    There is a Buffalo Wild Wings right at the HOF. Fuel Pizza in front of the Convention Center. And other than those places the Epicenter is your best bet if you're staying within walking distance.

    Not only is it a good place to eat within walking distance of where he is, its one of the only places to eat within walking distance of where he is.

    Plus I really dont give a shit what others think, I find it an acceptable place to get wings if I want them.

    I have nothing for the area down there man. If you are willing to drive/cab somewhere, I could help you. But I try to stay as far away from uptown as possible when I'm back home and going out to eat.

    There's nothing really around there that's not a chain of some sort (walking distance). You're gonna have to walk up College Avenue to get to anything.

    I'd say somewhere in the epicentre is your best bet unless you're willing to cab it to a better restaurant.

    My grandparents had an interesting argument over whether it is uptown or downtown. My grandfather says it's downtown but all the yankee transplant fucks wanted to start calling it uptown. My grandmother was born in Pennsylvania

    My opinion:

    Dandelion Market - Tapas
    Chima - Brazilian Steakhouse ($$$$ but delicious)
    Basil - Thai
    Brixx - Fancy pizza
    Blackfinn - Sports bar (Epicenter)
    Enso - Sushi (Epicenter)
    Mimosa Grill - Kinda nice, not toooo expensive, but not cheap
    Nix - Burgers (Best choice for burger in CLT imo)

    ETA: StrikeCity in the Epicenter has good pizza (Liberato's) and a cool atmosphere if you want a sports bar feel and pizza.
