Things To Do
Atherton Mill
Shop local boutiques or some of our favorite stores (like Anthropologie, Madewell, Lululemon and Tecovas), grab a latte (their chai tea is my fav!) at Not Just Coffee, or enjoy a drink at one of the many nearby bars and restaurants.
Rail Trail
One of our all-time favorite things to do on a Saturday or Sunday morning! Take a walk (or rent a scooter, if that's your thing!) and explore South End's extensive number of restaurants and breweries along the trail. Here are some of our top choices: - Restaurants: Oku Chapter 6, Indaco, LeRoy Fox, Dilworth Tasting Room - Breweries/Bars: Sycamore, Suffolk Punch, Monday Night Brewing, Frenchy's - Dessert: Jeni's Ice Cream
Uptown Charlotte
Check out the NASCAR Hall of Fame, Romare Bearden Park (near the Charlotte Knights baseball stadium), or grab a drink at one of Charlotte's many rooftop bars and enjoy the city's skyline view. Other Uptown recommendations: - Restaurants: Sixty Vines, Deans Steakhouse - Bars: Merchant and Trade, Aura Rooftop
Freedom Park
A beautiful green space just outside of South End. Perfect for a morning walk!
U.S. National Whitewater Center
If you're up for an outdoor adventure, head to the Whitewater Center - about 25 miles from Uptown Charlotte. It's a riverside park with whitewater rafting, zip lining, rock climbing, mountain biking and peaceful walking trails.
