Durham has recently been cited by the New York Times as one of the most exciting cities in the world. Adapting from an earlier period when it was a center of finance, agriculture and manufacturing, Durham has transformed itself into an acclaimed center for medicine, education and entertainment. Duke University and Medical Center and the Research Triangle Park are the primary economic engines for the City, but they are complemented by a variety of entrepreneurial ventures.
Beyond work, Durhamites encounter a plethora of recreational and cultural opportunities. From attending a Durham Bulls baseball game to seeing a show at the new Performing Arts Center to taking in the latest exhibition at the Nasher Museum of Art, weekends are packed with choices. Close to these cultural attractions are many nationally recognized restaurants. Nature and science enthusiasts have many options, including the Eno River State Park, Duke Forest, Museum of Life and Science and the serene Sarah P. Duke Gardens.
