If you’re into the outdoors — particularly watery pursuits — it’s a simple fact that few cities in the United States offer as much as Charleston. We may not have many hills, but if you have access to a paddleboard, kayak, sailboat or powerboat, you have basically doubled or even tripled the size of the city you inhabit — and infinitely expanded your opportunities to get out into nature. Thanks to the relentless work of organizations like The Lowcountry Land Trust, The Nature Conservancy, Ducks Unlimited and the Coastal Conservation League, no city along the East Coast can boast more nearby protected islands, forests and beaches. If you’re willing to head a few miles out of town, you’ll find an endless array of places to hike, bike (even mountain bike), hunt and fish. Just bring some bug spray. Sure, Charleston is growing by leaps and bounds, but despite all the development and newcomers, mother nature continues to bless the Holy City. What follows are our readers’ favorite people, places, places to stay and businesses that keep those blessings flowing. —Chris Dixon

Just remember to tell someone where you’re going, sport a leash or PFD and start against the wind and current.

Raven Saunders

aven Saunders had played the bass drum for two years in the Burke High School Marching Band when its director Linard McCloud kicked her off the band. He stressed that she should instead spend more time with the school’s track and field team. “A lot of kids at Burke had many different talents, but track and field just proved to be the one for me,” Saunders said with a laugh. “A lot of people noticed that about me and tried to push me to be the best I could be.” As a rising junior in 2012, Saunders spent more time honing her track-andfield skills. It paid off. She won the silver

medal in the women’s discus throw at the 2020 Tokyo Summer Olympics. In the meantime, McCloud claims a piece of Saunders’ silver medal as his own. She even let him hang the medal around his neck. Saunders is eyeing the 2022 World Athletics Championships this summer in Oregon and the 2024 Paris Summer Olympics. She’s a Charleston hero who’s also admired by City Paper readers. She said the Best of Charleston honor is special. “When I [compete] I try to do the best for Charleston to bring awareness to the City of Charleston.” —Herb Frazier

Best Fishing Charter

RedFin Charters

ack in 2017, a deep Charleston freeze hammered the Lowcountry’s inshore fish populations. With speckled trout numbers in particular decline, RedFin Charters owner Joel Levine needed to not only save the livelihood of his catch-and-release based operation, but a crucial finned component of our local ecosystem. Levine and colleagues including Z-man Fishing president Daniel Nussbaum, the Coastal Conservation Association and Friends of the Lowcountry developed a way to route funds from a popular “per-fish-caught” donation program among RedFin customers into the rehabilitation of 5,000-gallon unused hatchery tanks at the Bluffton Mariculture Center. These tanks are used by the Department of Natural Resources to raise tiny fish until they’re big enough to be released into area waterways. “They had the ability to do 600,000 trout and 1.2 million redfish,” Levine said. “The new tanks

basically doubled that capacity.” Since that time: “We’ve noticed a large difference and comeback with the trout,” Levine said. “We’re catching some of the largest trout we’ve ever caught in the Charleston waters this year.” More recently, Levine launched a new initiative with The South Carolina Aquarium that teaches not only sustainable fishing practices but practical skills like throwing a cast net or casting a fly rod. Anyone under 12 fishing with RedFin will also have the opportunity to tag that fish and release it. After they send that tag information to the DNR, they are notified if the fish is caught again, its measurements and whether it was kept or released. “Sometimes, you tag a fish and you’ll get notified three or four times that the same fish has been caught and released,” said Levine. “Just from that endeavor — it teaches kids so much about sustainability and the importance of releasing the fish.” —Chris Dixon

Best parking deck to bomb on a skateboard CP PICK: Near Yorktown, Mount Pleasant. The huge new deck across from the Yorktown is smooth and empty after hours. Skate at your own risk.

CP PICK: Shem Creek in the summer Beware of Captain Qualified with the fancy Sea Fox pulling away from the dockside bar. He’s already had five too many and has 25 more in the cooler.

