This weekend was all about being lazy. I think this was the first lazy weekend we have had this year. Which is pretty sad since it is already June...
Friday night we opted to go eat at a local joint. We are trying to savor local Charlotte places since there will come a time when we can no longer visit these places on a whim. We decided on Charley's in Cotswald. We were excited because we have not been to Charley's in some time and they have outdoor dining (a plus in our books). As we walked up to the restaurant we were excited to see a guy playing live music in the common outdoor eating area. We managed to walk all the way up to the door before we realized Charley's was CLOSED - they appeared to be updating the interior and a sign on the door said: Under New Management. So that was a HUGE disappointment :(
Our options at this point were to 1) eat a Salsarita's {a chain TexMex place where we could still enjoy the live music} 2) try out Blue Basil {a newer restaurant with a semi-pricey menu and few people eating there} or 3) go to Wolfman Pizza {our absolute fave pizza joint, but no live music}.
We opted for Salsarita's. We shared Chicken Nachos and a Chicken Quessadilla and enjoyed the music. Then it started raining. We had a nice evening anyway. After our meal, we went over to Books-A-Million to peruse magazine's and books. This is a favorite past time {though we haven't done this is FOREVER, too busy I guess}. After the bookstore, we hit up a RedBox at Harris Teeter and went home to enjoy a movie in the comfort of our home.
It was a lovely evening which set the tone for the whole weekend... Nice to have a really low key weekend for a change.

I'm a big fan of dates that involve food. And live music? Even better! Too bad your restaurant choice was closed, but at least you found another good backup option.
ReplyDeleteWe were def sad about the closed restaurant, but it turned out to be a good date anyways :)

I think this weekend is going to be another low key one (at least for me since I am not the one doing the traveling).
