SOUL GASTROLOUNGE Soul isn't the new kid on the block anymore, but the spot still is one of the coolest places to go for a night out in the city. Not only do they serve up tasty grub (the truffle fries are banging), they also provide a delectable soundscape via a rotating cast of DJs. On top of that, the crowd is cool, the space is pretty and the drinks are yummy (and cheap). 1500 Central Ave., Suite B 704-348-1848 www.soulgastrolounge.com
