Local Eats & Shopping
 When visiting the south why not try some good old, down to earth southern cooking. Many of the local restaurants feature barbecue ribs with their own specialty sauce, tasty shrimp boils with golden rice and delectable seafood casseroles prepared with the freshest ingredients. Let’s not forget dessert now. Indulge in a blackberry cobbler or perhaps a piece of coconut pie. If more formal dining suites your mood, there is no lack of exquisite restaurants to choose from. Charleston is know for its ambiance and immaculate presentation, match that with flavors that will satisfy the most demanding of palates, and you’re in for a real treat in Charleston.
Visitors should never leave Charleston without a day of shopping, and King Street is a good place to start. The streets are lined with antique stores, specialty shops and art galleries, so remember to wear some comfortable walking shoes. The next stop for shopping is the historical Old City Market. This is the place to buy souvenirs and local crafts such as sweet-grass baskets and hand made jewelry. |
