Hey Queen City residents, editors Maria + Jack here. Between the two of us, we get the privilege of sharing local news, events, and conversations with readers in the QC, daily — here, and on our socials.
Now that we’re officially on the market, we thought we should formally introduce ourselves.
Meet Maria
Q: Describe your perfect day in Charlotte.
A: My perfect day would include... going to Snooze for breakfast with my partner, strolling through a farmer’s market, taking our dogs to Offleash at the Whitewater Center, enjoying dinner at SouthBound, followed by a nightcap at Edge City Brewery or Sophia’s Lounge.
Q: What’s your favorite breakfast, lunch, and dinner spot around town?
A: For now, my favorites are Snooze, really anything at Optimist Hall, and Peppervine.
Q: Where’s somewhere you want to explore more?
A: I’d love to take a whole day and explore Davidson, Rock Hill, and Fort Mill. I’ve only tried places here and there and would love recommendations.
Meet Jack
Q: Describe your perfect day in Charlotte.
A: A perfect day for me would be a long run on the Little Sugar Creek Greenway, followed by a day outside hiking nearby or playing pickleball at Park Road Park with my good friends + capping the day with drinks and dinner at Suffolk Punch in South End.
Q: What’s your favorite (for now) breakfast, lunch, and dinner spot around town?
A: I’m always craving biscuits + gravy from First Watch. For lunch, I’m keen to head towards Optimist Hall, and grab a thin-crust pizza from Harper’s in SouthPark.
Q: Where’s somewhere you want to explore more?
A: I’d love to take my camera and explore more of Waxhaw + the Lake Norman area. I’m a big photography fan and would love new spots focused on nature. Let me know where I should go next.
