Proceeds from event will benefit Habitat for Humanity
Margarita fans typically don’t need an excuse to enjoy their favorite beverage, but Vida Mexican Kitchen y Cantina is providing a little extra incentive to celebrate the cocktail next week and it’s all for a good cause.
National Margarita Day is Wednesday, February 22, and Vida is commemorating the occasion with an all-day celebration featuring four of its most popular handcrafted cocktails – $5 Frozen Margaritas, $6 Vida margaritas, $7 Partita Margaritas and $8 Pomegranate Margaritas.
The uptown restaurant will also donate $1 from each of the featured margaritas sold on National Margarita Day to Habitat for Humanity.
“We are excited to partner with Habitat for Humanity for our National Margarita Day celebration,” said Andrea Jones, Sales and Marketing Manager at Vida. “Drinking our handcrafted margaritas for a good cause and giving back to an organization that does a lot of for our community brings that much more excitement to Margarita Day at Vida.”

Well, Smalls isn’t literally killing me, but this new restaurant springing up in the fun and dynamic Elizabeth neighborhood of Charlotte has certainly created a menu to die for! From the Molasses Lacquered Pork Belly small plate, to the Crispy Chicken with salted caramel butter entrée, to the Chocolate Orbit Cake, Smalls has something to satiate any appetite or craving. The grand opening in early January 2012 opened more than just its doors to the Queen City, the eatery opened up a new perspective on dining, focused on providing esteemed guests with inspired cuisine, unparalleled service, and an environment that is purposefully addictive.
City Tavern
Dimly-lit dining rooms, large booths to snuggle up in, and an extensive martini list puts City Tavern on our list of Valentine’s hot spots. And with a new location in SouthPark slated for opening this month, apparently Charlotte agrees, as this will be the third City Tavern in the QC.
AtlantaFresh Artisan Creamery, will begin selling its full line of popular Greek Yogurts starting January 20, 2012 in the Charlotte market. All five locations of Healthy Home Market, including the Hickory and Davidson locations will carry the yogurt. The creamery is a two-year-old small batch producer of exquisite handmade Greek Yogurt. Recently awarded its interstate dairy license by the FDA, the Atlanta, Georgia based company is now expanding throughout the Southeast. Whole Foods Market South Region was instrumental in the creamery receiving its FDA license by making available expansion capital to AtlantaFresh Creamery as part of its Local Producer Loan Program. AtlantaFresh is proud to be the first and only local Southeastern creamery supplying Charlotte with fresh milk Greek Yogurt.
Since the opening of its first location in Charlotte nearly 13 years ago, City Tavern is proud to announce its return to the Dilworth/Myers Park/Southpark area. The reputable restaurant will soon be opening its newest location at the SouthPark Mall. Owner John Weinbrenner and City Tavern customers have long awaited the return to these neighborhoods. “We’re looking forward to our return to this area of Charlotte and to our customers who were so important to our success in the early years. This will be a great opportunity to become reacquainted with some old friends and gain some new ones.”
When Mellow Mushroom opens its second Charlotte location in Ballantyne Village on December 12, patrons can feed their senses both from Mellow's famous menu and from the store's trippy décor themed from Steppenwolf’s “Magic Carpet Ride."
