Supperland resides in a restored mid-century church on a corner block in Plaza Midwood.

The elegant place once celebrated life's most important occasions.

Architecturally the owners retained the main buildings' bones, including the windows, the center aisle, the main dining room, the staircase, and the wood floors.

Try out the custom-made goodness through locally-sourced options.

We love this special of fresh pan-seared scallops, local crawfish, garlic butter, roasted tomatoes, zucchini, and house-made croutons.

And while you can order spectacular beverages with your meals, the Bar at Supperland is located in the smaller building, offering a DJ every Saturday night and an interesting absinthe service.

And some of the most exciting aspects of Supperland are the Speakeasy experiences by reservation only, offering one-of-a-kind coursed cocktails with small-bite pairings, in an intimate bar.

Save room for dessert, such as the new and delightful Butterfly Cake.

The handsome Hezekiah Alexander, 1728–1801, will greet you on your journey to the past on eight acres that were once a part of his 600-acre farm.

Constructed with stone quarried from the property, the stone walls at the widest part are 2 feet thick.

Before it became the lovely place it is today, this 1949 photo illustrates restoration efforts by the Daughters of the American Revolution.

A celebratory ringing of the American Freedom Bell is also included.

Originally owned by Doctors J. P. Matheson and C. N. Peeler, Dunhill Hotel was built in 1929 as Mayfair Manor Hotel Apartments the same year as The Wall Street Crash.

Some traditional furnishings also keep the history near.

Welcome to The Diamond!

George Motz, who hosted the Travel Channel show "Burger Land" visited The Diamond in 2013.

Known for its iconic burgers, The Diamond offers sandwiches that can only be described as masterpieces.

Another day brought in London's No. 1 swing band The Jive Aces, who stopped in to eat before playing at Chantilly Hall.

Maybe they enjoyed the sandwich special, Big Fish Burrito.

Local celebrities are also known to hang out at The Diamond, including the Best Drag Performer, named by "Creative Loafing Charlotte," Beth Ann Phetamine.

Speaking of desserts, you must have cake with a side of beer.

Even Santa has been spotted at this iconic diner.

CLT's mission is to be the preferred airport and airline hub by providing the highest quality product for the lowest possible cost, which explains the long-standing history.

Charlotte received Works Progress Administration funds to establish Charlotte's first municipal airport which at the time was the largest-single WPA project in the U.S.

Then in 1954, the Douglas of Charlotte Douglas International Airport came into the picture.

Some of the aircraft models near the Aviation History display hang from the ceiling.

As a commercial-civil-military facility, the airport also houses the Charlotte Air National Guard base and its host unit, the 145th Airlift Wing of the NC Air National Guard.

Air Force One has been known to pop in now and again, carrying precious cargo.

Explore the many lands in this beautiful world.

Originally the home of the J.B. Ivey’s Department store, the historic Ivey’s building opened its doors in Charlotte in 1924, not the first location of the store.

Today its presence is a luxurious, eclectic mix of old and new still inviting folks in to enjoy the latest in design and fashion.

First, let's take a rest from our travels. In all its glamour, taking the stairway down to Sophia's Lounge is maybe more exciting than having a drink there.

The drinks are just as exciting. Order a craft cocktail, like the Madding Crowd.

Try a sharable plate of the catch-of-the-day and fresh veggies to save room for a decadent dessert.

But to really experience The Ivey's lushness at its finest, stay in one of the 47 rooms with such fine Parisian-inspired details as reclaimed 400-year-old French oak floors and custom-designed lighting fixtures.
