Avondale

Avondale is home to a wide variety of restaurants and retail stores that make it well worth exploring the West Ashley area for a daytime visit or special evening.

e Landing Charles Town Site ric sto Hi e Stat

For fi rst time visitors to Charleston it is often surprising to learn that many locations of interest are off the peninsula. Crossing the Ashley River leads to Charles Towne Landing State Historic Site (the fi rst settlement in South Carolina) and many of the plantations. It is also the location of the Avondale neighborhoodâ&#x20AC;Śa community of quaint brick homes, locally owned retail stores and trendy restaurants and bars.

The spine of West Ashley and Avondale is Savannah Highway and its many food destinations. Within one small block a visitor can sample Italian fare at Mellow Mushroom and Al Di La or enjoy a refreshing libation at Triangle Char & Bar. A bit further down the street are the always popular Swig & Swine and The Glass Onion. And for those desiring Tex-Mex and a lively evening, Mex 1 Coastal Cantina is just a short drive to the end of Avondale Avenue.

However, a new neighborhood is on the rise and making a name for itself with its own eclectic and tasty offerings. Upper King Street, an area that stretches from Calhoun Street to Coming Street, is the fastest growing section of the city. Art galleries like Mitchell Hill, home decor shops such as LuLu Burgess, local craft , local craft stores, and businesses like Blue Bicycle Books or those dedicated or those dedicated to fashion like Mosa are housed in reclaimed buildings that only add to the shopping experience.

Blue Bicycle Book

Popular restaurants and nightlife establishments dot the streets and satisfy an astounding array of palates and tastes. Virginiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on King, Halls Chophouse, 39 Rue de Jean, and Fish are located on the fi rst few blocks alone. Continuing up King Street takes one past O-Ku, The Macintosh, Basil, Prohibition, Scarecrow and Indaco to name but a few popular eateries. Upper King Street has added a new dimension to any visit to Charleston. For longtime residents the reclamation of this neighborhood is much appreciated and is a return to a time long ago when one would be overwhelmed by the sheer variety of options offered within a few city blocks.

Visitors now walk the length of King Street and have an experience that is similarly unique to the friendliest city in the world â&#x20AC;Ś Charleston.

Elliotborough/Cannonborough

The Grocery

“Resurgence” is a word often associated with neighborhoods attempting to return to former greatness. An “astounding resurgence” is the description most often used when describing the Elliotborough and Cannonborough neighborhoods of peninsula Charleston.

Mac & Murphy

The beautiful homes and buildings that have comprised this community since the 1800’s have been restored to their original greatness and are now a thriving mix of retail establishments and inspired residences.

But the most identiﬁable feature of the two “boroughs” is that world renowned chefs have opened restaurants that draw visitors from across the country.

Leon’s Oyster Shop

Restaurants like Leon’s Oyster Shop, Cannon Green, and The Grocery offer a food experience and innovative cuisine that is now identifi ed with being quintessentially “Charleston” and are featured restaurants in most epicurean reviews of Charleston. It is amazing that establishments of this quality are so closely situated within blocks of one another. But these celebrated destinations are just the beginning of what has become a “food revival.” The parallel streets of Cannon, Bogard and Spring offer endless delights for foodies and are interspersed with unique shopping boutiques like Indigo & Cotton, Beads on Cannon, and Mac & Murphy, all while framing a community that seemingly expands by the day. This local phenomenon is further proof that sharing meals really is the best way to bring neighbors together, and has made Elliotborough and Cannonborough a mandatory stop during any visit to the Holy City!

If urban renewal is the hottest trend in municipalities across the country then the City of North Charleston set the stage long ago.

The Park Circle neighborhood has always been a welcoming community with recreation facilities and numerous gathering spots for its citizens, but the last decade has seen an amazing revitalization that now includes eclectic restaurants, popular retail stores and an inspired mix of bars and taverns. vent

A drive down Montague Avenue leads to Park Circle and Mixson, one of the most popular communities in the Charleston area.

Tuck into Stems & Skins for a nightly selection of charcuterie and cheese and a glass of fresh and freaky ferments sure to stir your senses or grab a seat at Basico, a modern take on an authentic taqueria. Park Circle has changed dramatically over the years and is now a centerpiece of a vibrant and growing metropolitan community.

The Old Village The epicenter of Mt. Pleasant is the Old Village. With its narrow, tree lined streets and antebellum homes that front Charleston Harbor this neighborhood is one of the most beautiful in South Carolina. Pitt Street is the unmistakable center of town and is home to a lively commercial scene.

Pitt Street P

Aside from providing great beauty, the endless waterways, rivers and creeks throughout the Charleston area served as natural boundaries for the communities that sprung up over the history of the Lowcountry. Mt. Pleasant is connected to Charleston by the majestic Arthur Ravenel Jr. Bridge and its extremely popular pedestrian and biking path, but the town itself has a personality and character all its own.

The Charleston area is the perfect year-round destination. Sunny summer days, brisk fall nights, mild winters, and a picturesque spring attract visitors and native Charlestonians to the many festivals and events held across the Lowcountry. Along with its famous waterfront and harbor, beautiful beaches and endless recreational opportunities, the Charleston area is fortunate to host a variety of annual events and festivals that run the gamut from culinary to competitive...and everything in between. What’s most notable is how long some of our most popular events have been in existence!

January wraps up with the 34th Annual Lowcountry 20

Oyster Festival - the world’s largest oyster roast - where nearly two tons of the salty bivalve will be devoured by young and old alike!

