Davidson is one of Charlotte’s most charming suburbs. It has the best of both worlds with a walkable downtown area and access to Lake Norman. Consider adding these suggestions to your Davidson bucket list.
Experience a Fabulous Meal at Kindred
Kindred has ranked among Charlotte’s best restaurants for years, despite not actually being in Charlotte. Even the bread course is memorable, thanks to their famous Milkbread. Pro tip: Grab a drink and sit by the water at Hello, Sailor — Kindred’s much more casual sister restaurant just one town over.
Shop ‘til You Drop on Main Street
Downtown Davidson has a number of local businesses you can peruse through all day. We suggest making a stop at Main Street Books and The Village Store.
Satisfy Your Sweet Tooth at Whit’s Frozen Custard
Whit’s has been a staple sweet treat stop in Davidson for a decade now. They have a few signature flavors, but you can also make your own! Choose your base custard flavor and mix in any of the dozens of toppings.
Get Your Groceries at Davidson Farmers Market
The market opens for the season in early April. Soon you’ll be able to shop fresh locally grown produce, meats and baked goods. The community event also features live music, food trucks and more during its prime.
Stroll Davidson College’s Campus
Steph Curry’s former stomping grounds are often ranked among the most beautiful college campuses. It’s easy to see why once you step foot on the brick paths lined by century-old trees and storied architecture.
Step Back in Time at The Soda Shop
Since 1951, The Soda Shop has been slinging burgers, dogs and other nostalgic American classics. Don’t skip the fresh-squeezed limeade.
Grab a Burrito from Carrburritos
The Chapel Hill area-based Mexican restaurant has a simple but delicious menu, available for lunch and dinner. Stop in between meetings or take the family for a casual dinner out. We recommend building your own bowl.
