South End Charlotte is slower and more relaxed in comparison to Uptown. South End is filled with a wide variety of food options including American grill, Korean BBQ, and a large selection of Breweries. After lunch you can take a walk on the rail trail that runs the length of the Charlotte light rail system or try indoor rock climbing at Innerpeaks.
Plaza Midwood is a fun walkable neighborhood with a mixture of modern and historic Charlotte. One place we'd be sure to make a visit to is the Thirsty Beaver. This dive bar is nestled in the middle of an apartment development that was forced to build around them when they wouldn't sell.
