Question

Answer 1

Malls?  Yuck!

Basically, you'll wanna stay in and around Downtown for much of anything good to do. A good number of small bars with live music, depending on your tastes. Plus art galleries, nightclubs, restaurants, museums, theatres, parks, outdoor concerts/festivals, etc.

(And of course the nearby cities of Durham, Chapel Hill and Carrboro add even more to do.)

Here are some great websites & local blogs that list local venues for music, entertainment, film, art and so forth....as well as other local events when they happen. They'll give you a good feel for the area:
