When we walked in from outside we all wanted to turn around and return to the cooler air outside. Some of the vendors had large portable cooling systems in their stalls and others didn't have some of the items on their menu because they couldn't use their cooler. Once I heard that it made me worry about food safety but no one got sick so I guess everything was kosher. I noticed on my receipt that there is a service charge attached to each purchase. When I asked about it I was told it was to keep the market clean and working but it makes you wonder with the air being out.

Alley 51 is a food hall next to Super G's International Market. they have an incredible variety of restaurants to choose from all of them from East Asia. You can find sushi, Vietnamese noodle bowls, Mongolian, beef, and even roast Peking duck. come on! How cool is that? I have tried a few of the restaurants. I especially enjoyed the Thai. I have had the drunken noodles which were delightful. I was able to add Thai chilies which helped the level considerably. The owner recommends the basil chicken fried rice. I have also enjoyed the Laoatian food. The Laab is really good. I plan to eat my way across the entire hall. I am looking forward to sampling it all.

From fresh fruit to imported sodas, chips and seasonings and that's just the grocery store part! The food court is almost hard to digest! We walked around 2 laps before deciding! Everyone is ready to serve you! Most had digital checkouts but I asked the actual persons so that I can ask recommendations I recommend order a little from a few different stands.

My best friend ended up getting us the sampler platter from La Caseta and we really enjoyed it! It was such a huge space but was a bit difficult to figure out where what was so we just ended up walking around on one side. We ended up going to Good Postage and I really loved the store! They had a little doggy walking around which was super cute and I ended up buying a sticker for my memories. I would definitely come back here if I was visiting Charlotte again!

The weather was sketchy so I didn't think it would be too crowded but that was a bad call. The parking spaces are WAY too small! Larger SUV's taking two spaces & you can't blame them.

However, I do like the variety of stores and in my case the only osh kosh and carter kids clothing stores in the area. There are multiple parking lots so finding a space has never been an issue. I came during thanksgiving/christmas and the decorations are very nice. They have signage for a variety of holiday events happening (pics of your dog and Santa etc). There is a food court, shake shack, and Starbucks. My kids love the small play structure. It is very small and probably only entertaining for kids 4 and younger. I appreciate the clean bathrooms inside the food court- especially the family restrooms which has a small toilet for kids.

Given that they have so many cuisines I was a little suspicious but all the dishes were done so well! Super flavorful, hearty and hit the spot. Meats were tender, cooked well and soaked in whatever they were paired with. The serving size is on the smaller side since it's meant to be shared so just be aware of that.

The hostess wasn't particularly welcoming, and the overall vibe felt a little flat--maybe because it was still early and they had just opened. Thankfully, our server was much friendlier. I ordered the Chinese BBQ buns and Pad Thai. The buns themselves were soft and fluffy, but the BBQ pork inside wasn't hot, which was disappointing and made me wonder how long they had been sitting. The Pad Thai, on the other hand, was tasty and very saucy. I ended up eating the buns with the Pad Thai sauce, and honestly, that combination made the meal ten times better. Overall, the food was okay, but the experience didn't leave me in a hurry to come back.

Not to be confused with the Creepycentre, which is only open on Halloween…read more It's pretty Epic at the Epic-centre. I love coming here, and do so every single time I'm in Charlotte on a weekend night, which is often lately. Very appropriately named because this really is the epicenter of Charlotte. It's lively and fun and modern and futuristic and pretty amazing. The whole multi-level palace is filled with hot people and scandalously dressed people, especially on warm nights. I made some nice friends around here (of both genders, for a change). It is the heartbeat of downtown Charlotte and a very non-traditional party area. Sort of like a party area of the future. If a mall had an older, drinking crowd and was outdoors and full of clubwear then this would be it. For this reason we love walking around here, even though parking is extremely difficult here on Friday and Saturday nights, so be careful. We've actually parked illegally and gotten away with it on several occasions, but I wouldn't recommend that to others. Lots of cops around here so don't do anything stupid. The design means that if somebody crazy decided to commit suicide, or if there was a fist fight, then it would be very easy from the higher levels to plunge down a long, long way, and there's a lot of people wandering in the courtyard below, so that worries me a tiny bit, and what about the very very drunk people leaning against the railings with a 100 foot drop down onto concrete asphalt right below them. It does worry me slightly but it's still an absolutely wonderful place.
