While Cary has been on the same growth trajectory as the rest of the Triangle, historically most of that growth has happened in the suburban areas of Town. Over the last few years, however, the Downtown core has seen an exciting number of new projects delivered and currently under construction.

Some restaurants have lines of people waiting out front for the doors to open during their initial first weeks as “foodies” attempt to be the first of their friends to say they have tried the new spot.

It was clear that A Place At The Table is one of those places.
A few weeks ago I had a chance to go over to Brookside Bodega for lunch. I hadn’t been to the Brookside Plaza in a few years, so I was excited to see the changes.