In March the focus turns to haute cuisine and high fashion - represented respectively by the Charleston Wine + Food Festival and Charleston Fashion Week. March in Charleston wouldn’t be complete without the 70th Annual Festival of Houses and Gardens and its companion antiques show. Outdoor fun is the buzzword in April as the 40th Annual Cooper River Bridge Run encourages you to join 30,000+ of your closest friends for a 10K road race across the magnifi cent Ravenel Bridge. Catch some of the world’s best tennis and tennis players at the Volvo Car Open, the largest and longest-running women’s professional tennis tournament, held at the Family Circle Tennis Center on Daniel Island.

Sullivans Island

Traveling to Sullivans Island is a beachfront lesson in Lowcountry history. Beautiful homes that were built a century ago blend seamlessly with new family residences. Fort Moultrie

Narrow streets criss-cross the island while winding past historic attractions like Fort Moultrie where battles were fought during both the Revolutionary War and the Civil War. The Sullivans Island lighthouse signals the entrance to Charleston Harbor, where a wide variety of boats and ships glide into the channel from the Atlantic Ocean. The island was once home to Edgar Allen Poe and it is said he wrote some of his most famous works while stationed at Fort Moultrie. The fi sh tacos and hamburgers at Poeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Tavern are a fi tting tribute to his memory. Home Team BBQ is internationally famous and is a perfect stop on the way to or from the beach.

HISTORY

A F RICA N -AMERICAN INF LUEN C E and GU LLAH CU LT URE Many scholars argue that the African-American experience in North America began here due to the large number of enslaved Africans who entered this country through the port of Charleston. For more than 300 years, the Lowcountry has been profoundly inﬂ uenced by the linguistic, artistic and culinary contributions of Africans and AfricanAmericans. Charleston takes great pride in preserving and sharing its unique Gullah culture and heritage, and eagerly anticipates the 2019 opening of the International African American Museum!

The story of Charleston can only be fully understood by exploring the AfricanAmerican inﬂuence on the area’s history, customs and traditions. The contributions of the enslaved population extended to every facet of colonial and antebellum life, both urban and rural.

Boone Hall Plantation

Gullah tours delve deeply into the rich culture of the African-American community. A highlight is to see the artistry of sweetgrass basket making, an intricate craft that has been handed down through the generations for hundreds of years. This craft is the focal point of the annual Sweetgrass Cultural Arts Festival, an annual celebration of Gullah culture held on the fi rst Saturday of June.

CRAF T BREWERIES and DISTILLERIES

High Wire Distilli

Edmund’s Oast

As a port city Charleston has always enjoyed a reputation for attracting different people, cultures and backgrounds into a community that engages and delights both visitor and native. This historical trend is evident in the area’s burgeoning craft brew and distillery explosion. Company

Palmetto Brewing

Within just a few short years Charleston has grown from a town with only one or two locally made beers, into a city that will soon boast almost 30 different craft or locally owned breweries. Pioneers like Palmetto Brewing Company, Holy City Brewing and Coast continue to pave the way for new upstarts that intrigue and challenge the industry. The Frothy Beard, Freehouse Brewery, Cooper River Brewing Company, and Edmund’s Oast are mandatory stops for both beer connoisseurs and those new to the craft beer craze. Make the scenic drive out to the barrier islands. For a beer that reﬂ ects the comfort, passion and creative spirit of Johns Island and the Lowcountry, grab a seat at Low Tide Brewing, they are happy to show you the at process from grain to glass. If you want to talk beer, hit the Taproom at Tradesman Brewing Company on hit the Taproom at James Island. Take the whole family (including Fido) and kick back on the patio, enjoy a pint and have a bite. FOR MORE INSIDER TIPS ON CHARLESTON HOT SPOTS, VISIT CHARLESTONLY.COM

No visit to Charleston is complete without mentioning its long history with spirits…both ethereal and libation. Pirates and trade ships often brought unique fl avors and spices to our docks and ports. Those fl avors are easily recalled at local distilleries like Charleston Distilling Company, Firefly Distillery, High Wire Distilling and Striped Pig Distillery. Rum, vodka, gin and even moonshine are carefully crafted to create a taste that is unique to South Carolina. Tasting rooms often provide not only an introduction to different spirits, but also a historical perspective on the industry and the craft. Whether the preference is beer or spirits or both, tours of local breweries and distilleries are both fun and informative.

There is a tremendous benefi t to living in a climate that is conducive to outdoor activity 12 months out of the year...there is always a chance to play outside! From hitting the links to lying on the beach, it is good to know the Charleston area is overﬂ owing with recreational options that help clear the mind and refresh the body. With a quick trip to one of our many marinas, one can fi nd sailing, fi shing, kayaking and boating opportunities that provide unique access to the area’s amazing waterways. Early morning hours often fi nd paddle boarders lining Shem Creek to exercise among playful dolphins and jumping fi sh. The number of walkers, runners and bikers crossing the Arthur Ravenel Jr. bridge is another great motivator to enjoy the fresh air and birds eye view of the peninsula.

Charleston County parks specialize in providing outdoor activities that range from rock climbing to hiking and everything in between.

Charleston is the proud home to professional teams in hockey, soccer, and baseball - with the breathtaking views from Joseph P. Riley Jr. Park Jr. being the equal of any baseball stadium in the country; and the authentic English pub at MUSC Health Stadium housing numerous mementos of â&#x20AC;&#x153;the beautiful game.â&#x20AC;? Enjoying the boundless recreational opportunities of the Charleston area is easy. It really is just a matter of how much fun can be packed into each visit.
