I’m back with your afternoon reel. Confidence continues to increase for a significant Winter Storm that’ll impact parts of the state. The notion that a nice snowstorm is coming is not true; it’s either gonna be mostly sleet or freezing rain, with a burst of snow for some. The threat of power outages is increasing, but we will fine-tune the highest risk over the next 24-36 hours. There’s no reason to panic, but you should be aware of potential impacts. A Winter Storm Watch has been issued for most of Central and Western NC by the National Weather Service. I’ll keep you updated as much as possible. #ncwx #ncmountains #winterstorm

ART • Have you seen the Astronaut Christina Koch mural in Raleigh? You might have missed it. If you’ve seen it, you might not have noticed it was her! 🌔 Spark of Life is a mural by @ArtOfJohnPugh on @ncstatecentennial campus. His (non-AI generated) interpretation of the birth and emergence of AI is represented by a sculpture of Artemis, god of the hunt and the moon. 🌓 Artemis was used as a depiction of artificial intelligence coming alive and pushing out the boundaries of the walls that contained her. As she comes to life, she’s looking up at the moon! 🌒 Look closely and you’ll see that one of the two people crafting her is Christina Koch @astro_christina , the astronaut who just went to the moon and back! Artemis Il could not be contained - nor could NC native and @ncstate grad Christina Koch! 🌖 The mural was completed in the summer of 2024 - and is located (appropriately) on @ncstatecentennial campus. 📍930 Main Campus Drive, Raleigh NC If you’re there during the week, be sure to check out the nearby location of @321coffee, located in this building. It’s open from 7am-4pm on weekdays. 🌓 John Pugh is one of the premier Trompe L’oeil artists in the country. Thanks to Lincoln Property Company for funding this amazing piece of public art. And to @griffiths.simon for his help in bringing it here. 🌔 Have you seen Spark of Life? Been to Centennial Campus lately? Tell me in the comments. And FOLLOW @experience_raleigh for more! 🌔

PARK • You won’t believe what’s happening at Dix Park. It’s something that we’ve all been asking for, ever since they started developing the buildings and adding amenities. 🌻 The Flowers Cottage - the cute little bungalow with the most amazing views - is about to open to the public. It contains a coffee bar and a beer & wine bar with a snack bar. 🌻 The upstairs at @flowerscottage.dixpark includes “Coffee Cottage” with a coffee bar and indoor seating. The back deck has been extended and has a snack bar adjacent. (You’ll order from a QR code and pick up from the walk-up window.) 🌻 Under the deck is where you’ll find the “Park Bar” - with Prosecco on tap, as well as a variety of beer and wine. 🌻 There’s plenty of outdoor seating in a variety of areas. And those views - everywhere. You can almost see some trolls! 🌻 Speaking of the @ThomasDambo Trolls, you’ve got to check out the exclusive @trophybrewing beer that’s only available at this location. A portion of the proceeds will benefit the @DixConservancy. I understand you’ll be able to purchase cans to take home - the perfect souvenir! 🌻 📍Flowers Cottage 2105 Umstead Drive Raleigh, NC 27603 🌻 They’ll be open Thursday-Sunday starting August 20. Thurs: 8am-9pm Fri: 8am-10pm Sat: 9am-10pm Sun: 9am-8pm The idea is that they’ll be open until after sunset! 🌻 What do you think of Flowers Cottage so far? Which aspect of it are you most excited about? Tell me in the comments. Then send this to someone who’s been waiting for it! 🌻

FLY • Ireland is a little bit closer now! The inaugural @aerlingus flight between @flyrdu and @dublinairport launched today! ✈️ Nonstop flights will operate five times a week (Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Sunday) on a 184-seat Airbus 321XLR. 🍀 I could not be more excited about this new service. Not only because of the convenience to Ireland, but to other cities as well. The flight offers connections to more than 20 destinations across the UK and Europe. Furthermore, passengers flying to the US from Dublin can connect from 10 UK airports, and take advantage of US Immigration’s pre-clearance facility allowing them to arrive as domestic passengers. ✈️ Are you as excited about RDU-DUB as I am? Do you have a trip planned? Tell me in the comments! 🍀

