Marissa’s 5-star review: I really enjoyed my experience at The Green Light Speakeasy. Hargett St is easily my favorite place downtown. It's a street immersed in very eclectic spaces.The staff here are excellent. We visited The Architect failing to realize that The Green Light was within the bar itself. We followed a few folks into the turning bookcase and were greeted by Jason. We did not have a reservation for the evening and luckily he was able to find us a comfortable corner seat near the deer head. We reviewed the menu and decided on the Rum Flipped cocktail. The best way to describe this cocktail is Eggnog. It was literally the perfect night cap. The bartenders are talented, the wait staff and management here are excellent. Green Light definitely gave me east village New York vibes and that is dear to my heart as a home sick Native New Yorker. I can't wait to return again. -
Marissa’s 5-star review: I enjoyed my time at Arbor this evening after having dinner with a friend and fellow Elite at Oak City Fish and Chips inside the Morgan St Food Hall. Arbor offers indoor and outdoor seating and we were very happy to have had David as our bartender. He was friendly and professional. He knows how to make a cocktail ! There was a female bartender also who was kind. We ordered a Kentucky Mule and French 75. Both were tasty, served quickly and boozy. Service here was excellent. Bartenders have manners, they can mix a drink and are professional on the patio side. I loved the patio light fixtures and overall idea of this bar. Very relaxing, plenty seating and the perfect place to unwind after the work week. Prices were affordable. This is now one of my favorite places to grab a drink when Downtown. -
Marissa’s 4-star review: Quality Chocolate is like fine wine and pairs well. Videri brings this unique experience of chocolate tasting to Downtown Raleigh. I enjoyed our visit this afternoon and intend on coming back. They offer free chocolate samples, a cute coffee bar, patio and ice cream !!!!!! Perfect for a cute date night. The service here was excellent. We sampled a few of the chocolate flavors sea salt, Colombian walnut, and a new personal favorite the Dark Milk crunch spicy vesta chocolate. Infused with habanero and scotch bonnet peppers ! I took this one home at $9. I donated my change to the local Women's Center where I have volunteered at in the past. I'm sure you're reading this, accustomed to buying chocolate for a dollar. The cheap kind. Remember, anything worth enjoying is rarely ever free or cheap. If you're pinching pennies, just go for the samples and self guided tour of how chocolate is made. -
Marissa’s 4-star review: I enjoyed my Sunday Funday at Raleigh's CAM. The museum doesn't get the credit it deserves for this space. We need more love and art in this world. Conveniently located Downtown off West Martin and S. Harrington sits this lil gem. I am lover of all things art, so today we were just in time for art dedicated to Women's Month. My friend and I were able to indulge in the new spring exhibits from some truly talented women of color. Beverly McIver, Aliyah Bonnette, Isabel Lu and Stella Rosalie Rosen. My favorite piece was from Raleigh native Aliyah Bonnette. Her work with textile is amazing. The beautiful quilt she pieced together to display the body of a black woman from her own scope and not the white male gaze, was captivating. I also loved the portrait of American author, educator, sociologist, speaker, Black liberation activist, and most prominent African-American scholar in United States history, Anna J. Cooper. Her biography was enlightening. Isabel Lu's exhibit shed light on the importance of food in our culture and in Asian culture. Loved her work. Artist Ransome was featured with over 40 pieces of work on the lower level. All beautiful in their own way. Beverly McIver, a native of Greensboro owned the main gallery with over 25 pieces. Each speaking to race, gender and a display of her emotions. I really took in her pain and joy. She truly painted her truth vividly. Her exhibit is a mix of oil paintings and an actual handwritten letter her sister wrote her on canvas. I enjoyed taking in all the colors and examining what each piece brought to mind for me. I appreciated how quiet and spacious the gallery was. We arrived at opening to really spend time in our own space enjoying the exhibits. I adored the history and teaching here at the museum. I truly appreciate the local artists who have brought us their work. I plan to bring my preteen and make it a regular part of my self care routine. The inclusivity here of the art and their motto of "you belong here " is exemplified in the cultural experiences, and bold, non-traditional exhibitions by talented and unique living artists. -

