Neighborhoods

Some notable areas within the city you might enjoy checking out.
Uptown as we call it is the downtown area. There are museums, restaurants, bars, and parks available. This is also were most of the professional sports matches happen.

NoDa, short for North Davidson, is the art centered part of town. There are a lot of quirky little shops and often street markets on the weekends.

South End is where all the young professionals tend to congregate. There is a lot going on during most hours of the day and night. If you are looking for a crowd, bar, or lively dinner spot this is a good place to start.

Local flavor, quirky but less so than NoDa and a hair closer to the house. You can find mostly small shops, bars, and local restaurants here. There are also events fairly regularly on the weekends.

Things to Do

Outdoors and indoors, lots of fun stuff in various categories.
Good place for a yoga class. Okra is an established studio in the city and tends to have more spiritual options as opposed to mostly physical practices though they have some of those to choose from too.

Consummate Charlotte area hike. It is relatively close and a standby for many. You are likely to find the trails well traveled so if you want a secluded hike, this is not likely the one for you on most days (it can happen sometimes but don't count on it). It DOES have a great view of the city over an expanse of treetops to reward you though and can offer a solid bit of cardio if you want it to.

This venue it very close to the house. They host a wide array of events throughout the year. If you have tickets to anything at the Coliseum and that is what is bringing you to Charlotte, this is a very handy location for you.

Very cool dive bar on a plot of land the owners refused to sell so it's surrounded by a housing development. Fun fact, Mick Jagger was recently hanging out there after a show...so there's that to lend to the dive bar credit I suppose.