The sunflowers 🌻 in Raleigh are in full bloom at Dix Park! It’s been quite the 84 hours in the weather world, so I took a nice break this afternoon for a run with of course nature! Thank you Raleigh leaders for believing in creating a destination park right in the heart of downtown Raleigh! It’s a great place to unwind and relax. I can’t wait to see the finished product! If you haven’t been to Dix Park, I suggest you check it out! -Ethan

TROLLS • The Trolls are here! Something magical is living in Dix Park! 🪾 Internationally acclaimed Danish artist Thomas Dambo created five large-scale, whimsical trolls made entirely from repurposed materials. And they were constructed with help from hundreds of local volunteers! 🪾 They’re putting the finishing touches on them this weekend for their official debut in 2 weeks. 🪾 Raleigh’s trolls are part of a larger family of seven coming to North Carolina, with one more making its home in High Point and one in Charlotte. Together, they form Thomas Dambo’s biggest U.S. installation to date. He’s already built more than 150 trolls across five continents and 23 US states. 🪾 That’s not all. Asheville will host a related traveling exhibition at the NC Arboretum in beginning November 15. 🪾 “Waste No More” is one of Dambo’s mottos, as his mission is to show the world that trash can be turned into something beautiful. ✨“That we can create joy and connection without consuming more.”✨ 🪾 The 600-foot “tail” that connects the baby troll with its mother is made from bourbon barrels. Other materials used came from fences, shingles, and even a barn! They worked with @raleighreclaimed and @habitatforhumanity, among other individuals and groups. 🪾 Their exact hiding spots in Dix Park are a secret for now, and I don’t want to spoil any surprises. They’re located in at least 3 different sections of the park. And it will be fun for kids of all ages to search, explore, and discover these amazing creations. They are truly wonderful! Awe inspiring! 🪾 Do you like learning about new art and fun things to do in Raleigh? Follow @experience_raleigh for more. Have you heard about the trolls? Are you excited to discover them? Tell me in the comments. 🪾

POV • It’s Earth Day. Your city is in a drought. There are water restrictions. But your car is still covered in pollen! What do you do? [#autobellpartner] 💦 Go to @autobellcarwash of course! Wait. What? Isn’t that wasteful? Not at all! Consider this: 💧Not all car washing is equal, especially in times like this. Where you wash your car matters more than ever. 💧An Autobell car wash uses significantly less water than washing it at home. (Just 12-25 gallons of water versus up to 150 gallons.) That’s up to 90% less water used, with Autobell’s high-pressure, low-volume system. 💧Not only that, at Autobell the water is captured, recycled, and reused. 💧Furthermore, Autobell participates in North Carolina’s voluntary car wash certification program, promoting year-round water conservation and water use efficiency measures. And all NC Autobell locations are certified annually by the NC Professional Car Wash Association. 💦 Celebrate Earth Day, and make a small choice that actually conserves water. And you’ll have a clean and shiny car too! 💦 Are you making any changes to save water right now? Let me know what other tips you have. 💦

FOOD • It’s here! One of the most highly anticipated restaurants around is opening!!! Get ready because @botiwallaraleigh is opening in @raleighironworks on Tuesday! 🌯 Botiwalla (pronounced BO-Tee-walla) is the fast casual concept from @meherwanirani of @chaipani fame. IYKYK - and I think everyone knows that no visit to Asheville is complete without a trip to Chai Pani for his fresh modern take on Indian food. 🌯 You won’t find a vindaloo here. But there’s plenty of tasty chaat, grilled skewers, and the most delicious wraps and handhelds. And you can always get a Chicken Tikka Rice Bowl (or lamb, paneer, fish, and more). 🌯 We started with the Bhel Puri, Green Mango Chaat, and the signature Matchstick Okra Fries. Yum!!! A Sigri is a North Indian charcoal grill and from this menu we chose a Paneer Tikka Roll. It was bursting with flavor! 🌯 The Pav menu contains the street sandwiches and we had the KFC Sandwich - two perfectly crispy and succulent Kashmiri fried chicken sandwiches. So tasty and just the right kick! 🌯 Honestly, I would order everything again, but I want to try literally everything on the menu. Don’t forget a specialty drink like mango lassi or one of the delicious house sodas. And allow time to shop! 🌯 I am so excited to welcome Botiwalla to Raleigh and you will be glad they’re here! Botiwalla opens Tuesday June 2 at 4pm. 🌯 Have you been to Chai Pani or Botiwalla before? What are you excited to try? 🌯

