Urban District Market: Everything there is to eat, see and do

Urban District Market is an international food hall at the intersection of NoDa, Villa Heights and Optimist Park known as the Mill District. Why it matters: In addition to food stalls from around the world, the family-friendly spot is known for its weekend events and unique offerings, like its Gashapon machines and Japanese 7/11-inspired "SUPER" market. Catch up quick: At 20,000 square feet, UDM is part of Lintmen's, an adaptive reuse development that is also the site of Seoul Food Meat Co., Charlotte Vintage and MADabolic NoDa. Guests have the option to dine inside, on the patio, or take food to go. Stop by: Urban District Market is at 2315 N. Davidson St., near Seoul Food Meat Co., Charlotte Vintage and MADabolic NoDa. It's open daily from 8am-10:30pm. Food stall hours vary. Parking is available across the street at Seoul Food Meat Co. It's an 11-minute walk to the 25th St station LYNX Blue Line, which will take you straight into NoDa. 💭 Our thought bubble: Located about a mile from Optimist Hall, UDM is a great remote work option for those seeking free Wi-Fi, diverse food and beverage options, and plenty of seating. It's also a great spot for families, featuring a toddler-friendly supermarket setup at the entrance, a larger play area for kids at the center, a splash pad open from Memorial Day to Labor Day, and private bathrooms with changing tables for breastfeeding mothers. Food and beverage options UDM has about a dozen food stalls unique to Charlotte and family-owned and operated. Each stall has a self-order iPad at the register.
