Another great gastronomic experience to add to the Chapel Hill/Carrboro eating scene: Neal's Deli. Located on South Greensboro Street next to the Open Eye Cafe, Neal's can satisfy that burning craving for hot pastrami on rye, salami subs and excellent egg salad. Prices are reasonable, and there are a few tables inside for seating. Check out the menu and restaurant info at http://www.nealsdeli.com/.
Money Magazine has named Durham among the top dozen places in the country to "live and launch."

Pros:Thriving biotech and pharmaceutical industries, lots of local arts festivals and college sports
Con: Perceived as the underdog of the Triangle region
The magazine lauds Durham for RTP, low-rent office space, unconventional work spaces, and a relatively low cost of living, as well as its botanical gardens, baseball, art museums and festivals.
