If you're heading to Crown Town, the EpiCentre is decidedly where prep boys, bballers, high heeled chicks, and university bar crawlers flock. In other words, it's not exactly my cup of tea, but if you're sans car, this area offers plenty in the way of food, drink, and entertainment (depending on how you get your kicks). \n\nThe Aloft hotel is smack in the middle of the madness and offers you a nice nest perched atop the Epicentre. Also worth noting, the surrounding area of Uptown plays host to lots of great restaurants and bars. I often pick Aloft whenever possible. It's affordable, offers Bliss bathroom products, a loft-like vibe and looks like the W's teeny bopper little sister.
