1. Amelie's French Bakery
Charlotte, NC 28205
(704) 376-1781
Categories:
Bakeries,
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhood: NoDa
A friend who was visit from Idaho and I went to Amelie's after dinner and found it to be a very popular place.
My friend kept taking pictures of all of the decor...especially the chandeliers made out of kitchen items. She couldn't believe a place…More »
2. The Cowfish Sushi Burger Bar
Charlotte, NC 28211
(704) 365-1922
Categories:
Sushi Bars,
Burgers,
Asian Fusion
Neighbourhood: South Park
Finally made it to the Cowfish with my dinner group and I was not disappointed. This is a interesting concept for a restaurant. Burgers and Sushi. Who would have thought that such a combination would be so popular. The place was packed on a…More »
3. The Salvador Deli
This is a nice little gem in the heart of NoDa. The name itself is something to draw you in since I think of it as a nice play on artists name (Salvador Dali).
They have a decent menu with innovative sandwiches or they can customize your sandwich to…More »
4. The Evening Muse
Charlotte, NC 28205
(704) 376-3737
Categories:
Music Venues,
Bars
Neighbourhood: NoDa
I've been visiting the Muse for years. It's a great place to see a band that might just be passing through town.
It's not a big place, but that's what I enjoy about it. Concerts are intimate and you can actually see the performers faces without the…More »
5. Soul Gastrolounge
Charlotte, NC 28205
(704) 348-1848
Categories:
Tapas Bars,
Lounges
Neighbourhood: Plaza Midwood
I went here with some people I met through one of my dinner groups. Having only driven by and never stopped it was time to experience another place I've heard such rave reviews on.
First off, it's not a place that is good for the differently abled as…More »
6. Savor Cafe & Catering
I really wanted to give Savor Cafe 5 stars but while the food was wonderful, there were some issues with the service. First, we had to ask for silverware for 6 of the 8 of us. I won't fault them on running out of the beer I originally ordered. It…More »
7. Paper Skyscraper
Charlotte, NC 28203
(704) 333-7130
Categories:
Cards & Stationery,
Bookstores,
Jewelry
Neighbourhood: Dilworth
Paper Skyscraper is a place to shop if you are looking for something unique that you probably will not find anywhere else.
I can't say I'm a frequent shopper here but I've been coming here a few times a year ever since I moved to Charlotte in 1992. …More »
8. The Dive N
I was just coming from the post office thinking I need to stop for lunch and figured I'd end up at Subway then I looked to my right and saw this place. I remember a review in the Charlotte Observer and thought I'd give it a try. So I put the car in…More »
9. The LGBT Center of Charlotte
Charlotte, NC 28206
(704) 333-0144
Category:
Community Service/Non-Profit
Neighbourhood: Third Ward
The LGBT Center, recently renamed from the Lesbian and Gay Community Center, sits in the NC Music Factory Building but if you aren't looking for the rainbow flag that sometimes sits in the grass outside the entrance, it is easy to miss the Center.

10. NC Music Factory
Charlotte, NC 28206
(704) 987-0612
Categories:
Dance Clubs,
Music Venues
Neighbourhood: Third Ward
Wow, I can't believe I'm the first to review this entertainment complex.
The factory is rightfully named because it used to be a manufacturing facility of some sort. I don't recall for what though. It took a while for the NC Music Factory to get off…More »
11. Hartigan's Irish Pub
Charlotte, NC 28202
(704) 347-1841
Categories:
Gay Bars,
American (Traditional),
Pubs
Neighbourhood: Uptown
Hartigans isn't a fancy place. The upstairs has wooden booths across the front wall and tables and chairs scattered elsewhere. There's no wait to be seated here. It's first come first seated which is rare these days. They have a couple of TV's…More »
12. The Secret Chocolatier
Charlotte, NC 28211
(704) 323-8178
Category:
Chocolatiers and Shops
Neighbourhood: Sherwood Forest
I had to update this since the SC now has a physical store as well. I have been in the store and have been thoroughly impressed with the selection of goodies.
Not only do they sell their own homemade chocolates, cake in a jar and my favorite…More »

I stumbled across The Secret Chocolatier's stand at the Charlotte Farmer's Market on Yorkmont. They… Read more »
13. King's Drive Farmer's Market
When I don't feel like driving out to Yorkmont, this is a a good alternative farmer's market if you're just looking for basic produce.
They don't have a lot of the exotic items like some of the vendors at the Charlotte Regional Farmers Market but for…More »
14. Alexander Michael's
Charlotte, NC 28202
(704) 332-6789
Categories:
American (Traditional),
Pubs
Neighbourhood: Fourth Ward
This is one of Charlotte's hidden gems.
It's not the easiest place to find and it's not the easiest place to park near since there are restrictions on parking on the street depending on the time of day. But it's nice to see history preserved in this…More »
15. The Common Market
Charlotte, NC 28205
(704) 334-6209
Categories:
Delis,
Beer, Wine & Spirits,
Music Venues
This is a wonderful and quirky convenience store/deli in one of Charlotte's funkier neighborhoods.
It's funky because it's independently owned and not forced to conform to corporate standards. Common Market has one of the best wine and beer…More »
16. Cool and Eclectic
This looks like this is a new store. The lighted items and funky furniture caught my eye and I was drawn into this store.
In the store, you have the untra contemporary and colorful furniture, retro items in furniture and wall art and stand up Elvis…More »
17. Owen's Bagel & Deli
Charlotte, NC 28203
(704) 333-5385
Since I pledged to support local for a whole month I took a detour from my usual stops at those chain bagel places to check out Owen's.
Owen's sits inside the Pavillion which is across South Blvd from Atherton Mill. It's a funly place with eclectic…More »
18. FABO
Charlotte, NC 28209
(704) 900-2430
Categories:
Coffee & Tea,
Art Galleries,
Beer, Wine & Spirits
Neighbourhood: Myers Park
The best word I can use to describe FABO is eclectic. Sitting at the end of a first floor condo area at the edge of Myers Park, one of Charlotte's old money neighborhoods, you'd never expect to find such a gem inside.
As you walk in you see art…More »
19. Vin Master Wine Shop
Charlotte, NC 28203
(704) 996-7471
Category:
Beer, Wine & Spirits
Neighbourhoods: South End, Dilworth
I should have read Chad's review before I showed up here. Obviously I was expecting a different type of wine store.
I was looking for a last minute gift for someone and rather than get lost in the selection at one of those big wine stores I wanted to…More »
