(Don’t worry, not all of the beers are made with arachnids: the tea- and honey-infused Southern Hospitalitea is an ideal sipper for the patio’s porch swing.) And they break rules in spectacular fashion here, brewing with anything from bacon and cream cheese to scorpions.
the German purity law Reinheitsgebot is just another rule meant to be broken. It's a really nice town.A few miles away at The Unknown Brewing Co. A really good uptown seafood restaurant (has small plates also and good drinks and wonderful oysters) is Sea Level in the Truist Building. I am not sure of the status of tour companies now but you might even just get on a city bus in the uptown transportation center and take a ride on one that goes down Queens Road West one of our many beautiful streets.Ī restaurant that might have a real down south feel with lots of good food (not quite a hole in the wall) is Dish in the Plaza Midwood area not too far from uptown but an Uber ride. It is an upscale "biker BBQ bar"-the quotation marks should really go around "upscale biker".
For this I would Uber to Mac's Speed Shop on South Blvd. But there is lots of other kind of dining some of which has survived the pandemic.īeing from quebec you should partake or our southern national dish (not poutine) which would be pork barbecue. All within an 8 block of walking.įor food you can go to the Chicken Coop for the best fried chicken in the South. Staying uptown you can enjoy not only the Levine museum but also the Bechtler with a truly world class collection of modern art, the Mint Museum, the Harvey Gantt museum of Black History-AND the NASCAR Hall of Fame!! There is also Discovery Place, our science museum. I'd love to hear them, whatever they are! Is there anything that strikes you as uniquely interesting in Charlotte? A park with a special energy? A street with some especially lovely historic homes? Some food unique to Charlotte (or Asheville) that you find is done particularly well in that city? A particularly special restaurant (I like all sorts of cuisine holes in the wall no frills places can be great if they have good food)?Īnyway, if you have any thoughts, don't be shy to share them. I've read up on Trip Advisor and have seen the Levine Museum of the New South, which seems like it could be interesting. I like history, culture, cuisine, nature, architecture, charming parks and neighbourhoods I find most US cities I've been to have something unique to them. I will not have a car but am happy to take public transit, bike, even do a pricier Uber if it means seeing something special.

I'll have one full day and two half days in Charlotte, a place I've never visited before.
So, the train drops me off in Charlotte and I will be taking a bus/shuttle to and from Asheville. This year, going there for the first time just made sense! I don't know why, but I have tended to opt for places further afield and never got around to seeing this city that many people seem to love. To celebrate being fully vaccinated, I am doing one of my favourite things, a train ride (to Charlotte)! My destination this time around is Asheville, North Carolina, in part to visit a friend, but in part to check out Asheville, a city that has long been on my radar. I had not seen them for 17 months, being on the other side of the border in Quebec. It's good to be back in the States helping out my parents in northern Virginia.
