The Queen City: Up With Uptown

Published: 08/24/2011 by Brie DePaulo in Business

There’s an old song you’re probably familiar with: "You can always go downtown." Well, in the Queen City, you really can’t go downtown—or at least, you shouldn’t refer to it that way. Charlotte, North Carolina doesn’t have an official "downtown" area, you see, but rather an Uptown—the very name of which signifies that the area is ever-expanding, constantly improving, and ultimately thriving, making it a perfect central hub and cultural focal point for a city that remains always on the up-and-up.

A large part of discovering the culture of a city is experiencing its cuisine. Charlotte, North Carolina is home to one of the most diverse and delicious restaurant scenes in the South, and the Taste of Charlotte festival allows residents and visitors alike the opportunity to try the various culinary arts represented by the many restaurants in the area.
