However, I have been waiting for this show for a while.  The Jersey boys returned to the Fillmore Charlotte, May 16, 2023, and played an eclectic set […]

JD Blog / By / , , , , ,

The former space which was home to Upstream has now reopened as the beautiful Limani Charlotte restaurant! The Greek-inspired Mediterranean bistro, opened in Phillips Place and I had the pleasure of having a first look. Quality ingredients and an emphasis on simplicity yield light, clean dishes that pop with flavor and showcase the deft yet subtle hand of Executive Chef M.J. Alam and his local culinary team. Limani makes a bold first impression, with an open, airy and
