Center City Mouth-watering dining options NoDa A former mill village, the area along North Davidson Street drew young Center City artists to repurpose the area by setting Charlotte up an arts district about 25 years ago. A walkable thoroughfare encourages visitors to choose from casual spots like Crepe Cellar and Growler’s Pourhouse, a Draft Magazine pick for “Best Beer Bar.” Close by, Amelie’s French Bakery delights with signature salted caramel brownies. Don’t Miss: Heist Brewery } Approximately 10 minutes from the Charlotte Convention Center Plaza-Midwood Americana with a twist. A drive along The Center City Plaza charms passersby with colorful Charlotte cottages and cozy front porches with rockers. Nearby, you can rock the night in diners or with divas in an eclectic mix of music venues for any orientation. An upscale standout in this neighborhood, Bistro LaBon dishes out French tastes, while Something Classic’s homemade comfort classics never disappoint. | Arts & Cultural attractions | Plus nearby neighborhoods Just a quick drive away... Dilworth Charlotte’s first trolley neighborhood and Center City vision of entrepreneur Edward Dilworth Charlotte Latta, Dilworth with proximity to Center City derives its distinct charm from curving lanes of early twentieth-century bungalows and mansions.

Don’t Miss: Lebowski’s Neighborhood Grill } Approximately 8 minutes from the Charlotte Convention Center Elizabeth A neighbor to Myers Park, block after block of Craftsman-style bungalows would make Frank Lloyd Wright proud.
