However, it is worth noting that when it comes to late night beer runs Ken's is safe. Not only is it located practically on the UNC Campus in University Square adjacent to Granville Towers (which has its own security), but it's only a few doors down from a satellite office of the Chapel Hill Police Department. The staff is nice as well, even late into the night. If the party's gone dry, you need a late night sugar fix, or are just in search of this week's Vogue, Ken's will likely have it. And, more importantly, as safety has recently become an issue in Chapel Hill Ken's might be a wise choice.

This place is quick and convenient! Previous review: They will OVER CHARGE you. "Murder Mart" as most people call it is convenient and the only reason I go there. The guy working in there regularly overcharges me, then argues with me about the price every times saying the distributor changes the price and doesn't tell him. Liar. Past 4 times I've gone this week all 4 times he charged me too much.

You will usually share the parking lot with some guy from Durham who is chain smoking in his white Honda, waiting for Gotham to open for the evening and some local tweenage ruffians trying to look badass while they eat their Nutty Bar on the curb. None of that is really so special, though. The reason I love Murder Mart is the incredibly sullen and mute Persian clerk that works the counter. I had an insane crush on him for years.

The prices are still extortionate (which is why it gets only 3 stars), but this store was really impressive.

I've been coming here since my UNC days starting in 2008 and even though I'm now much farther away, I still make the drive. That says everything. This place has been a community staple for years, and I was so relieved when they reopened after the fire. The Mediterranean menu is unlike anything I've seen -- the selection is massive and everything is fresh and authentic. They also serve Turkish-style pizzas, bake their own bread daily, have a small grocery, and offer desserts. Don't skip the chocolate baklava -- perfectly baked, not too sweet, and generous with the pistachios. The owner is kind, engaged, and genuinely part of the Chapel Hill community. You One practical note: downtown Chapel Hill parking is no joke -- towing and ticketing are aggressive, so give yourself extra time to find a spot. Totally worth the effort though. If Yelp allowed ten stars, Met Deli would get every one of them.
