First Ward Reviews

Charlotte is a great place to eat! There's restaurant week, A Taste of Charlotte, and other frequent festivals and activities where you can explore different food and drink options. The bars are a plenty just like the restaurants! The only downside is that everything pretty much shuts down at 2 am. The clubs and the bars close, and the late night food options are extremely limited. Midnight diner is a crowd favorite late night, but the line to be seated is ridiculous and almost not worth the wait time. Then again the food is so very good!
Supposedly the job market is good in this area, I just haven't had the best of luck. There are many people I know working for great companies and making good salaries. There are lots of businesses and employment potential in the area. Plus Charlotte is a growing city!
This area has very mild weather. Not too hot or too cold. The only time there may be an issue is when snow is expected. However, the city takes many precautions to keep everyone safe and everything running smoothly. Otherwise, cool autumns, mildly cold winters, warm springs, and temperate summers.
