NFT: Things to do in Charlotte

spike : 2/16/2019 4:56 pm
I have a business meeting in April at Westin Charlotte. Is there anything to do? Is it worthwhile to bring the spouse along?

Thanks in advance

Is a great brewery space to check out
huge outdoor grounds.

downtown BLT is a pretty good steakhouse.

Charlotte is very spread out. My wife and I did a weekend. we stayed at a nice place, did some shopping (she did I watched sports on my phone) went to the brewery and a nice dinner.

always wanted to check charlotte out.

Carpe Diem for high end.
Mac's speed shop had some killer bbq.

We went twice while there. Downtown had some regular bars and stuff. (Although I think "uptown" is really the downtown.)

If we had more time the Olympic white water rafting center looked like an awesome place to send the day.

And if you see any dirt lot construction sites with people tailgating stop and check it out :)
Charlotte has some pretty good rooftop restaurants ...

Fahrenheit’s on S Caldwell street has decent food and very good views of the city ... there are others as well.
BigBlue in the Keys hit up..

one of the best BBQ spots - Mac's Speed Shop. It's just a few minutes outside of Uptown on South Blvd, and there a lot of cool places along there. If you have a free afternoon, go to a neighborhood called NoDa and walk the streets to see some really unique shops and cafes.

There's not a lot to do Uptown outside of eating, but you might be able to go to a Knights game (the minor league baseball team) or go to the NASCAR museum. The Epicenter sometimes has live music, as well as Romare Bearden Park and both are within walking distance of the Westin.
Olde..

Mecklenburg Brewery is another good idea, as is just to do a brewery tour. You can go to NoDa and then walk to around 7 different breweries, including NoDa Brewery and Heist Brewery.

Was there for the NYG game last October. It was a ok city and there were some decent restaurants. Overall I did not care for the city, found it uninspiring and prob would not go back.
