Go. Play. See.: 4 Fun Things to Experience in Charlotte This Month
From vegetable gardening to outdoor movies
EAT FRIES FOR DINNER
If you’re a fan of this popular food truck and their loaded gourmet fries (and who isn’t?), stop by What the Fries’ new storefront on Park Road. In addition to their legendary fries, burgers, and fried bread pudding tots, you can order from an expanded menu with items like fried snapper sandwiches, wings, and loaded fry wraps. We challenge you to find a kid who would turn down a pile of fries for dinner. 10707 Park Rd., Ste. R, whatthefriesclt.com

CATCH AN OUTDOOR MOVIE
As part of Spindle Bar’s week of spring break festivities at Optimist Hall, they’ll host a movie night in the courtyard on Saturday, April 3 at 6 p.m. Admission is free, and “sack dinners” are available for purchase at Ava Pizzeria. Grown-up sacks are $12 and include a cocktail; the kid-friendly version is $7 and comes with a juice box. Spread out a blanket or set up a lawn chair and settle in to watch “10 Things I Hate About You” on the Spindle Bar TVs. spindlebar.com
