"Temporarily closed in preparation for a move uptown to North Morrison Street, Butcher & Bee lays claim to providing "hand-held comfort food" to downtown Charleston. The sandwich artists at Butcher & Bee are open for weekday lunch and late night service on weekend nights (typically until 3am Friday and Saturday).

"A longtime favorite of Charleston diners, Edmund’s Oast is offering some of its most popular dishes to-go, like the until-recently-retired pickled shrimp toast, which is basically what summer in Charleston tastes like. Add on dessert and a bottle of wine for just $20 more, with free delivery via Uber Eats and Grubhub. There’s also a weekday Family Meal special that is enough for “three groups of three” and features 16-piece fried chicken, six sides, two pieces of pie, two 32-oz house beers, and two bottles of wine."

"Another hip casual restaurant up on Morrison Drive in upper Charleston SC, Edmund’s Oast is pretty cool with a larger restaurant with a loft feel to it, and a patio. With beer brewed on site to match their craft cocktails, their food, which is described as New American, is divine. Like the okonomiyaki and grits at Hominy Grill Charleston SC, you haven’t lived until you’ve tried the cornbread served with honeyed butter at Edmund’s Oast."

"A rare combination of brewpub, farm-to-table restaurant, and craft cocktail bar, Edmund’s Oast takes everything it does seriously, but not too..."

"Halls is notoriously difficult to get a reservation for, and not exactly “kid-friendly”, with one exception: Gospel Brunch!. Making a reservation two (yes, two) months in advance, we had an in to enjoy one of the most coveted brunches in town. And it sure lived up to the hype."

"This is the meal you want to have if you’re trying to be a little fancy and sophisticated for once. It’s cooked to perfection, complemented with a side of loaded mashed potatoes or lobster mac and cheese…you can thank me later."

"If you take a ghost tour in downtown Charleston, you just might stop by this popular lunch and dinner spot. The bathroom here is supposedly haunted and there have been stories of seeing someone in a second floor window as well. They make flavorful shrimp & grits and chicken & waffles for brunch also as they are both Charleston specialties."

"Another Southern favorite is Poogan’s Porch, one of Charleston’s oldest independent restaurants. For over 40 years, this restaurant has welcomed everyone, including celebrities, to enjoy comfort food in an elegant setting.

"The gist: The Shellmore is a cozy, intimate wine and oyster bar that is undeniably one of the best restaurants in Mount Pleasant. Although its menu is limited (5-6 entrees and a few selections of oysters and cheese), the bar prioritizes quality over quantity.The food: The menu changes daily and is always posted on Instagram. In general, it’s hard to go wrong with any seafood or oyster option and, during summer months, we gravitate toward Shellmore’s fresh ceviche and salad options."

"Restaurateur/chef Eric Milley brings oysters, small snacks, and interesting, seasonal entrees to his petite wine bar in I’on. Stop in for a few glasses and something a little unexpected."

Cultivation tools, sweetgrass baskets, tribal pottery, decorative items, quilts etc. showcases the traditional fringe of Charleston. With two historical houses, The Heyward Washington House and Joseph Manigault House, Charleston Museum leaves no stone unturned to fantasize visitors with its furniture, exhibits and badges."

An old truck play structure can be found at the back to entertain the kids."

"Here on Mt. Pleasant, a perfectly decked up, cute, and downright adorable 1930s vintage cottage awaits your arrival. It’s ideal for time traveling in a city already steeped in history. As the adults gather around the picnic tables munching on their thin-crust wood-fired pizzas in between sips of beer or wine, the little ones can make a beeline for the backyard."
