This place is high quality, really delicious food! Brunch, lunch and dinner are all phenomenal. Israeli/Mediterranean-inspired, so you don't leave feeling too weighed down. In a newer area close to many other great spots such as Edmund's Oast, Goat.Sheep.Cow & others.

The Gospel Brunch on Sundays is not to be missed! A live gospel choir travels from room to room performing songs. The service and [southern] hospitality at Hall's is really on point - a really fun time.

Some of the best seafood in Charleston! The restaurant is very small, and there's almost always a wait, but the food is to die for. This is definitely a special night out place, as the prices are quite high, but always worth it for the fresh, quality seafood.

Starting at Market St. wander down East Bay Street. Stop in a restaurant for happy hour, and end up at Rainbow Row, a row of colorful iconic houses. This area is at the edge of the "French Quarter" which has the quiet cobblestone streets and gas lamps that Charleston is famous for.

Sullivan's beaches are gorgeous and far less crowded than Folly! The beaches themselves are quintessential east coast beaches, complete with white sand, dunes, wooden docks and wild reeds. Head to the Co Op and get some snacks & beverages before heading out to the beach! Poe's Tavern has great brunch, the Obstinate Daughter is a nice place for dinner, and Beard Cat's gelato is the best!

Folly is a Charleston staple! We prefer the beaches farther away from the main drag (take a left on one of the streets running parallel to the ocean). See the beach rules if you plan to bring a dog (certain restrictions on time of year & time of day). See live music and grab some tacos at Chico Feo, or some delicious food at Jack of Cups. Lost Dog Cafe is also a fun, dog-friendly breakfast/brunch spot (though there's usually a wait).