ROOFTOP • it’s one of the most highly anticipated rooftop openings in ages! 🍹 @SixtyVines opened in @visitnorthhills Hills in December. Their VIP Grand Opening party was epic. And they’ve been killing it ever since. 🍹 There was only one thing missing. Their beautiful rooftop bar had views and vibes, but it hadn’t opened yet. Well it opened today! We went for lunch and it was just as lovely and delicious as we’d hoped it would be! 🍹 They have lots of great wines on tap and tasty cocktails too! And you’ll be equally impressed with the food! Here’s what we had: 🍕Fig & Prosciutto Pizza - with honey, arugula, sesame seeds (We loved it!) 🍤Wood Grilled Shrimp - with roasted corn, tomato, champagne vinaigrette, black garlic aioli (We practically licked the dish clean.) 🍔 Double Cabernet Burger - Cabernet smothered smashed patties, white cheddar, caramelised onions, Worcestershire mayo and tomato. (We split it 3 ways. 🔥) ✨Crispy Zucchini Chips - tapioca dusted peppadew pepper, cilantro and sweet chilli vinaigrette (They were even better than we imagined!) 🍹 Between the walk up bar on the ground floor and this beautiful roomy and airy rooftop, I think Sixty Vines is going to be a popular place to hang this spring and summer ! 🍹 What do you think? Let me know in the comments! 🍹

FOOD • There’s a new neighborhood spot that I think you’re going to love. 🍷 @gallicchiosmarket is located on North Person Street - one of the coolest areas in Raleigh. It’s going into the Person Street Pharmacy space where (ish) used to be. (Aka across from @jolierestaurant and Pelagic.) 🧆 Gallicchio’s is the brainchild of Stacy Gallicchio Murphy, a NY native and Oakwood resident who’s excited about bringing her vast culinary pedigree to her neighborhood. 🍷 Everything they serve in this Italian-American style market and eatery will be made in house. From house-made antipasti to fresh bread - and so much deliciousness in between. 🧆 This will be an ideal place to pop in for a coffee or a quick lunch during the day, or a small plate and a glass of wine after work. There will be lots of grab and go options to take home as well. 🍷 We had a sneak peek and were really impressed with the small bites we had. So fresh and so full of flavor. I loved the fava bean crostini. The fried fennel was amazing. And I heard the meatballs were legit! (Everything we tasted, we’d be happy to have every time.) 🧆 Gallicchio’s will be opening soon, so stay tuned. I’ll keep you posted. 🍷 This is the sort of place that I think every neighborhood wishes they had. What about you? Tell me, what do you love about a place like this and what do you hope they’re serving? 🧆

DISCOVER • Raleigh just made dinosaur history. Again. 🦖✨ 🦖 Scientists studying the Dueling Dinosaurs at the Museum of @naturalsciences have now confirmed that the predator in this fossil pair isn’t a young T-Rex - it’s a completely separate species called Nanotyrannus. 🦕 This is a massive discovery in paleontology. For decades, experts debated whether Nanotyrannus was real or just a teenage T-Rex. 🦖 That’s not all. They took their findings and applied them to another presumed T Rex - one commonly known as Jane. And they determined that Jane is yet another separate species of Nanotyrannus. 🦕 These two major discoveries will impact paleontology around the world. And you can see the fossil right here in downtown Raleigh. SWIPE >>> to see more. 🦖 Have you been to The Dino Lab? It’s a one-of-a-kind experience. This is the most complete skeletal fossil of a Tyrannosaur and a Triceratops IN THE WORLD. It’s not just an exhibit - but a live lab where you can witness the paleontologists excavating, researching and discovering. The lab is free and open to the public. You can talk directly to members of the paleontology team, and follow along as they work to share their discoveries. 🦕 If you love discovering unique things in your city, follow @experience_raleigh for more. This is our museum! Have you been to the Dino Lab yet? What’s your favorite part of the @naturalsciences museum? Tell me in the comments. 🦖

