Nestled in a little corner off of East Blvd (attached to Paper Sky Scrapers) this is by far the best Thai place in Charlotte.  

The food comes…More »

I regularly visit Dean & Deluca with friends for wine and sushi and I must say it's never let us down so far.  You can find good wine at a reasonable price and the same goes for sushi.
