Weekend Getaway | Charlotte, NC 🐝 Itinerary + Food Guide

Escaped the dreary NYC rain to sunny Charlotte—instant mood boost! ☀️ Here’s my mix of adventures + Southern eats: 🏀 NBA: Hornets vs. Nuggets First NBA game = electric vibes! Pro tip: Hit the bar area for unique views. ⚠️ Bag policy is STRICT (tiny wallets only)—no storage! A kind staffer suggested hiding my bag in bushes... and it worked?! 🌿😂 🖼️ Mint Museum Art lovers, this one’s for you! 🎨 Free with BOA card or student ID discount. 🍗 Haberdish 📍 3106 N Davidson St Classic Southern comfort food—fried chicken heaven! 🍗 (Expect lines at peak times.) 🐱 Mac Tabby Cat Café 📍 3204 N Davidson St Stumbled upon this gem near Haberdish! ☕🐾 Coffee + cats (separate zones), plus a hip artsy block with vintage shops. 🍕 Gravity Sourdough Pizza 📍 1824 Statesville Ave In a repurposed factory district! Try the Tommy Boy Pizza (sweet-ish twist)—then explore the quirky boutiques! 🍔 Coastal Kitchen & Bar 📍 Hilton Hotel, 222 E 3rd St Open to all! Their Cowboy Burger (with crispy chicken skin!) is a must. 🍯 Tupelo Honey 📍 101 S Tryon St Legendary fried chicken—book ahead or pray for bar seats! 🍤 Bonus: Shrimp sandwich = crispy perfection. 🧀 The Absury 📍 235 N Tryon St Cozy spot with killer Farro Risotto (cheese lovers, rejoice!). #WeekendVibes #EscapeTheCity #SouthernEats #NBA #CharlotteAdventures #FoodieFinds #StudyAbroadLife 🏙️🍽️🚀
