Shopping in Charlotte

There's a great little area in Charlotte called NoDa (North Davidson Street). This little arts district, the SoHo of Charlotte,  has all kinds of boutique shops as well as adorable bars and cafes. 

Known for hand made jewelry, hats, clothing, as well as earthly home decor and gifts, NoDa is the perfect destination for all your gift giving needs... and chances are you'll end up with a little something for yourself as well. The eclectic food options range from gourmet crepes to fish tacos to classic cajun and creole cooking.  Warm up with a gingerbread latte at the Smelly Cat Coffehouse, which is probably worth going to for the name alone.  Pick up a "C'mon Get Smelly" t-shirt...  you can pretty much guarantee no one back home will have one like it!

NoDa hosts a free Gallery Crawl every 1st and 3rd Friday of the month. You can browse the neighborhood's swanky galleries while enjoying smooth music played by local street musicians. 

Visit the popular watering holes, meander through the fine collection of galleries, shop in the boutiques or bring your pets to the doggie bar (where humans are welcome as well)!  If you are looking for a marketplace for fun, beautiful and unique items,  NoDa is a great destination.
