"Continuing the breakfast theme, these cupcakes take a brunch favorite and infuse its flavor into their recipe. Sunflour features many delicious breakfast and lunch options, but will surely blow you away with their dessert lineup."

"For a more laidback option that still has a great variety, try nearby Dandelion Market. The trendy eatery was inspired by an Irish market in Dublin, and now serves fare from all over the world."

"Whether you are an early bird or a dedicated night owl, the RedEye Diner can serve up the breakfast of your choice 24 hours a day. The diner serves up farm-fresh AA grade eggs cooked just the way you like them, accompanied by your choice of sides. There are several mouth-watering omelets to choose from, all served with grits, hash browns, toast, biscuit, or fresh fruit."

"It could not be easier for you to satisfy your sweet tooth on the way out of the EpiCentre than with a stop at RedEye Diner, which is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, for pies, cakes, banana splits, milkshakes and more."

"Local Loaf is a restaurant, pâtisserie, and bakery all in one, in Charlotte’s NoDa neighborhood. It’s known for fresh-baked artisan bread and gourmet sandwiches. Order this: The Chicken and Egg breakfast sandwich."

"The full menu is available, as well as homemade bread and pastries, plus basic grocery items like milk, wine, eggs, and beer. Place your order online."

"We suggest going to Romare Bearden Park for an excellent view of the city’s beautiful skyscrapers, the Charlotte Knights Stadium and several charming waterfalls that light up at night. The Green is another wonderful option — it’s a one-acre pocket park that has all sorts of sculptures, fountains and interesting novelties to enjoy and explore. Right across from The Green you’ll see the strikingly beautiful Firebird sculpture in front of the Bechtler Museum. The glitzy display (some people call it the Disco Chicken) stands at 17 feet, 5 inches tall and is decorated with more than 7,500 pieces of mirrored and colored glass that catch the Southern sun perfectly at any time of day."

"Couples with a love of America’s pastime can create memorable pictures at Truist Field, consistently named among the best minor league ballparks in the country. Coordinate with Knights event managers by contacting charlotteknights@charlotteknights.com. There is a charge of $250 for a one-hour shoot, but all proceeds go to charities chosen by the Knights."

"Going out the ballgame is especially fun when you’re in Charlotte, North Carolina. You can come to BB&T Ballpark and catch a home game from the minor league Charlotte Knights. For a great price, you can enjoy the warm weather, delicious refreshments, and plenty of Charlotte hospitality."

"Situated on approximately eight and a half acres of fabulous grounds which include stately century old trees, a visit to this luscious plantation will transport you back to life in the south in the 1900s. The house itself, built in 1815 by merchant and tax collector Archibald Frew, is known and admired for being one of the best pieces of Federal period architecture in North Carolina. Restoration and work on the historic gardens are continuing, but public tours are available and certainly worth a visit."

"Just like South Carolina, North Carolina in Charlotte offers a long history that dates back since 1768. Historic Rosedale Plantation is one of the oldest pieces of architecture in the city, being established during 1807. Now, it is still well-preserved to tell its story to the general public."

"Juxtaposed by Charlotte’s hip NoDa neighborhood, the Historic Rosedale Plantation is a fully restored home taking up over 900 acres. Open for tours through the creaky building and ever-blooming garden, the space is perfect for those in search of long walks through history."

"KO Sushi, located in the heart of Uptown, offers takeout and delivery only – perfect for a lunch break or a picnic in Romare Bearden Park right down the street. From vegetarian rolls to sashimi, visitors and locals alike will have plenty of options to choose from."

"Last but not least is Toyama Express Japanese Restaurant and you have got a complete list of the best Japanese restaurants to try in Charlotte. The casual restaurant serves Teriyaki Wings and Spring Rolls, among others, for appetizers. Sweet Carrots and Scallops will be your excellent side dishes."

"Ahi tuna a la plancha, riso nero Venere, crispy micro salad . A photo posted by Aqua e Vino (@aquaevino) on May 18, 2016 at 3:31pm PDT. The chef of this Northern Italy boutique restaurant came from Milan and strives to bring the Italian food lifestyle to Charlotte."
