Reasons
to Visit:
Cuisine
Food is
the heart and soul of Charleston. Famous restaurants line many of the
cobblestone streets. World
renowned chefs prepare anything from oysters at The Ordinary located on King Street to delicious Italian cuisine at La Farfalle nestled in the comfortable
Harleston Village of downtown. Moving on to dessert, Sugar Bakeshop has some of the most delicious, freshly-baked
molasses cookies you’ll ever bite in to. There are enough restaurants in this
town to try something new each meal for weeks! To complete your foodie
itinerary, check out the Two Fork Safari guide to dine your way through Charleston.
Outdoors
Take a
stroll down King Street and into The Battery, a civil-war coastal
landmark. Not to mention that the window
boxes on homes in The Battery was the inspiration for this article today
#WindowBoxWednesday. Between the window box floral arrangements, Rainbow Row,
and the pastel colored front doors, you’ll leave your lowcountry walk with
décor and renovation projects to last you a lifetime. The neighborhood
stretches along the lower shores of the Charleston peninsula, and the crystal, clear waters provide boating and sporting adventures. The Pineapple Fountain is
an iconic photo op for many tourists. The Charleston City Market houses
several hundred artists, craftspeople and entrepreneurs at certain times during
the year. The outdoor market is one of the best places to find hand-woven
baskets or local Charleston knick-knacks as souvenirs for the entire family.
Shopping
Chic clothing,
jewelry and antique boutiques are sandwiched in between King and Meeting Street, which create a world class shopping experience. This city’s streets are a haven
for those who love to shop. There is not a shortage of art galleries in
the area either. From contemporary to modern pieces, if you’re in the market to
purchase, CHS has hundreds of masterpieces for you to choose from. Tiger Lily
Florist, Indigo & Cotton, M. Dumas & Sons, Candlefish, Le Creuset
Boutique, Charleston City Market, Impeccable Pig, Vestique,
Copper Penny, Hampden Clothing and Club Monaco are few shops you don’t want to
miss on your shopping extravaganza! And the list goes on and on...
