Charlotte's Best: Restaurant Edition

Charlotte has a lot to offer, but one of my favorite things is the wide variety of authentic, delicious food! Whether you're in the mood for breakfast, lunch, dinner or dessert, one of these places will definitely strike your fancy! These are just a few of my favorite local restaurants:

Terrace Café

Terrace Café, located in both Ballantyne and SouthPark, is one of my preferred brunch spots. From mouth-watering omelets to fruit platters to red-velvet waffles, there is definitely something here for everyone! They also have an equally delicious lunch and dinner menu!

Royal Café & Crêperie

Located in Downtown Matthews, Royal Café and Crêperie is the perfect place for crepe lovers. This quaint, charming spot is great for a quick, delicious meal with friends! For first timers, I would definitely recommend the Italian Job and the S'more Crepes.


Hasaki Grill & Sushi

Located right near BB&T Ballpark and Romare Bearden Park in Uptown Charlotte, Hasaki Grill is excellent for those looking for sushi or hibachi on a budget!

131 Main

Although it may tend to be more on the expensive side, this is one of my all-time favorite restaurants. Perfect for a special occasion or date night, 131 Main has a wide variety of steaks, seafood, and gourmet salads. There are currently four locations: Blakeney, Dilworth, Lake Norman, and Asheville.

Amelie's French Bakery

Amelie's French Bakery, located in NoDa, has become a more popular destination among Charlotteans over the years. Even though it has become more well known, you can't get tired of its' beautiful and unique french decor and delicious desserts. My absolute favorite is the Strawberry Mousse Cup, something I would recommend to all chocolate lovers!

Illios Noche

Illios Noche has been described as the perfect blend of Greek and Italian food. Noted for being "sophisticated yet still kid friendly," I would definitely recommend this restaurant to families!

Cantina Fifteen Eleven

A delicious Mexican place located next to Firebirds in Stonecrest. Although it may be a little more expensive than your average Mexican food, the wide variety of tacos and quesadillas make it worth it!

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
