Smells bad

Always a great place to go when you do not know what you want to eat or can’t agree on the same thing as a family. My kids get what they want and I get what I want!

So many options to choose from and places to sit and hang out with people. If I lived in the apartments, I'd eat here every single day!

Food choices were plentiful at many price points. Lots of places to sit even though it was crowded. Parking is easier the farther you are from the building so it is easier to park at adjacent lots and walk a bit. Parking is free for 90 minutes but you have to put in plate # info and credit card info into system (easy though).

A cute a moderately busy food hall. I got matzoh ball soup and tried shrimp dumplings at another stand. It was pretty good. The vintage clothing exchange is a little pricey for the quality of clothing. Maybe these are normal prices for Charlotte, but you can find cheaper and better variety/quality in most Florida stores.

45$ parking fine, with no notice for paid parking. Establishment absolutely needs to place signs that this is paid parking only.

Fun place, we were there during our trip to NC and SC. Really liked the idea of having small vendors selling different types of foods of different heritage. Some foods were good some are just OK and some wasn't that much. But the atmosphere was awesome and if you can grab a nice table outdoors, that makes it even better.

Great variety, delicious food. Perfect for when you have a family of picky eaters...i.e., diverse tastes. Just be warned some places don't accept cash.
