A Market for Hipsters...Ain't Stoppin' Me!

Where Hipster Meets Local Gal!

I'll take a Beer with My Skinny Jeans!

The Common Market

I don't care what people say, the Hipster Kids got it goin' on!! I know they cry often, dress funky, and love a miserable time...but for once, they got it right with, The Common Market, located right in the heart of South End Charlotte. I LOVE THIS PLACE!!

The Common Market is stocked with a great Wine & Beer selection, super yummy food (breakfast, soup, salads, sandwiches, wraps, sides) all made with quality ingredients...a lot of gluten-free, vegan, and vegetarian options as well. They have a bunch of really unique snacks, chocolate bars, cupcakes, side salads, and drinks...like trendy and cool?? It hit the nail on the head. Like Live Music?? Pop your bottle right at the counter and step outside for a patio filled with eclectic tables, chairs and people...if you time it right, a great DJ or Musician will serenade you while you get your buzz on!

The String Bean: Lunch Option- Belmont, NC

I am always in search of and pleased to find cute little places with character and great eats! I love supporting local businesses, because I think they are truly important landmarks that help spread culture, unique ideas, and bring interest to our already ever-so-interesting lives. And if, we don't support these amazing little nooks, we'll be left with places likes Applebees...EWWW!! Restaurants with quality ingredients, unique combinations, and great craft beers seem to grab my attention, and it is my pleasure to point you to these hidden gems...Be Brave, life's too good to eat boring!!!!

My dad and I, had an Outdoor Photo Shoot in Belmont, NC and after our session were scouring the horizon for a place to plop down for some eats!! As we were driving through Belmont Main Street, we saw The String Bean Fresh Market & Deli and dropped in for some patio action!! What a treat, this place is absolutely adorable!! Not only a great shaded patio area, but an amazing fresh seafood casing as you walk in, and a long list of craft beers and wine.

The menu consists of fresh ingredients and amazing homemade sides with great flavor combos! It was absolutely delicious leaving both of us satisfied and feeling great!! 

Our Orders, I suggest them both...YUMMY!

My dad ordered their Flatbread Pizza, The Conmish, which is made with peppers and onions, pepperoni, and a red sauce and only $8.50.

The Bite's About to Happen...The Conmish Pizza

And After...Enjoy the Conmish

I opted for the vegetarian option, the Portabella Sandwich, which was super flavorful and one of the best Shroom Sandwiches I've had! My dad even liked it, and he normally describes mushrooms as SLIMY!! Yummy Portabella on Focaccia with a delicious Pesto Spread, Provolone, and LTO...YUM!!! It came with a side item, and I chose their Pasta Salad. Generally, I am really picky when it comes to this side, but it was made just right, no crazy amounts of mayo, great flavor, and I WANNA GO BACK NOW!! The prices weren't bad at all either. My lunch was only $7.50!
