Queen's Feast
......................................................................................................................................................................
Beginning tomorrow, all of our Queen City readers will have the opportunity to “dine like royalty.” For $30 per person, you can enjoy a 3-course prix fixe dinner at some of Charlotte’s best restaurants. If you go here, you can check out the restaurants that are participating and see what menu options are being offered. I suggest checking out the menus before making your restaurant selection as some are definitely better than others.
Since I work at a naming firm, I also have to give kudos to the clever name that was given to Charlotte’s inaugural restaurant week: Queen’s Feast. Playing off of Charlotte’s nickname, the Queen City, the name Queen’s Feast provides ample opportunities to extend branding and promotional efforts directly from the name.
Don’t miss out on getting to eat at some of Charlotte’s best (and my favorite) restaurants at a fraction of the price! (Reservations Highly Recommended)

Let the festivities begin!
Charlotte is home to numerous race fans and the Food Lion Speed Street Festival has attracted thousands of these enthusiasts from not only North Carolina but also from states across the country. Celebrating its 14th year, the family-oriented event will take place on the 22nd through the 24th of May in Uptown Charlotte. Commemorating motor sports, Speed Street offers guest appearances by top Sprint Cup and NASCAR drivers, along with motor sport exhibits like race cars and burn out bikes to name a few. Speed Street is scheduled to entertain guests with artists like Kellie Pickler, Jagged Edge and Tara Allison on three different stages located across Uptown Charlotte. Admission is free. Whether you are a hard encore race addict or just simply looking for something to do over the weekend, the Food Lion Speed Street Festival is a great event to let loose, immerse yourself in the racing world, indulge in a mouth-watering hot dog and enjoy a refreshing cold beer.
