Freedom Park
there is a bigger farmers market in the airport area but it can be a bit of a hajj to get to and not in as nice an area! i love walking through this south end one along the rail trail and it has a great mix and amount of vendors for me :) plus lots o...
South End Farmers Market — Charlotte, NC
this is my favorite trail in the charlotte area!! really feels like you're not in the city even though you are! shortish trails (1-3 miles ish) and has never been crowded for me. so peaceful

Common Market
take out only but this is the best thai food i've ever had period and it's reasonably priced too. it's run by two thai older ladies which instills a lot of trust in the food. wait time is always longer than they say on the phone so be prepared! great...

best drinks i've had in charlotte with such a fun and creative menu, dark vibe inside. their espresso martini with salted coconut foam is absolutely insane and the bartenders are so talented
Humbug
drinks are solid here but you really come for the vibes and for the music. they are a “listening bar” so they always have a fantastic playlist going and a record player, sometimes visuals projected onto a wall, too. black owned business that i love t...<3
