Coming down to Charlotte on Thursday and looking for some recommendations.

Good Morning,

My husband and I will be making the trip down from Jersey to Charlotte on Thursday afternoon and I was hoping you all could help me out a bit?  We'll be staying right near the NASCAR hall of fame and looking for things to do Thur/Fri/Sat nights.  I think we mostly know what we'll be up to during the days, but we're looking for some bars to hang at at night.  I read that Farhenheit is supposed to be nice and have a rooftop bar which sounds fun.  We're also into lively places with bands (preferably not DJs) if there are any around.  Walking distance would be great, but I'm certainly not opposed to grabbing an Uber either.  We'll also be at the Roaring Riot tailgate so maybe I'll see some of you there!

Thanks!

Howl at the Moon is a good spot in the Epicentre and usually has live music. Queen Park Social is always a good time. 

I would also recommend checking out the bars in South End down by Bland St Lynx Station. There's All American Pub, Slate, The Gin Mill, and several other bars and breweries within walking distance of that train stop. 

If you like sushi, go to O-Ku one night.

Uber or catch the light rail up to NoDa. Some cool restaurants and bars there. Or head down to southend, same thing.

Yeah,  we were thinking of doing that Saturday in the afternoon to check out the breweries.  Going to have to try to no get too ripped up during the day though, or I'll be a mess at the tailgate the next morning!

Pizza - Benny Penellos

southern food - Merts or Tupelo Honey.

Midwood smokehouse and Dish are good too, but neither is accessible to you via public transportation easily   

Hot Dog lunch - JJs

Eclectic food with badass rooftop view - peculiar rabbit (would have to Uber)

Mexican food - Cabo Fish Taco.  It gets a lot of press so people say it’s overrated, but they are wrong 

brunch- Jack Beagles, Merts or Tupelo honey. 

being from Jersey I’d eat as much southern food as you can. 

I miss anything?

Sunday brunch at Fahrenheit is excellent, it's also very close to where you're staying and offers a nice rooftop view of uptown

Thanks! I'm hoping to be out early to brunch with the roaring riot, but I definitely think I'd like to check that place out.

    • They can get film of all the games? Every team? Wow! Who knew… Our games with them are big examples of why they are in  the CB market so hard.   It is the study they do getting ready for the games.  Preparing to play against is a little different than just analyzing film in scout mode. Deeper dive. Then you are analyzing post game too.  This goes to why players often change teams but stay in the division. The opponents know each other on a higher level.  Plus if you lost to us, you used to get fired. Now you have to trade your first round pick. Moving up on the world. 
    • I honestly can’t believe this team’s turnaround this season. It’s surreal. Figured healthy we’d be fringe playoffs and with another lottery pick could finally turn the corner, but we don’t even need that. This group is ready. We haven’t played remotely well the last 5 games and yet still blew out 5 bad teams by 16+ each game like it was casual practice. We had a few solid teams with Kemba and Big Al but this is easily our best group since the original Hornets moved to NO. Man, what a shift in culture this new ownership group and front office has brought. So damn happy to see it after years of suffering and consistently meaningless games in this stretch of previous seasons.   Only 2.5 games out of the 6 seed, although Miami, Atlanta and Orlando have been playing well too. Gonna be a fun final stretch, hopefully we can get a top 8 seed at the very least. Celtics tomorrow will be a good test. Would be huge to keep the road winning streak up against a very hot top team on the 2nd half of a back to back. We’ve played Boston pretty well the last few years with much of this same group despite sucking so I do feel pretty good about it. Kon is due for a huge game coming off a few cold shooting games (although despite the poor shooting he’s been contributing well with defense, assists and rebounds).
    • It amazes me how underrated Horn has become after he finally was able to stay on the field. Sure last year wasn’t perfect but he was still a huge reason for our rebound defensively and I’d say he’s easily a top 10 corner. You don’t want to see Mike Jackson as our top corner. Any player is available for the right price but I’d be extremely hesitant to move Horn even for a big haul from LA.
