The Collective
Every Second Thursday and First Sunday
The Renaissance Jazz Café, 117 N. Green St., Greensboro

SHAKE IT FAST
Cookout
414 Huffman Mill Rd, Burlington
This grill-style restaurant doesn’t even have inside seating, only drive-thrus, and yet it’s the most popular destination for that midnight snack of a burger and fries. To make the meal complete, though, you have to order their namesake, a milkshake that you can create from over 30 plus ingredients. While the Eggnog Shake usually doesn’t have too many takers, Pineapple and Cherry Cheesecake are the biggest sellers.
