Neighborhood Guide: Ninth Street
nearDuke’s video preview of Ninth Street. Produced by Pitch Story Lab.
Within walking distance to Duke’s campus, Ninth Street is convenient, friendly, and fast-casual. It’s often lively with Duke undergrads living either in the area or on the nearby East Campus. But don’t worry, there are plenty of activities to go around!
Activities & Shopping
Harris Teeter, Durham’s only Whole Foods, and other exciting local activities are all available in the area. Choose Bull City Escape for a weekend outing, or indulge in boba at Moge Tee. Browse quirky shops stocked with gifts and knick-knacks or the Regulator, a well-shelved and beloved bookstore.
Food & Drink
Meal options are diverse and plentiful, ranging from deliciously affordable–like Alpaca, Cosmic Cantina, and Lime & Lemon–to finer options like Juju’s, an Asian-inspired fusion experience right next to Panera Bread.
Further down the street, there’s Monuts, a beloved classic that serves fresh donuts, pastries, coffee, and all kinds of light meals for breakfast, lunch, or brunch. For dessert, satisfy your sweet tooth with local icons Locopops and Pincho Loco, then top it all off with a drink at Flying Bull Beer Co., the neighborhood’s resident brewery.
With dozens of exciting options to choose from, Ninth Street has a little something for everyone!
