Great place to shop for gifts and grab a vegan meal. Plenty of vegan and vegetarian options at multiple restaurants! Plant shop and stationary shop are so fun
Parking: Parking lot is free for first 90 minutes if you register with qr code (applies free 90 for each visit) then is inexpensive after that. Always plenty of spots.

One of the coolest places for food in charlotte. The Harriet’s burger is solid, the chai at the Indian spot tastes just like the stuff in India, and the Chinese dumpling spot is pretty authentic. When I have guests from out of town, this is one of the places I take them, and they’re always impressed. I love that you can go with a group and everyone can pick their own food, instead of trying to find somewhere that pleases everyone. They also play good music.

This was the perfect place to meet Friends for Lunch. There were several delicious FOOD options and plenty of seating areas. Be Aware, you have to pay for parking. Please scan and pay or you will receive a fine for $50 or close to that range.
Kid-friendliness: Yes
Wheelchair accessibility: Yes, Elevator is available
Highly recommended by co-workers for dining experience in Charlotte. I been to so many food hall in many cities, this is one of the biggest one out there. It has something for everyone. Sweets, bbq, Chinese, American...you name it. They have a flower shop tuck at the back and a couple proper restaurant too. Free parking for first hour, but it is usually so crowded that there are no where to sit. Cleaning crew is doing their job but during peak hours they just can't keep up. Food is good, the best is probably the dumplings. BBQ and pizza you can get much better option in the city. Prices are higher than average though I think. Nice place to hangout with friends if you find somewhere to sit.

A must when visiting the area. Stopped for lunch. Tons of options. The staff we interacted with at each place (empanadas and burger places) were so sweet and nice. There is an outside eating area as well as some tables inside. Overall great vibes!
Note on parking: there are signs in the parking lot on how to pay. It was free for 90 mins I think (but you still have to register). It checks your time in/out when you automatically pull out per your license plate. You do not have to download an app, can do through a browser. I had a rental car and there was an option to only say it'd only be in my possession temporarily (good insight to the developers).