Coastal Expeditions

or the last 30 years, Chris Crolley has been leading kayakers on excursions from Shem Creek to Bull Island to the deep reaches of the PeeDee and Congaree Rivers. After taking literally thousands of people on watery adventures, you would be correct to assume that he has made a great many friends and connections. Over the last few years, he’s managed to translate that network and love of the Lowcountry into a new venture called the Coastal Expeditions Foundation. Through this nonprofit, he’s worked directly with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service creating turtle conservation projects along Cape Romain and with the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources rebuilding the vital bird sanctuary sandbars along Crab Bank. He’s also launched a Boeing-sponsored initiative teaching resilience through kayaking to disabled and wounded veterans. “The foundation — it serves wild animals like sea turtles, wild places like Crab Bank and wild people like veterans,” he said. “It’s just such a natural flow too. It’s the maturation of what we’ve been doing all along. I mean you, you and me and our kids are blessed man. Because we got some kind of undeniable call to be involved with water. It’s so strong that we can’t ignore it. A lot of people have this sort of vestigial itch. And they just don’t know what it is. Well, it’s that same call. You bring them outside and they’re reintroduced to their birthright — to something real. All of a sudden, they’re amidst something that takes their breath away.” —Chris Dixon

Best crane CP PICK: Sandhill Crane. Not the pesky cranes that pollute our peninsular skyline, but the beautiful, trumpeting birds that can be occasionally spotted in the ACE Basin.

Best New Restaurant

It’s no secret that Charleston is among the world’s top food cities, with annual events like Charleston Wine + Food, festivals and an abundance of restaurants, food trucks and pop-ups peppered throughout the Lowcountry. As restaurants and dining swing back around after a rough two-and-a -half years, chefs, restaurateurs, food producers and at-home cooks show off their tastes and skills with pride, serving delicious eats to hungry stomachs across our neighborhoods and communities. The list of where to eat is never-ending, but as voted by City Paper readers, a list of Best of Eating is a good way to narrow it down. —Michael Pham

Best Mount Pleasant Restaurant

Post House

ost House is a quaint little inn off the beaten path in Old Village, Mount Pleasant, but don’t underestimate its restaurant. The Post House kitchen was renovated by Basic Projects founders Ben and Kate Towill. It was first run by Evan Gadreau, then Nathan Hood and now Nick Wilber. “I’ve known Ben and Kate for a long time,” Wilber said. “These things are a testament to them. They not only built the space and curated this environment, but they’re true lead-from-the-top kind of people, and they bring a lot of good energy into the place.” “Our number one goal from the very start was to be a neighborhood restaurant, so this award means a lot,” Ben and Kate said. “Being a gathering place for the community is our top priority, and we’re thrilled and humbled to be recognized by locals.” The Charleston community demonstrated their appreciation of the inn’s restaurant by voting Post House as the Best Mount Pleasant Restaurant in Best of Charleston 2022. “This award was won before I came aboard,” added Wilber. “So I can’t really take any credit for the food; I just hope to maintain that kind of level of quality that guests expect when they come into Post House.” —Michael Pham

Chico Feo

hico Feo was opened almost eight years ago on Second Street and East Ashley Avenue by Hank Weed. And in the near-decade he’s been in that spot, the Folly Beach community continues to surprise him. “It’s changed so much,” he said. “But the community is still amazing. It’s one of few places left that has a community, especially off-season. Everyone knows each other’s name and passes around the same $20 bill, and then in the summer, everyone just helps each other out; It’s a community that looks out for everybody.” The community showed its love for Chico Feo this year by voting it Best Folly Beach Bar and Best Folly Beach Happy Hour. Weed joked that thanks to no TVs in the outside bar, “our bartenders are forced into interactions with clientele.” Doing away with TVs allows the staff to show off their personable and unique personalities, a standout quality he believes is the reason they’ve maintained such a good reputation as a beach bar. “And we have an amazing set of regulars,” he added. “You know who you are.” —Michael Pham

