Eat and Drink in Lake Norman
Not your cookie cutter suburb, it features one of the best restaurants in the country (Kindred), as well as a very diverse food scene including farm-to-table, great barbeque, pizza, burgers, and waterfront dining. Some of my favorite spots are Altons, Link and Pin, Alino's, Epic Chophouse, Choplins, Hello Sailor, Fork and Barrel, Midwood Smokehouse, and Dresslers just to name a few.
