The Black Pelican is my personal favorite restaurant and the one I recommend the most. The setting is on the casual site and the food is top notch. It also has historical value as it formerly served as the post office where Orville and Wilbur Wright sent a letter, notifying their friends and family back home that they successfully achieved the First Flight.

Entertainment
The longest-running outdoor symphonic drama, and the place where Andy Griffith got his start, The Lost Colony chronicles the mysterious first attempt of English settlers to colonize the new world. The play does an excellent job of detailing known facts drawn from journals, interviews and records, but also provides a suspenseful and enigmatic overview of what is still unknown to this day - the final outcome of the Lost Colony Members.
