of socializing – it has been tough going. And while things will no doubt continue to be different going forward – for the immediate future at least – this time of change is a time of growth.
From the Publisher Like it or not, we have all been through it over the past couple of months. Some of it has been good – we have had less time to be wrapped up in the ‘busy’ and could actually focus on well-earned rest and repair. Some of has been bad – the uncertainty, the isolation, the fear. And some of us have been downright creative – hands up who’s use lockdown to earn a new skill? Mostly though, it has been a time for solid refection. Everything we do has to be re-evaluated. From the way we work to the way we work out, from who we can see to how we can interact, keeping socially distanced instead
Now down to business, I want to personally thank the thousands of people who voted in the 2020 Elevate Lifestyle Awards, “THE BEST OF THE CITY.” The voting took place in late 2019 but with COVID we pushed back the printing and the release of the magazine to August 2020. We are presenting over 500 winners in the following seven categories: culture, dining, entertainment, fashion, fitness, lifestyle, and nightlife in this issue. Browse through this issue to familiarize yourself with some of the hottest nightlife spots, trendiest boutiques, coolest breweries, juiciest restaurants, and numerous other gems in the Queen City. So, remember to keep this issue handy, and whether you’re looking for the finest steak house in Charlotte, the perfect place to catch some live music, or where to grab the tastiest cocktail allow this issue to be your guide to “THE BEST OF THE CITY.” Just say thank you, Elevate Lifestyle! *The magazine is available online at Issuu. com/ElevateLifestyle See you next year, Steve Caldwell, Elevate Lifestyle
