Sometimes we fall in a rut with our friends and automatically decide to meet for coffee or cocktails. But what about other options? There are so many ways to catch up with friends! Here’s a list of ideas for catch up sessions with your best buds, drinks not included.
Work out
Grab two bicycles side by side and catch up on the week while burning calories at the YMCA Charlotte or any of these cycling studios.
Attend a cultural event
A little art, culture and chatting at one of Charlotte’s cultural institutions like The Charlotte Ballet, Harvey B. Gantt Center and Theatre Charlotte is worth the time.
Have a pedi party
There’s nothing like getting a pedicure with complimentary wine and your BFF. Check out the Mimosa Express mani and pedi at Cachet Nail Boutique.
Visit homes on the market
Gab over home viewings from Savvy and Company or Allen Tate with your buddy. Who knows, you could get some great ideas for your own places or decide it’s time for a move.
Go out for karaoke
Maybe a duet with your bestie? Belt it out at Howl at the Moon or Jackalope Jack’s.
Craft together
Get artsy together at Michael’s craft stores or a Crowned Sparrow Company event.
Have a game night
Games and gossip at Abari Game Bar?
Take a cooking class
Learn a new dish while talking to each other at Sur La Table and Whole Foods Charlotte.
Go dancing
Shake a tail feather…or whatever at The Oak Room or try the silent disco at Rooftop 210.
Go outside
Get out and enjoy the elements. Latta Park with the fall leaves is a good start. Sometimes all you need is a beautiful day to catch up with a friend.
