East Blvd, Dilworth

East Boulevard is one of the few streets in Charlotte that has it all. Food, shopping, entertainment AND parking? Okay, so the on-street parking is not perfect, but that is what the lot at the Harris Teeter is for--parking in while you shop! Starting with Thai Taste and going all the way down to Big Daddy's Burgers, East is a smorgasboard of yummy treats. Watch out after dark at the Kinko's--there was a shooting there last year that was kind of sketch . . .but after a few margaritas at 1511 Cantina you won't care. Get the guac on the patio and watch the traffic--just be sure you have a ride home as their portions on the drinks are generous!
