Guidebook for Charlotte
Food Scene
It's such a cool spot! The biscuits are amazing. There service is awesome. However, they do tend to have a line outside of the door on Sundays for brunch. But they serve free coffee with cream for the crowd.

I love to bring my friends and family here. It's an indoor market with local vendors and local restaurants! It's very family friendly and a great place to grab breakfast or lunch. They have a parking garage right beside them, and parking is also free for the first two hours if you validate your ticket at one of the vendors! I highly recommend stopping by this place early, on a weekend. Be warned, there is limited seating though! It's also inside city center, so it's not a far walk from shops, restaurants, museums and nightlife!

Drinks & Nightlife
It's free on Fridays. It's a two level night-club with good music. The crowd ranges from 20's - mid 30's. It is never too hot or sweaty in there!

Bars, on top of bars. This place is Epic. It can be a bit overwhelming, as it gets so crowded on the weekends. But it's a very cool concept. An open space with restaurants and a convenience store on the first few levels; and all the bars near the upper levels. I highly recommend Rooftop 210 for a beautiful view of the city! They also usually have live music on their stage.

Arts & Culture
When I went, there was a vast amount of artwork and creative displays. I would highly recommend this for the highly cultured individual.

If you want to know about Charlotte specifically, I recommend you stop at this specific Mint location. It's a much smaller museum compared to the others. It doesn't take long to walk through all of the exhibits, but they usually do have a shuttle bus to the bigger, recently built Mint Museum in Uptown.

There's SO much in the Arboretum: a movie theatre, so many local pubs; cool boutiques; gyms; Harris Teeter, Walmart, Bed bath and beyond, a bookstore. This is great stop if you need a little bit of everything.
