We have a winner! Congratulations to Susan Eaker! Thank you to Smelly Cat! And everyone else, make sure to stop by Smelly Cat and check them out. Smelly Cat Coffeehouse, at 514 East 36th Street in NoDa, is offering one lucky Charlotte on the Cheap reader a 10-ounce bag of coffee beans, plus a white Smelly Cat mug. Smelly Cat is the perfect location to visit for a cup of coffee or tea before going to a concert at The Evening Muse or Neighborhood Theatre, but it’s also a relaxing Sunday morning spot. It’s prime real estate for people-watching and even boasts a bike repair station out front, donated by the excellent Trips for Kids organization. All the beans are roasted in-house and are fair-trade and organic. Smelly Cat now features three crafted cold brew coffees on tap–medium single origin, a dark roast blend, & Sweet New Orleans chicory–but also a good variety of Espresso drinks, as well as muffins and other pastries, milkshakes and smoothies.
Here’s the contest:
One reader will win the mug and bag of coffee beans. To enter:
- Be an email subscriber of Charlotte on the Cheap. You can subscribe for free and you’ll receive one email a day with links to all the posts from the previous 24 hours, including free events, restaurant deals and more. Your email is locked in a virtual vault. I’ll never spam you or share it, even with my most trusted confidantes.
- Leave a comment to this post saying something about coffee. Creativity amuses and entertains me, but all entries have an equal chance of winning (as long as the entrant is an email subscriber to COTC.)
- On Sunday, August 24, I’ll email the randomly selected winner. I’ll need the winner’s full name, so that I can tell the Smelly Cat folks. So if you don’t leave your full name in the comment you’ll need to respond to me within 48 hours with your name, which I will announce on Charlotte on the Cheap as the winner. The prize is for pick-up only, no shipping.
