Charlotte/University City

University_City_aerial - University City

University City is a semi-urban area in the northern reaches of Charlotte. It is centered around a "downtown" area located at the intersection of N. Tryon St. and W.T. Harris Blvd. The rest of University City is mostly sprawled and suburban, but contains major establishments such as the University of North Carolina at Charlotte (UNCC) and Verizon Wireless Amphitheater.

How to travel to Charlotte/University City

Driving is the only realistic way to explore University City because of its sprawling commercial neighborhoods. The large spaces between attractions as well as busy thoroughfares make walking prohibitive outside the very core of the neighborhood. However since Spring of 2018 the LYNX Blue Line light rail development on N. Tryon Street (US-29) is encouraging more pedestrian friendly crossings at the stations.

When coming from central Charlotte and the "gateway" to University City is the complicated intersection of U.S. highway 29 and N.C. highway 49; these roads create an unusual "weave" that can be troublesome for first-time visitors. Other major avenues include I-85, I-485, and large thoroughfares such as University City Blvd. and Mallard Creek Church Rd.

The ' LYNX Blue Line' light rail's northern terminus is located in University City. Visitors can ride the light rail from Uptown into University City. Stations in this neighborhood neighborhood include University City Blvd, McCollugh, J.W. Clay Blvd, and UNC Charlotte Main. Park-and-Ride garages can also be found on US-29 for transportation from University City into Uptown Charlotte and other light rail accessible neighborhoods.

The Charlotte Area Transit System (CATS) bus service also provides an option for those coming from central Charlotte, though their usefulness is limited. Routes #11 and #29 serve University City. They are most effective when used in conjunction with a vehicle (park-and-ride) or taxi.

Finally, University City is accessible from the Mallard Creek and Toby Creek Greenways. This greenway system serves the local residential neighborhoods located to the northwest of University City along Mallard Creek Road and Prosperity Church Rd. The paths feed from these neighborhoods into the main campus of UNC Charlotte and the commercial neighborhood nearby the intersection of US-29 and I-485. The greenways are entirely paved with hard asphalt or soft limestone and follow the watershed stream systems of North Charlotte. Foot and bicycle traffic is allowed.

What to See

• University of North Carolina at Charlotte - The city's public university, located in the growing northern side of the city. It is a rapidly expanding suburban campus, but still lacks the on-campus vibrance of a larger state school. From a traveler's point of view and there's not much to see there on an ordinary day.

Top Muslim Travel Tips for Charlotte/University City

• PNC Music Pavilion 707 Pavilion Blvd ☎ +1 704 549-5555 - Located in the University area, thit is the location of Charlotte's summer concert series. Seats up to 20,000 including general-admission lawn space; larger concerts will typically sell out. If you purchase lawn seats you may rent chairs, but for a larger show you will probably not be able to use them.

• Smokin' Cue 10901 University City Blvd ☎ +1 704 548-0882 - A swimmingpool hall that takes the game seriously. One of the city's best places to find a competitive game, as well as a reliable cue retailer.

Halal Restaurants & Food in Charlotte/University City

• Ninety's Sandwiches and Ice-cream, 9009 J Monday Keynes Drive, Suite #4, +1 704-547-1856. Not fast-food, but not dine-in either. Fast, delicious and super friendly service. Ice-cream there is a perfect treat for summer weather and it is a great place to grab a bite as you sit enjoy the summer concerts. Wonderful place for family.
• Zapata's, 8927 J.M. Keynes Blvd (just off N. Tryon St. in the University area), +1 704-503-1979. Probably Charlotte's best Mexican (though some Spanish-speaking joints on the east side might beg to differ). Relatively upscale, Zapata's enjoys one of the best restaurant locations in the University area: perched over a picturesque lake, across from the Hilton hotel, and within minutes of shopping destinations. Almost everything on the menu is good, including the drink specials.
• Ciro's, 8927 J Monday Keynes Dr., +1 704-510-0012. Upscale Italian located in the strollable center of the University area. High-end service and prices, and an excellent menu.

• Tipsey McStumble's 10008 University City Blvd ☎ +1 704 503-6300 - From the name to the drink specials, McStumble's makes no apologies for its souvenirsy interpretation of "Irish" drinking culture. Not the least bit authentic, but vibrant and fun. On football weekends, expect to see a lot of Dallas Cowboys and (of course) Notre Dame fans.

• Boardwalk Billy's Raw Cafe & Ribs, 9005-2 J Monday Keynes Dr, +1 704-503-7427. Popular beach-themed restaurant. Frequent drink specials.
