Your Carolina Inn

To all meeting and conference planners out there - "If you think you can't afford meetings in this economy, maybe you should give it that old college try. When meeting planners take their meetings and events on campus, they usually get more than they pay for."

On July 25, 2008 ,I celebrated my 50th Birthday at the Carolina Inn with my family and a friend who moved to the area. I had not seen this friend for a few years. It was great getting back together with her and her daughters. What better place to spend it having dinner at your wonderful restaurant. It was also during my daughter's orientation weekend at UNC. We plan on visitng Carolina frequently and hope we will be able to secure reservations for our daughter's graduation from UNC in 2012.

My wife and I brought our 4 young children for a mid-week getaway to Chapel Hill earlier this month. The staff, especially in the restaurant, could not have been more friendly or inviting. The breakfast buffet was fantastic and our dinner equally so. Thank you for making our visit a memorable one. TD

80 degree weather is finally here and so is Fridays on the Front Porch!  The first event of the season is always the most fun - spring and warmer weather have arrived and everyone is eager to enjoy the outdoors and relax after a long work-week.  The crowd-pleasing and my favorite, Big Fat Gap will kick off our FOFP 2009 Season, With the end of school year come all the concerts, bbq's and moat parties at our neighboring fraternity houses, turning Columbia Street into a battle of the bands.  The energy is great and it is something I think all Chapel Hillers and visitors need to experience.  Hope to see you all there!

I'd like to thank the 16 local North Carolina artists who participated in our 8th Annual Birdhouses on Parade. We had a total of 84 beautiful and unique birdhouses on display in our lobby this March and April. It was great to hear nice comments about the artwork coming from guests strolling through our hallways, impressed with the spring decor.  I was glad to be able to mark "sold" on a handful of the birdhouses, one of which I bought for my mother as a mothers' day gift.  Thank you for being a part of our spring celebration.

Sunday April 5,2009 at 11am brunch will long be remembered as the best food and service I've ever shared in my 64 years. My compliments to all who helped make that sunday a most memoriable one. Thank you!
