"I can eat at The Market at 7th Street, an indoor food court in Charlotte highlighted as a wallet-friendly place to dine." - Patricia Doherty Patricia Doherty Patricia Doherty is a writer who specializes in covering destinations, resorts, and cruises for Travel + Leisure and other publications.

"This market bustles with people sampling everything from crepes to local brews. Ideal for a midday office break and lazy weekend afternoons over coffee and treats, it's a casual spot for friends to catch up and just right for a Saturday night break for couples with kids in tow. Families love how laid-back it is, and it's just right for grabbing coffee with a friend or swinging by before a night out. It's made for tasting, so come hungry and pick your way through: Start with breakfast at SC Café, followed by dumplings at Momo Station. Nibble on cheese at Orrman's, where there are more than 100 different types. There's so much more, including standout coffee that's worth the trip alone." - Nancy DePalma

"Stop by 7th Street Public Market, an incubator for local food businesses such as Orrman’s Cheese Shop and Assorted Table Wine Shoppe."

"Plan to spend a little bit of time at this wide open, one-stop shop for wines, cheeses, coffees and counter-service dining options. Get a cappuccino at Not Just Coffee, artisanal Italian foods at Zia Pia Imports, an acai bowl at Rico’s Acai, a freshly baked pizza by Pure Pizza, a raw juice from Viva Raw — the list goes on. There’s plenty of seating inside, plus free WiFi. Stay awhile." - Katie Toussaint

Uptown’s nonprofit public market incubates local vendors, many women- and minority-owned, and hosts art crawls and pop-ups. A reliable launchpad for exploring the center city by light rail.
