Discover Cary
North Carolina's Triangle region, named after the geographic triangle formed by Chapel Hill, Durham, and Raleigh, is one of the fastest growing areas in the state. Cary, an upscale community in the middle of the Triangle and just west of Raleigh, offers a number of great dining experiences. With its eastern NC location, it should come as no surprise that chopped pork barbecue is readily available. Of course, it will be vinegar-based barbecue, not the tomato-sugar recipe you would get in the western parts of the state. The area has a large number of relocated Northerners and immigrants, so New England clam chowder is just as available as Southern-style chicken and waffles. If you prefer Mediterranean, Thai, Korean, Mexican, or Latin American food, there are options covering most parts of the globe here.
