The Neighborhood theatre is a Charlotte staple that is located in the heart of Noda. Built originally in the 1940's as a movie theater, this place has gone through a lot of changes. In 1997, the neighborhood theatre underwent renovations and became a live music venue. For the past 20+ years this location has been a Charlotte favorite and is a place to enjoy old classics and also discover new artists and music.
The Charlotte foodie scene is also growing rapidly, especially in Noda. You can start your morning off at the smelly cat coffee house & coffee roasters for a yummy caffeinated beverage paired with a delicious pastry. Amelie's french bakery is also the perfect place to enjoy a guilt-free cheat meal.
