Attractions In One Of The Most Livable Cities
Of course, we know from our many visits to Charleston that the city is rich in history. One of my favorite tours we took many years ago was the Provost Dungeon. It’s still there, by the way!
And, the city comes alive on King Street, as well as Meeting Street, with the shops and open markets. Plus, I remember a charming place we stayed called The Lodge Alley Inn. It was a courtyard set up with cottages featuring four poster beds and fireplaces.
Furthermore, the culinary choices are divine in Charleston. It’s the first place I had Shrimp & Grits.
And, you can’t go wrong with a stop at Slightly North Of Broad or our latest discovery of Burwell’s. I highly recommend the deviled eggs appetizer. The presentation is unique and delish.
