It's hard to believe that it was only a week ago that I was traveling through the south with the Feedfeed and the Luxury Collection eating our way through three cities in style. We had some unforgettable meals and stayed in some veryyy luxurious hotels. I am completely floored by this experience, happy to have made some new friends and truly in awe of the Southern hospitality. It *is* a thing.
// CHARLOTTE // The Ballantyne
Highlights include:
- a delicious walking food tour in the NoDa district

- morning strolls exploring the grounds
- a coin toss at the fountain
