We hope you plan on sticking around the Queen City this weekend, because there’s more than enough going on. Here’s a look at what to do and where to go this weekend in Charlotte.
Foodie? Don’t miss our new weekly #scoopEATS post about Where to Eat This Week. Bloody’s, Makers, Wine & more. Maybe we should call it Where To Drink Like A GrownUp This Week…?
Need some Rated G Family To Do’s Instead? Here’s our weekly round up on those.
Looking for the best Festival to hit? Check our list here.
Here are our top picks from the Lots To Do around the QC this week:
First & Half Warehouse Sale.
Wed – Fri 9/7 – 9/9 only 10a – 5p
203 W Worthington in South End.
Just because they shop at C A P I T O L and Coplon’s doesn’t mean they don’t love a killer deal ~ these First & Half sales are where the QC upper crust get their steals. Jodianne has been running these sales for years and they are a well-dressed girl’s secret weapon to major savings. She is clearing the racks with a Down & Dirty Warehouse Sale this week only, prices will be $2 to $25. Â I’m not even sure we’re supposed to be promoting this sale but we’ll risk it, cuz we gotta share the good scoops when we see them.
Free Favor Delivery During the Game.
Starts Thursday, 9/8 and runs thru football season
Starting this Thursday, Favor will be offering residents of Charlotte free deliveries two hours before through the end of each Panther’s game.  What is Favor? Delivery of whatever you need. Like Nachos. Or Tacos. And Napkins. Or Dry Cleaning. Check them out here.
