Seize the day and get your hungry self over to Carpe Diem. While Carpe Diem is a little fancy pants to just roll into with jorts and a Dale Jr. tee, make the effort. It's a lovely restaurant- beautifully appointed and as Julia S points out - stellar…More »

Meat and cheese and wine, oh my! Customshop is the place the hubs and I will visit for a hefty serving of all of the above. While we've had a full meal here, I think they shine with their appetizers and wine selections. Their meat and cheese boards…More »

Fresh, fresh, fresh! I'm a big fan of Crisp.

A few girlfriends and I stopped by Crisp to enjoy a light dinner before heading to a show at Ovens. I'm so glad I did! The salads are generous, the ingredients are fresh and crisp and all of the protein is…More »

I must update my review with some favorite dishes...this is Cajun deliciousness:

I'm still on my plight for the best pizza in Charlotte, and while I'm not ready to officially crown Hawthorne's as my pizza king, they still dole out some pretty sweet slices.

Hawthorne's is a fairly straight forward pizza join - there are two areas,…More »

Sometimes it's just nice to have a solid place to grab a low key drink....or maybe you want to jam it out karaoke style....and other times you want to mix it up and fist pump you way through the night. Loft 1523 can provide all of these scenarios and…More »

Oh my stars another delicious bakery! Thank goodness, because God forbid I have to travel a mile outside of Elizabeth to fetch a delicious treat.

I was really intrigued by Sunflour as soon as I read that they were opening. It's a (pun intended) sunny…More »

Neighbourhood: Elizabeth

4.0 star rating
  10/31/2010

Sometimes it's just nice to belly up to a bar or a long table and take in some scary bad karaoke and dine on some tasty bar bites. So, for these intents & purposes, Jackalope Jacks fills the void. And it fills it well, too, if I may add.

A few…More »

On a unseasonably warm February evening, hubs and I ventured out for some eats. Since we both had fairly light lunches we were starvin' marvins. After attempting to stop by a handful of places (closed on Monday or an hour long wait) we settled on…More »

And the skies opened and I could hear "Hallllllllllllllllelujah!" Tasty Chinese food in Charlotte!

I was practically convinced that after almost 4 years in Charlotte I was never going to find solid, convenient and fresh Chinese food. Therefore,…More »

Sweet, sweet patio. I adore thee. P Stone has earned a special place in my heart because I kicked my husband's a$$ in corn hole on the patio. That's really important, folks.

But seriously, this patio is really great for people watching, grabbing a…More »

UPS - you inspire me to refrain from heading to the post office for the rest of my life. With minimal wait times, incredibly friendly and helpful employees and a plethora of shipping options and supplies, it's no wonder I have little desire to walk…More »

Need a cup o' joe on the fly and want to go corporate? Hit up this Starbucks. But if you're looking for somewhere to hunker down and get some work done, there are a handful of other choices in the immediate area. And those choices are local.

There are plenty of medium - large ish event venues in Charlotte. Some are new, some are old and some are just pretty cool. The Palmer Building falls into the old & cool categories.

If you want to bust a move in a gas station parking lot, this is the one to do so. This Kangaroo Express bumps some beats over the speaker system, so I feel a bit inclined to shimmy as I refuel my car.

As for the other goods:
