OPTIMIST HALL
The name says it all! The outlook will always be more optimistic after you enjoy delicious eats, browse the shops or throw back a cocktail. The building originally started out as one of Charlotte's largest textile mills, but has been renovated into a playful retail, modern office space and maybe the most important...it's impressive food court. Known as a foodie haven, every type of food is represented and of course, you can get a little something from a variety of places - what's not to love about that? With a variety of cozy little indoors nooks to relax and some great outdoor spaces to take in the gorgeous Charlotte weather, it's the place to be year-round.
