Hello, Durham.

“Dada?” A chubby finger is pointed at me. I raise my eyebrows at the toddler staring at me, and give her a look that clearly says: Nope.

Sitti + Exotic Shrimp

It’s a Thursday. I’m sitting in the window of Sitti, an incredible Lebanese restaurant in downtown Raleigh. Despite icy rain, and a congested commute home from Durham, I somehow beat my dinner companion, arriving at 6:30 on the dot. When she arrives, I’m already sipping a dry red, an incredible Argentinian Malbec.
