COSMOS CAFE
300 N College St
Charlotte, NC
704-372-3553

Wow! This place is hard to explain. Part bistro, part nightclub, part sushi bar, part dance club. Well, you just have to go there. The menu is quite eclectic, featuring everything from sushi to tapas, and the really good news is that they serve excellent food until 2 AM! So much for those street vendor hot dogs. Unless you want one of those hot dogs. I'll take a Spider Roll!


THOMAS STREET TAVERN

RU SAN'S
