Plaza Midwood
Theres no neighborhood as cool as Plaza Midwood in the nations capital, and your restaurants are certainly better. OK, so Will Smith never actually said this. But anyone can see why folks mightve fallen for the Observers April Fools Day gag. Living in PM has its perks: Some of the best food and hippest hangouts sit in walking distance of the beautiful historical homes, while new construction reflects the growing popularity of the area, complimenting the eclectic look and feel of what is inarguably the center of Charlottes melting pot. Ask anyone who lives here, and theyll tell you theres not a better place to hang your hat (in Charlotte, that is).