Our honey is aged in High Wire Distilling Co. barrels ‘still wet’ with bourbon. Tasting notes of oak, graham cracker and caramel take recipes to a new level!

armella’s Cafe and Dessert Bar owner Brian Solari opened the Italianinspired cafe in 2014 with the intention of bringing a little piece of Europe to Charleston. “Charleston has such an amazing European feel to it. It’s a very old-looking, beautiful city, and I just thought that bringing some of that European flair would definitely fit well,” Solari said. Solari, who comes from an Italian family, learned to develop and fine tune his business with the help of other family members who have worked in the food and beverage industry. The cafe makes all its own gelato, desserts and breads in house. Though vanilla is the most popular gelato flavor, Solari likes to mix Carmella’s blackberry and limoncello varieties together. “Nothing goes into the case that isn’t A+,” he said. “I’ve had people from Italy who are in the business say that we have the best gelato they’ve had this side of Italy. And we really worked hard over the years to fine tune and perfect that gelato recipe.” Carmella’s is mainly known for its desserts and sweet treats, but the cafe also serves a variety of Italian-style ciabatta sandwiches and pizzas as well as cocktails, beer and wine. “We really do take pride in what we make, the ingredients we use and that all of our recipes are recipes that we’ve developed over time,” Solari said. “We’re very passionate about it.” —Samantha Connors

Best New Restaurant

Pink Bellies

ink Bellies Vietnamese restaurant began as a food truck on the corner of Calhoun and St. Phillip streets at the College of Charleston in 2013. As owner Thai Phi scaled up his concept to the old Workshop food court stall on upper King Street and then found its permanent home back down lower King Street, he kept his humble beginning in mind. “When we think about who we are, we still think about us as a food truck,” Phi told City Paper. Pink Bellies’ garlic noodles encapsulate the restaurant’s bumpy journey when they were impeded by the COVID-related shutdown. “When we started the restaurant, we could not get the egg noodles that we were using for years,” he said. “All of our recipes are based on the texture and cook time — the way that noodle paired with the sauce.” Phi ended up creating a partnership to set up a distribution chain for that particular noodle. “Turning that negative into something positive, that is how everything has been for us during the pandemic.” For Phi, the minimalist yet detailed design of the newly opened space manifests the eclecticism he brings to his menu. “Our entire kitchen is pretty much exposed, so when our customers come in they can hear the cooks talking, they can hear the ticket runner going, for better or for worse. We share that side of cooking with our customers, which is a little bit different for Charleston.” —Chelsea Grinstead

aco Boy has steadily built a reputation as a favorite spot for tacos and margs since it opened in 2006 with growth and change in mind. “We are very intentional about keeping the brand relevant,” said founder Karalee Nielsen Fallert. “Restaurants are a living entity. If you’re not growing, you’re dying. So for us, besides opening new locations — which we’re doing soon — to stay relevant and to be vital is to be constantly trying to improve what we’re doing. We are always looking for better products, whether it’s a better tortilla or better salsas.” Yet the vision behind the place is connected to something much bigger. Fallert’s approach to the restaurant business focuses on enriching surrounding neighborhood communities through initiatives like the Green Heart Project launched in 2009. Today, Green Heart creates opportunities for food cultivation and nutrition education across 18 schools and around 5,500 K-12 students. For Fallert, it’s all connected. “If we create more restaurants, we are able to give other people more opportunities to become owners and create financial mobility for our team members and stability for those who need it. To me that’s a motivating factor: to create an impact in our community.” —Chelsea Grinstead

