"Nineteen floors up the Kimpton Tryon Park Hotel lives Merchant and Trade, with sleek fire pits, a stunner of an indoor and outdoor bar, an on-the-edge countertop with a cityscape view, and lots and lots of photo-ops. The flashy, fancy feel can be savored with a fair share of small plates (or not-so-small chicken and waffles) and an Elijah Craig old fashioned. Start the evening here with golden hour, or cap the night with a crowd and a skyscraper sky." - Vox Creative
