The Town of Duck on NC’s Outer Banks is not just a collection of shops selling t-shirts and kites. There are some of the best restaurants on the Outer Banks in Duck, a great book store, a delightful art gallery and so much more. My three sons all work in Duck.
We recently had dinner at Red Sky Cafe (www.redskycafe.com) where my son is one of the chefs. We sat at the bar and enjoyed fresh sushimi and a delicately fried softshell, crispy goodness with corn relish. I wanted to post of picture of the soft shell, but we devoured it before I could get my camera.
Rib eye with sauteed veggies and mashed potatoes
Wayne had the rib eye and I had the grouper. It’s a wonderful relaxed setting located on NC 12 in downtown Duck.
The Town of Duck sponsors a Summer Music Series, which is returning for its fourth season. For six weeks, local musical groups will take the stage at the Duck Town Park gazebo. The concerts are from 6:00 – 7:30 p.m. and are on Tuesday and Thursday evenings from June 29 through August 5.
I’ll explore other favorite shops, eateries and things to do in Duck in later posts. Enjoy!

One of my favorite restaurants is open again – Poor Richard’s on the waterfront in downtown Manteo. They closed for a couple of weeks to make some repairs and refinish the floors. Lunch was delish as usual and there were people sitting outside on the deck enjoying the sunny 68 degree weather.
Took these photos of the George Washington Creef Boathouse and the Maritime Museum on my walk back to
the Marshes Light Sales Center today. I love being able to walk downtown for lunch or to browse the shops and festivities!
