I wish the season hadn't ended so soon, but Hurricanes games are high on my list.
I enjoy going downtown on Fayetteville Street and around there for good nightlife and places to eat. Amongst my favorites are Raleigh Times (site of original paper publishing company, pretty cool older building and good food), The Big Easy (similar to a bar you'd find in Nashville or places like that, live music and good drinks) and Tir Na Nog (Irish pub, awesome food and bands). Kings/Neptunes is a pretty cool spot as well for a club if you can get around the hipsters.
My favorite sneaker spots... Definitely Vertical Urge, have bought from those guys for many years and they're awesome. I'd challenge anyone to find a more solid Nike SB account in the southeast, possibly the east coast. Also Endless Grind, another good SB account that flies under the radar. Of course we have our HOH in Crabtree Mall, speaks for itself. Sneaker culture has exploded here the last few years which sucks, a lot of reselling and people new to the whole game. But pretty much if it comes out, you've got a chance to get it down here.
