Three top real estate agents share their go-to Charlotte gems - including one we did not see coming [Partner]

The knowledgeable agents at Savvy + Co. Real Estate do more than help buyers and sellers realize home ownership dreams, they are Queen City aficionados. Need somewhere to take out of town guests or want to get out of your same-old, same-old rut and try someplace new? From art to coffee, these agents have the perfect suggestion no matter what your crew is into.

Art lover

Agent: Mike Gibbons

Top Choice: Charlotte Art League (CAL)

“Over the years, nothing has made me personally prouder than being able to introduce so many people to the talented and passionate Charlotte artists at CAL. For over 50 years, CAL has served as an accessible gateway to the arts experience for art lovers of all ages and backgrounds.”

Cocktails anyone?

Agent: Victor Ahdieh

Top Choices: Cocktail lounges with a sense of style

“Sophia’s Lounge in Uptown is a neat, new hang out spot! The Punch Room also has a luxurious cocktail lounge. Also Coco and the Director is a modern coffee shop.” A C5 note: If Coco and the Director isn’t the best name for anything ever, we don’t know what is. I hope they sell t-shirts.

Market cruising

Agent: Kate McGee

Top Choices: The Common Market, 7th Street Public Market, Alexander Michaels

“The 7th Street Public Market is a great place for visitors to check out. With a plethora of food vendors, a bar, free wi-fi, communal tables, an impressive wine shop and lots of local goods for sale, it’s a great way to sample Charlotte in a single stop. Be sure to grab a pour-over from Not Just Coffee to keep your energy up.”

A Halloween Wine Tasting tonight 6-8pm Plaza Midwood. Taste 5 freaky wines: a bad Washington chardonnay, a disrespectful French cab, terrible Cali red blend, & a horrible Spanish red. The night menu tonight is inedible. #thecommonmarketplazamidwood #thecommonmarket #commonmarket #CM #plazamidwood #creativeloafing #charlottesgotalot #charlottenc #visitcharlotte #winecharlotte #nodaclt #noda #winetastings #winecharlotte #nodaclt #drinklocal #cltwine #vanmiller #cltwine #28205 #704 #drinklocal
