architecture and impressive rehabilitation plans for restoring many of the buildings. Stroll around the pathways paved with original cobblestone and lit with old-fashioned lanterns, or stop for a rest on one of the many benches scattered throughout the area. Even the kids will enjoy the City Market, as they can dance to the toe-tapping tunes of the live music played on weekends.
