The majority of streets in Cary, North Carolina seem to be named after someplace in the Irish UK: Kildaire Farm; Maynard; Nottingham; Kilmayne; Wilshire; Kilarney; Coventry; Queensferry; O'Kelly Ln...

 

There is a rich European heritage beneath all the new population growth (that has only recently introduced this town to authentic tastes of Thai, Arab grocers, chile peppers, and Ethiopian dining options).

 

A place probably more familiar to more 'longtime' residents of Cary is a place like LaFarm Bakery.  Featured on Rachael Ray's national hit television show for their scrumpteous chocolate chip cookies, LaFarm caters to lovers of the French culture.  Baguettes are baked fresh daily, as are a variety of other breads.  Classes and workshops are offered - this bread shop on NW Cary Parkway really is a step into the Old World.

 

Check it out today; homemade croissants and the aroma of baking bread will delight your senses and remind you of all the things that make Cary so special.