OPEN • We’ve been waiting for this! 🌅 The @hotelindigoraleigh - our beloved “Round Holiday Inn” in Downtown Raleigh is open! And it’s beautiful! 🌅 Once set for redevelopment and even demolition, it’s been lovingly restored and renovated. And you need to see it to believe it. 🌅 Go straight to the 20th floor and experience @highgroundloungeraleigh raleigh - the classic cocktail bar / restaurant. There are nearly 360 degree views! And why not book a room?! It’s in the center of everything and it’s a vibe! 🌅 This hotel holds special memories for so many of us in Raleigh - natives, transplants, and visitors alike. Ask anyone and you’ll hear a story. Did you know Prince played there? 🌅 So we’re thrilled! Not just that the iconic building is still a vital part of our skyline, but that feels like there are so many great times ahead - memories to be made. It’s only fitting that it’s now officially a Raleigh Historic Landmark. 🌅 Stop by as soon as you can. High Ground is open - and they don’t take reservations. 🌅 Are you as excited as I am? Do you have a favourite memory of this place? Tell us in the comments. 🌅

PATIO • Did you know about this hidden oasis in downtown Raleigh? Did you guess? 🎋 You know that @viderichocolate factory is a great spot for kids of all ages - with delicious chocolate, a self guided factory tour and a retail shop. And the coffee shop adjacent @blackandwhitecoffeeroasters is another “if you know you know” kind of place. 🎋 When you’re at Videri, not only can you get a sweet treat or a cup o’ joe, you can also get wine by the glass. 🥂And a little peace. 🎋 Did you know? Have you been? Tell me in the comments. And share this with someone you want to meet there. 🎋 Follow @experience_raleigh for more ways to discover your city. 🎋

DINE • Do you love a good ol’ service station like I do? Do you love it when one of these iconic structures gets repurposed into something functional? Wait ‘til you see this! 🍽️ @lloydsfullservice just opened in downtown Cary and I think you’re going to love it! 🍽️ First of all, the space is beautiful. It’s been renovated with such care and creativity and respect for the heritage of this historic 1950’s spot - right at the corner of Chatham and Academy streets. The first thing you notice is the spacious covered outdoor terrace. 🍽️ I love the menu! There are small plates and bowls, and meat-and-2-veg plates, as well as burgers, sandwiches and more. I *loved* the Salt & Vinegar Fish Fry. (Technically a starter, but also could work as a main.) I heard great things about the Market Fish (with Romesco and Gremolata) and the Garlic Lemon Roasted Chicken Thighs. Next time I’ll try more of the sides because they look delicious. 🍽️ Here are the current opening hours 👉Wed-Fri 4-9pm 👉Sat 11am-9pm 👉Sun 11am-8pm There are plans to expand dinner, and add weekday lunch and weekend brunch. (By the way, there’s free parking in the deck right next door!) 🍽️ Have you seen Lloyd’s while it’s been under construction? Do you remember this place from before? Tell me the comments and tell me what you think! 🍽️

CLEAN • That feeling when you realize you need to wash off last week’s ice storm before this weekend’s snow rolls in! [AD] ❄️ Your car is probably covered in all that salty brine and the aftermath of being covered by snow and ice. You know that’s not good for your car. With more snow on the way, you need to be ready! ❄️ My advice? Head straight to @autobellcarwash like I did. The exterior is now shiny and clean and the interior is just like new again. And bonus - it’s also got that new car smell! ❄️ At Autobell, you can choose a Quality Wash that gets you back on the road in minutes. Plus, you can skip the wait and purchase online. Download the Autobell App and see how easy it is to redeem your washes with ease. ❄️ Clean car. Clear windshield. Ready for whatever winter throws our way. Are you ready? ❄️
