Nomad is good combo of Eastern and Asian street food, elevated to a comfortable and elegant experience. The service is great, the vibe is relaxed, with low-lighting and good background music. Set in Hillsborough's original movie theater, The Osbunn, they've taken the high-ceilings and beautiful, old brick and turned it into a delicious night out.

Riverwalk is a paved, accessible, urban greenway that stretches about 1.8 miles along the Eno River between Gold Park in western Hillsborough and trails east of town. It is a popular trail for walking, jogging and cycling, and provides pedestrian connections between several neighborhoods.
The greenway’s downtown portion is the primary route of the N.C. Mountains-to-Sea Trail, and the first section of the statewide trail system to be constructed in Orange County. Riverwalk also is one of the few sections of the Mountains-to-Sea Trail located in an urban environment, giving users easy access to restrooms, restaurants and shopping.
The greenway is open daily from 8 a.m. until a half hour after sunset.
