One my my favorite views of the city is from the rooftop of Foundation for the Carolinas. (if you are unfamiliar, FFTC has a gorgeous event space called 200 N. Tryon and boasts an urban sculpture garden and several places to step out and peep some of the finest views of the city. About 25% of my wedding of my wedding clients elected to have their wedding at this gorgeous and glamorous space last year.)
