Drive just 30 minutes south of Uptown and you’ll reach Ballantyne, a swanky neighborhood that practically borders South Carolina.

Why it matters: Ballantyne is in the midst of a transformation. The biggest draw to the area is arguably what’s yet to come…

What to expect: Olde Mecklenburg Brewery, Charlotte’s oldest craft Brewery and The Bowl’s anchor tenant, will open its new biergarten and restaurant at The Bowl on June 1.

• Other upcoming include Flower Child and North Italia from James Beard-nominated chef Sam Fox, reformer pilates studio [solidcore] and Fly Kid Fly, a new coffee spot from the owners of HEX Coffee Roasters.
