Greetings everyone!  I posted on here a month or so ago inquiring about where 
to live in Raleigh.  Well, I'm here now, and I'm trying to get oriented to 
everything.  I found a place in Historic Oakwood and am quite happy with it, 
so thanks to all of you who gave advice.  Any suggestions for quality places 
to drink beer/coffee in the city?  Is anyone else conflicted on whether to go 
to Wilco or the Drive-By Truckers on Sept 25th?  
 
Take care,
Michael.

Michael,

Welcome to town.   Don't know what yr preferences are, but a good few 
places to try are Flying Saucer and King's (beer) and Cup-A-Joe and 
Third Place (coffee).  You might also be interested in Moonlight, Lily's 
and Capital Creations (pizza), Char-Grill (burgers) and the Rockford 
(drinks).

And it sounds like you may need to know about these folks: 
<http://www.guitartown.org/>, a very active and enthusiastic community 
of twang-rockers and beer-drinkers.  They're just the ones to help you 
with that Wilco vs. DBT conundrum.
