Xchange Tastes
Crossroads Charlotte is proud to be the Presenting Sponsor for Taste of the World and invites the community to Xchange Tastes during this special event!
The Taste of the World event annually provides an opportunity for participants to savor the miles of flavor in East Charlotte’s culturally diverse district. A favorite of Charlotte epicureans, Taste of the World is founded and organized by E.A.S.T. (Eastland Area Strategies Team).
Participants in Taste of the World not only get to sample the various cuisines, but via Crossroads Charlotte Xchange Tastes also have an opportunity to interact with each other and the owners of the restaurants in which they are dining. Crossroads Charlotte guides conversations and encourages participants to meet others during the experience.
A restaurant guide is compiled each year, and you can download them using the links below.
THIS YEAR'S EVENT IS OCTOBER 6, 2011

“Well,” said David Ashley, settling heavily into his seat on the bus, “I’m still hungry.” This was a joke. No one was hungry.

Now, at 8:30 p.m., three hours into Taste of the World, eyelids... read more
