This beautiful historic house was a former plantation located on the Ashley River. It is one of the oldest plantations in the South and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. They often host fun events like wine strolls, so check out their website for current programming.

This super cool new Chinese American restaurant is changing the already-fantastic dining scene in Charleston. The food is unusual and exciting, and the decor is killer.

When you're ready to escape the polish of South of Broad and most of the peninsula it's time to head to the best soul food restaurant in Charleston. Bertha's Kitchen serves up meat and three from a sweet little spot in a thriving neighbourhood.

This cosy, intimate spot just outside the main drag of downtown Charleston is the best spot in town for omakase-style sushi. Chef Chris Schoedler is a certified sake advisor, so we recommend doing a little tasting alongside your omakase instead of (or in addition to!) wine.