Best Mexican Restaurant

Santi’s Restaurante Mexicano

he unassuming Mexican cantina at the corner of Morrison and Meeting on the upper peninsula brings the perfect blend of traditional Mexican cuisine and Mexican-American dishes to the Holy City. Opening up in 2003, when little else was going on in that part of downtown, restaurateur Santiago Zavalza introduced the Lowcountry to his childhood food — dishes from the Mexican state of Jalisco. Zavalza’s menu is subtle in its authenticity and its genius. This is the only place in town we’ve found where you can order a plate of traditional Mexican streetor American-style tacos and both knock everyone else’s out of the park. The early days weren’t easy, though. Zavalza publicized his restaurant with flyers and meager advertising, fighting against near-constant theft — the restaurant was robbed 15 times in the first eight weeks of opening. But once the popularity started growing, some of those hurdles disappeared — especially when former Charleston Mayor Joe Riley became a regular. Now, the area is growing rapidly, with a looming housing development at the same corner dwarfing the small cantina. With Santi’s beginning to look smaller and smaller amid all the crazy growth, it seems they’ll eventually have to add a few stories — not only to seat all the pending hungry customers, but to compete for skyline space. —Skyler Baldwin

King Street isn’t the only place to grab a drink in the Lowcountry. From the lowest point on the Peninsula to the furthest reaches of Summerville and Daniel Island, Charleston is overflowing with breweries, dive bars and distilleries. Locals and tourists alike can find libations at places like Chico Feo (Best Folly Beach Bar and Best Folly Beach Happy Hour) or your winner for Best New Bar: Paddock & Whisky in Park Circle. And you can’t forget the people who serve the drinks either, like Zach Kramer of Low Tide Brewing, (Best Bartender), or the rest of Low Tide’s staff for that matter, who were named Best Bar Staff. So let’s get out there and cheers to the Drinking winners voted by you, readers. —Michael Pham

Charleston Pour House

our House has been a pillar of the Charleston music scene for 20 years. The elegantly understated venue circulates incredible music acts seven days a week and bursts at the seams with vendors and activities at its Sunday Brunch Farmers Market. Needless to say, the bar can get pretty packed. To bar manager Tony Kowalski, the staff has created a solid dynamic that enables them to excel as a high volume bar — basically by getting along and hanging out as friends. “It’s a good mixture right now,” Kowalski said. “People who have been here since the beginning, people who have been here a long time and the next generation learning their way. We work really hard. There’s not a lot of glory in it. But I think we all do this for the love of music.” The stages at Pour House have fostered up-and-coming bands and been a home away from home for touring acts of all genres. “We do hip-hop every Monday, which cultivated this really good hip-hop scene I think Charleston needed. We have a lot of southern roots rock bands, a lot of country, Americana, electronic. It’s why we’re here.” —Chelsea Grinstead

We’re one step closer to our goal of replacing the water in the pineapple fountain

Best Bartender

Zach Kramer, Low Tide Brewing

eer, especially craft beer, isn’t for everyone. But Zach Kramer at Low Tide, who scored the title of Best Bartender this year, finds ways around that. “People are kind of intimidated by craft beer,” Kramer said. “It is definitely kind of trying to find that big picture thing, and then start breaking it down to what people like. I want to encourage them to be open minded.” It’s also a passion for craft beer and the culture surrounding it that gets Kramer excited to go to work every day. He explained when he sees tourists stop by Low Tide wearing a local brewery’s merchandise, he uses it as a way to learn about the brewery and what the customers’ tastes are, while also building a relationship with them. “The thing I like best about bartending is just getting to interact with people and meet all of Charleston and its tourists,” Kramer said. “We get a lot of people that come once a year, twice a year, so they always come back, and if I remember them, they’re all, ‘I can’t believe you remember me!’” — Michael Pham

raft Wine Shop & Wine Bar, which won Best Wine Selection, was opened by longtime friends Femi Oyediran and Miles White, with a passion to share their love of wine with the Charleston community. It shows in their selection, as Oyediran, a self-professed music geek, describes choosing the retail shop’s wine like you might pick songs. “You know, when you curate a selection of wine, to me, it’s very much — and this might even seem cliche for me to say — but it seems very much like building a playlist,” said Oyediran, who also won this year’s Best Sommelier. “So to me, a really great wine selection of a store, or even a restaurant, is very well thought out in the same vein as a playlist, right? Everything kind of conveys perspective, it says something about your tastes, it’s your commentary on what you’ve learned, or what your reflections are on the world of wine.” When asked what he loves best about being a sommelier, he again cues the music: “Sharing the sensation you feel and someone else feels when you put them onto something exciting, whether it be music or wine, is always one of the best deals.” —Michael Pham

