Food 🍲
This was one of the first things I discovered when I came to Charlotte and omg I LOVE! First introduction to food halls!
Optimist Hall
This is probably my favorite food hall so far. The food is delicious and it’s a plus that it’s right next to a Super G market!!
Alley 51 Website
This was one of the first things I discovered before moving here. I love the vibe and decor in here. Great to walk to the park after
The Alley at Latta Arcade
This probably some of the best pizza I’ve ever had!!
DUE AMICI PIZZA - Updated February 2025 - Yelp
This place is fairly new and it’s soooo good. In all honesty it is a bit overpriced but it’s so good.

This is all that comes out for plaza midwood but this neighborhood is probably my favorite so far. It’s such a vibe and walking around after going to giddy goat is a fav thing to do.
Plaza Midwood Homes For Sale
This is a really cute area to explore honestly. It does feel a bit more upscale but still worth a visit.

Bakeries 🧁
This quirky bakery is great. The bakery items are good and the seating is so cute! Love WFH here as well
Amélie's French Bakery & Café
I love these donuts so much. Everytime I crave a Vietnamese coffee and a donut, I make a stop here. The donuts are so soft and the perfect chew.
OMG DONUTS&BAKERY
Bars 🍷
This is one of the most creative experiences I’ve ever been to. There is no menu so they create drinks based on what you like! Love it! Must go to when friends visit.
