Charlotte Magazine

Our city shapes who we are. We are ambitious, intelligent, and focused, always striving to improve each day. When our city rejoices, we join in the celebration, and when it faces hardships, we share in the sorrow. Since the first edition of Charlotte magazine came out in 1968, we've witnessed every triumph and challenge. For nearly fifty years, we've served as a monthly snapshot for our dedicated readers who cherish Charlotte. We leverage our experience to offer insights into the present moment. We understand that every narrative—whether it’s ours, yours, or that of your neighbor—contributes to the greater story of Charlotte.

    A few years ago, new Italian restaurants were springing up all over Charlotte. Now, it seems, Mediterranean cuisine is the next big food trend. Fast-casual chains like Zoës Kitchen, now owned by former rival Cava, have already tapped into America’s appetite for fresh, healthy options. So have local and regional chains like Mezeh and Yafo Kitchen. In the past two years, Limani, Chapter 6, Yassou Greek, and Albertine have all joined Charlotte’s growing roster of upscale Mediterranean eateries.

    The upside of inconvenience My search for positivity during ominous times has grown desperate and almost comical. My latest theory: Knitting will help.

    One of my kids likes fast roller coasters, and the other doesn’t (yet). Both have fun when we visit Silver Dollar City in Branson, Missouri. My older daughter adds one, and only one, big coaster every time we go there. I think of our trips there as pencil lines on a door frame—only they represent chutzpah instead of vertical growth.

Despite a slew of efforts to ease the problem, it persists, even worsens, in the face of soaring land and home prices. A new book by Charlotte historian Tom Hanchett chronicles the tenure and depth of the issue and what might—might—be done to make it better. Walking through First Ward in uptown on a warm late-winter afternoon, Tom Hanchett sees layers of the city invisible to most people.

    “Authenticity” is an overused word in restaurants, but it still can make the difference between a food experience that excels and one that falls flat. Here’s what authenticity looks like at Thai Taste: The walls are adorned with gongs and paintings from a Thai flea market that shimmer with golden paint. Ruby-colored umbrellas hang from the ceilings. Beneath them, in heels, scurries Chiengthong Kongkham, who’s owned the restaurant on East Boulevard in Dilworth since 1988.
