Where To Stay, Walk, Eat And Drink With Your Dog In Charlotte
Charlotte is the largest city in North Carolina, a banking city with a modern uptown and leafy neighbourhoods such as Dilworth, Plaza Midwood and NoDa around it. A network of greenways follows the creeks through the city, the parks are generous and the breweries have made patio life a habit. The Blue Ridge Mountains are two hours to the west and the coast three to the east. It is an easy, friendly city for a dog.
