So as many of you know, there are few things we enjoy more as a couple than trying new restaurants and cocktails. The main reason we decided to get hitched in our city is so we could share a slice of our lives with all the people we love. Please take some time to explore Charlotte while you are here and enjoy!

- Dilworth Tasting Room. This is where we got engaged and truly has the best little patio in the city. Their food is great and 1/2 off select wine bottles on Thursday evenings. The charcuterie board is amazing.

- Yamazaru. We are regulars here and it may even contend for Ryan's favorite Charlotte restaurant. It's a small sushi spot with a couple of breweries nearby. Get the stir-fried green beans and the Crystal Rainbow Roll. Do it. You won't regret it.

- The Suffolk Punch. This place is a brewery, coffee bar, and restaurant, aka heaven on earth. Check out the back patio or enjoy all of the greenery inside.

- Superica. The bougiest mexican - for you Ohioans, think Nada, but more delish. Highly recommend making a meal out of a fancy marg and queso.

- Seoul Food Meat Co. KOREAN. BBQ. WINGS. Get both the soy garlic and the bbq. These are gigantic and crispy and so good. They have a nice outdoor bar and have housemade fruit beers that pair very well with wings.

- Leroy Fox. Okay, so just keeping it real, their Friday and Saturday night playlists are legit. The music selection will remind the millennials of their time at college coupled with some craft cocktails so you know you've graduated.

- Tupelo Honey. BRUNCH. Expect a wait, but you'll sure know you're in the South here. The biscuits, the grits, the carbs. This place will cure any hangover you may have. Also, the mega-mosa may be the best mimosa deal going. $9 for a pint of mimosa. I'm in.
