Technically a French bakery. This is one place you have to check out in Charlotte.. it's open 24 hrs and the space inside is humungous, lots of places to roam. Great food and desserts/pastries of course. A lot of people just go here to work and eat or hang out and eat.

I've been going to this place since I was a little girl. I really love the Italian food here and the owner there has been playing the accordion for the patrons ever since I can remember. The area is nice too, a pretty pond with a walking trail around it.

"Located in a strip mall in Plaza Midwood, Bistro La Bon serves a menu of international flavors in a romantic and cozy space. Highlights include saffron rice, crispy asparagus and avocado, and Swedish meatballs. Don’t miss Sunday brunch here—there’s a spread with everything from waffles to house cured salmon." Also has good live music from time to time.

I don't like Nascar, but This is an awesome experience. A racecar driver will rip you around the speedway at 180+ mph. Gravity will tug at your face, it's just amazing. I didn't expect to love it so much. There were about 10 of us and everyone still raves about it.
