Guidebook for Charlotte
Food Scene
Eclectic deli and market with a huge assortment of unique drinks and food. Grab something to go or sit and eat and have a draft at the bar. Games available inside and live music outside on the weekends. One of my absolute favorite hang out spots all year. Try the breakfast burrito for breakfast or the chicken torta for lunch or dinner. You won't be disappointed.
