I categorized this as food but it's really about the city rooftop view and a cocktail hour kindof establishment....the food was subpar and expensive the last several times I visited.

Definitely one of my favorites! The curry mussels and chicken waffles (brunch) are the best, in my opinion....honestly, everything on the menu is excellent!

Best pizza ever....if you like New York style. We're just over the delivery line but only a 5.3 mile drive and worth it. I recommend the University Blvd location, the other is just not as good for whatever reason.

Another local favorite not too far from here. The building was one of the first convenient stores in Charlotte in the late 1800s. Best beef stroganoff and house made dressing ever!

NoDa Arts District is only a few miles away and promotes many local artists, vendors and musicians. Highly recommend the Smelly Cat for coffee/tea. Saturdays offer locals the opportunity to showcase their products/services, weather permitting. The neighborhood theater and Evening Muse offer live music on the weekends as well as my favorite vegan place, Oh my Soul!

This is an express store and close proximity to the house. Food is limited due to size and location . I recommend the full size store off Central blvd. The closest grocery store is Food Lion...I personally feel safe but others may not bc of location Beatty Ford rd)
