My husband and I are visiting next week, selling the area to ourselves. I am planning our activities and could use some confirmations/recs - any help would be appreciated!
(1) Shopping, we love shopping. We are going to go to Birkdale Village definitely. Are there any other indoor/outdoor malls that are good in/around Charlotte?
(2) I read that Myers Park is the “prestigious” part of Charlotte with Southern style estates. Yes/No? We wanted to see the Duke Mansion. Are there other areas in/around Charlotte that are must sees?
(3) I read that Dilsworth and South Park are the hoppin’ part of town for young people. Yes/No? Are there any others?
And lastly, if anybody has any must-go local hot-spots for young adults (restaurants, casual bars, just fun areas to walk around, etc) we would love to hear about them. Thanks in advance!
1- South Park mall has good shopping. There are also boutique-style shopping surrounding SP, like Phillips Place.
3- Plaza-Midwood and NoDa are other 'hoods to check out. Both offer eclectic shops, restaurants, bars
Haven't been to the Epicenter downtown, but I hear it's worth checking out. Grab our alt. weekly, Creative Loafing, for things to see/do while you're here.
Ballantyne Village just south of Charlotte has some neat boutique shops, and a great theater. Under the Grape is a good wine bar/wine shop. They often do free tastings, and it's owned by a lovely couple, Henry & Barb.
on Friday and Sat. nights for a few drinks and live music. Also my next favorite would be Southpark for food and shopping. Upstream was very good if you like seafood.
add Concord Mills for entertainment mall type shopping. They have Ann Taylor store Nascar simulators and indoor/outdoor tracks. aquarium in Bass Pro , and Dean and Busters game room/eatery.
