Midnight amtrak crescent atl to charlotte 🚂 🇺🇸 | Black-owned restaurants, art & history in charlotte
Let’s travel and eat in Charlotte! 🌻 Open for more info y’all!
My U.S train travel tour has become a food tour at this point haha! But I’m happy to share my recommendations for a solo train trip to Charlotte. After taking the night train from Atlanta, I spent the week in Charlotte. I was very tired by this point in my trip and even got a little sick one morning. So enjoy the night train experience and the food I was able to hit. We have three more train rides until the finale!!

    I did this train trip in two parts back in 2015. Part one was KC (where I was living at the time and where I'm at in my picture on here) to LA, then to Emeryville(SF) via the Coast Starlight for a wedding. Then I was on the 2015 NerdTrain where we did the Seattle to Chicago Empire Builder and then I went home via the Chief. I am overdue a long-distance trip, namely doing the Coast Starlight again!
