A Weekend at Pamlico Station in the Outer Banks

6 days ago | qcexclusive.com | Eleanor Merrell

Late Night, Good Food at Pie.Zaa Charlotte NC

2 weeks ago | qcexclusive.com | Eleanor Merrell

Step into Pie.Zaa Charlotte NC near Wooden Robot in South End and the first thing you’ll notice is the music (it’s loud), and then the vibes (they’re good), and then the smells (mouthwatering) – all in quick succession. What you’re smelling is classic New York City style pizza. Thin crust, crunchy mouthfeel, and giant slices whipped up by a casual eatery with character and counter service. Owner Tyler Kotch first opened Pie.Zaa in Asheville in 2020.

Sparkle and Metallic from Beth Keim

This 4,600 square foot custom build in Davidson has three bedrooms and four baths. An open floor plan fosters a seamless flow between the living room, kitchen, and dining room. Additionally, two home offices, a spacious media room, and a home gym give this house all the trappings of a post-pandemic home. It’s one space where all the essential activities of a busy life can occur. And that’s partially thanks to interior designer Beth Keim.