Marissa’s 4-star review: Sports & Social Fenton has something for adults of all ages to enjoy with 4 levels of fun. I visited after a friend who lives in the area attended an event here a few months back. They really know how to sell the Social in the business name by advertising a calendar of events. I purchased a early bird ticket with my friend for tonight's 90's Throwback Jam. Threw on my 90's gear and we hopped in line. It took awhile to get scanned and receive our bracelet prior to the event start time. Reminiscent of standing in line at clubs in New York City back in my college years. This event brought out adults of all ages and I appreciated that. It was nice to see folks in their 50-60's enjoying night life along with the dirty 30's crowd. Throughout my visit, I found the staff kind, professional and engaging. PBR Cowboy Bar was extremely live. They have Go Go dancers and a mechanical Bull. You may also reserve private seating for bottle service. The DJ was excellent at PBR this evening. Ava Rooftop offers a more relaxed lounge space on the roof. More my pace. The staff kept things organized and safe. I enjoyed the decor for the 90's event. The Photo Booth was a nice touch. They also offered different flavored pouch cocktails at each bar for $8. Kudos to the event planning staff. The DJs were all excellent. I would definitely come again. This is definitely a great option on the Raleigh-Cary borderline for those who want to avoid Glenwood Avenue in DT Raleigh during weekends. -

Marissa’s 4-star review: Relish is one of my favorite area restaurants in the Crabtree-Glenwood Station neighborhood. I have never had a poor experience ever. I finally checked off the brunch experience at their sister cafe/bar, The Kitchen Table. Located conveniently next door to Relish, is KT. I read about the vintage board game experience and wanted to check out brunch for myself. A friend and I visited around noon and we were seated immediately by a nice young gentleman and comfortably inside at a booth towards the bar. I enjoy the vintage-country charm of this cafe. Our waitress arrived to greet us immediately and we decided on the Special Caramel Expresso Martini. These were made perfectly. We then decided on shrimp & grits and the montecristo for entrees. Our entrees came out very quickly. I asked that my waffle be cooked to a crisp and the cook delivered. I do not enjoy soggy waffles. I paired my dish with cheese grits. I felt the dishes were good but nothing blew me away. What I did enjoy the most here were the cocktails !!!!! We had to relocate to the bar due to the air conditioner leaking water over my seat and onto the booth from condensation. This was the best thing to happen to us. Zack is the bartender and he was such a wonderful host. He makes inspiring cocktails and is a mad scientist with his creations as well as a great conversationalist. I wanted to try Elijah Craig bourbon for the first time and he made an Apple Butter Bourbon fizz with delicious ginger, this was excellent!!!! We chatted about the Tepuy donuts that they serve on weekends from the famous Tepuy shop. I look forward to visiting for dinner and more of Zack's creative cocktails. We did not play any games this visit, but I intend to next visit and love that it's an option. The southern hospitality was much appreciated. -

Marissa’s 4-star review: PS is a hookah-dessert-cocktail lounge with chill zen like vibes. The theme of the restaurant is Urban Zen boho garden. When you arrive on St. Mary's there are bouncers who check ID. I advise everyone to either make a reservation or come early. We were lucky to enjoy DJ Uncool Kev. He played a lot of 2000's jams. We had a party of 4 and there were several others with rather large parties. This is a cool spot to have an intimate date or a chill birthday gathering. Our waitress was Movani who was excellent. I appreciate how professional and well dressed the staff was. We ordered expresso martinis, the gummy bear shot and the Came Thru Drippin Tequila herbal cocktail. All of our drinks were perfect. We also enjoyed 2 rather large heavenly slices of the Red Wedding Cake and Pumpkin spice. Both perfection. You must order any of the cake slices ! They are huge and shareable !!! I don't smoke so we did not order hookah. The reservation system here is helpful and limits tables to a hour and a half seating time. I wish they had a large back patio for dancing . There is a front garden where you can take adorable photos and enjoy your party outside. Check them out one weekend. This is definitely something modern and that's what downtown Raleigh needs. -