“I think it’s crucial that children learn these skills from a young age.” Anna Faenza, Owner

Holy Mackerel Infant Aquatics teaches survival swim skills

nna Faenza recognized Charleston was lacking an important service right after the birth of her first child in 2018 — an Infant Aquatics program. “I started looking for an instructor and was kind of surprised that there wasn’t one in Charleston because there’s so much water here,” she said. Faenza had recently sold her wine bar, Elliotborough Mini Bar, and wasn’t working at the time. After speaking with an Infant Aquatics instructor in Columbia, she decided to get certified. She took a six-week training program in 2019 before launching Holy Mackerel Infant Aquatics, which she runs from her at-home pool in West Ashley. “Drowning is the leading cause of death in children 1-4 years old, and we live in

an area that is completely surrounded by water,” she said. “I think it’s crucial that children learn these skills from a young age.” Faenza teaches survival swim skills to children 6 months to 6 years old. Children can take 10-minute self-rescue float classes four days a week for four weeks once they are at least 6 months of age and able to roll from belly to back. Swim-float-swim classes are 10 or 20 minutes, four days a week for three or six weeks depending on the child’s age and can begin once a child is walking. Her summer classes are full, but interested parents can request to be put on the waitlist for next season, which will begin February 2023.

ON STANDS NOW

ARIES (March 21-April 19): “Choose the least important day in your life,” wrote Aries author Thornton Wilder. “It will be important enough.” I recommend that you make those your words to live by in the next two weeks. Why? Because I suspect there will be no tremendously exciting experiences coming your way. The daily rhythm is likely to be routine and modest. You may even be tempted to feel a bit bored. And yet, if you dare to move your attention just below the surface of life, you will tune into subtle glories that are percolating. You will become aware of quietly wondrous developments unfolding just out of sight and behind the scenes. Be alert for them. They will provide fertile clues about the sweet victories that will be available in the months ahead. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): “Every successful person I know starts before they feel ready,” declared life coach Marie Forleo. Author Ivan Turgenev wrote, “If we wait for the moment when everything, absolutely everything, is ready, we shall never begin.” Here’s what educator Supriya Mehra says: “There’s never a perfect moment to start, and the more we see the beauty in ‘starting small,’ the more we empower ourselves to get started at all.” I hope that in providing you with these observations, Taurus, I have convinced you to dive in now. Here’s one more quote, from businesswoman Betsy Rowbottom: “There’s never a perfect moment to take a big risk.” GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Poet Ranata Suzuki writes, “There comes a point where you no longer care if there’s a light at the end of the tunnel or not. You’re just sick of the tunnel.” That’s good advice for you right now, Gemini. The trick that’s most likely to get you out of the tunnel is to acknowledge that you are sick of the damn tunnel. Announce to the universe that you have gleaned the essential teachings the ride through the tunnel has provided you. You no longer need its character-building benefits because you have harvested them all. Please say this a thousand times sometime soon: “I am ready for the wide-open spaces.” CANCER (June 21-July 22): In the coming weeks, your imagination will receive visions of the next chapter of your life story. These images and stories might confuse you if you think they are illuminating the present moment. So please keep in mind that they are prophecies of what’s ahead. They are premonitions and preparations for the interesting work you will be given during the second half of 2022. If you regard them as guiding clues from your eternal soul, they will nourish the inner transformations necessary for you to welcome your destiny when it arrives. Now study this inspirational quote from poet Rainer Maria Rilke: “The future glides into us, so as to remake itself within us, long before it occurs.” LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): “Remember that you will never reach a higher standard than you yourself set,” wrote author Ellen G. White. That’s true! And that’s why it’s so crucial that you formulate the highest standards you can imagine — maybe even higher than you can imagine. Now is a favorable phase for you to reach higher and think bigger. I invite you to visualize the best version of the dream you are working on — the most excellent, beautiful, and inspiring form it could take. And then push on further to envision even more spectacular results. Dare to be greedy and outrageous. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Before Virgo-born Leslie Jones achieved fame as a comedian and actor, she worked day jobs at United Parcel Service and Roscoe’s House of Chicken and Waffles. Her shot at major appreciation didn’t arrive until the TV show Saturday Night Life hired her to be a regular cast member in 2014, when she was 47 years old. Here’s how she describes the years before that: “Everybody was telling me to get a real job. Everybody was asking me, What are you doing? You’re ruining your life. You’re embarrassing your family.” Luckily, Jones didn’t heed the bad advice. “You can’t listen to that,” she says now. “You have to listen to yourself.” Now I’m suggesting that you embrace the Leslie Jones approach, Virgo.

By Rob Brezsny

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): “A person must dream a long time in order to act with grandeur, and dreaming is nursed in darkness.” Author Jean Genet wrote that, and now I’m offering you his words as the seed of your horoscope. If you’ve been attuned to cosmic rhythms, you have been doing what Genet described and will continue to do it for at least another ten days. If you have not yet begun such work, please do so now. Your success during the rest of 2022 will thrive to the degree that you spend time dreaming big in the darkness now. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “Cursed are those who feel floods but who can only express a few drops.” So says an internet proverb. Luckily, this principle won’t apply to you in the coming weeks. I expect you will be inundated with cascades of deep feelings, but you will also be able to articulate those feelings. So you won’t be cursed at all. In fact, I suspect you will be blessed. The cascades may indeed become rowdy at times. But I expect you will flourish amidst the lush tumult. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “It takes a great deal of experience to become natural,” wrote Sagittarian author Willa Cather. I’m happy to report that in recent months, you Sagittarians have been becoming more and more natural. You have sought experiences that enhance your authenticity and spontaneity. Keep up the good work! The coming weeks should bring influences and adventures that will dramatically deepen your capacity to be untamed, soulful, and intensely yourself. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): “I intend to live forever,” proclaims 66-year-old comedian Steven Wright, who then adds, “So far, so good.” I offer you his cheerful outlook in the hope that it might inspire you to dream and scheme about your own longevity. Now is a great time to fantasize about what you would love to accomplish if you are provided with 90 or more years of life to create yourself. In other words, I’m asking you to expand your imagination about your long-term goals. Have fun envisioning skills you’d like to develop and qualities you hope to ripen if you are given all the time you would like to have. (PS: Thinking like this could magically enhance your life expectancy.) AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): “Stop insisting on clearing your head,” advised author Charles Bukowski. “Clear your f---ing heart instead.” That will be a superb meditation for you to experiment with in the coming weeks. Please understand that I hope you will also clear your head. That’s a worthy goal. But your prime aim should be to clear your heart. What would that mean? Purge all apologies and shame from your longings. Cleanse your tenderness of energy that’s inclined to withhold or resist. Free your receptivity to be innocent and curious. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): “The winner will be the one who knows how to pick the right fights,” wrote author Jane Ciabattari. Heed her advice, please, Pisces. You will soon be offered chances to deal with several interesting struggles that are worthy of your beautiful intelligence. At least one will technically be a “conflict,” but even that will also be a fruitful opportunity. If you hope to derive the greatest potential benefit, you must be selective about which ones you choose to engage. I recommend you give your focus to no more than two. Homework: Is there somewhere in your life where you try to exert too much control — and should loosen your grip? Newsletter.FreeWillAstrology.com
