67th Annual Spring Festival of Houses & Gardens

THROUGH APRIL 19 2014

Experience the intimate charm and elegance found only beyond Charleston’s private garden gates and historic thresholds during Historic Charleston Foundation’s 67th Annual Spring Festival of Houses & Gardens.

Set amid the historic ambience of the city’s Old & Historic District, this series of award-winning tours showcases Charleston’s distinctive architecture, history, gardens and culture. These tours provide a rare opportunity for guests to go inside the private houses and gardens of some of America’s most beautiful historic residences, dating to the 18th century.

Charleston has been renowned for three centuries as “a city set in a garden.” The Festival is set during the peak of the city’s blooming season, and tours feature seven to ten properties each day in one of eleven neighborhoods, dating from the American colo-

nial period, through the antebellum and Victorian eras, to early 20th century. Beautiful architecture and lush gardens are woven throughout the historic neighborhoods of Charleston, which has consistently been named among the ten most courteous and friendly cities in America.

There is a lot to experience during the Festival of Houses and Gardens.

In addition to music, literary and culinary offerings, Morning History Walks, led by Charleston’s most experienced guides, are two-hour walking tours of the Old & Historic District that provide the perfect background for the afternoon or evening house and garden tours. No private sites or interiors are included on these tours. Tours depart from The Shops of Historic Charleston Foundation, 108 Meeting Street. Check in promptly at 9:15 am.

Matthew Niessner Executive Chef at Halls Chop House What brought you to Charleston?

I loved Kiawah, but I was looking for a change. Through friends in the restaurant industry, I was introduced to Mr. Hall, who was opening Halls Chophouse. I came for an interview, and loved the southern charm of Charleston, and was impressed by the high caliber of chefs in the community. Mr. Hall offered me the Executive Chef position in May 2009.

Charleston has always been known for its wonderful food. How would you describe the culinary scene in the Holy City?

Not only is Charleston a phenomenal place to live, I think per capita it has some of the best professional chefs in the country. You could easily transplant Charleston into New York, Chicago--any of the bigger cities--and our city could compete.

How has the city evolved since you have been living here?

Charleston has definitely evolved to great status, offering an amazing selection of different cuisines. It is a very "green" city, healthy, vibrant and peaceful. Upper King Street continues to draw more and more successful businesses; what used to be an unsafe area is now thriving.

16

What is your favorite dish, both to eat and prepare?

Hmmm...that's a hard one. I just found a great pizza crust at a food show that I'm going home tonight to prepare. At Halls, I am always inventing new recipes, and I love the pairings of wine with different dishes.

Why did you choose Halls Chop House? How has it expanded your culinary skills?

Mr. Hall is the reason I took the job.

He has been in the industry 50 years and is very well respected He has integrity and a great work ethic. My wife asked if I would be bored cooking steaks. Preparing steaks to perfection is not as easy as it seems, but while 70% of our guests order steaks, the other 30% order seafood. With an extremely talented team behind me, being creative is easy. I am also involved in other areas of the restaurant; from choosing a new china pattern to redesigning the bar. Besides having a high standard of service, I believe in the little touches; ambience, flowers, a new jelly for our Sunday Gospel Brunch. But most of all... I love happy customers!

Uniquely Charleston

The South Carolina Aquarium Top 5 Experiences to SEA and Explore at the South Carolina Aquarium Fish and sharks usually come to mind when you think of an aquarium. While you are sure to encounter sharks at the South Carolina Aquarium, here are five undiscovered experiences to enjoy during your next visit.

Ring-Tailed Lemurs Take a detour to Madagascar Journey, where you’ll find four curious ring-tailed lemurs leaping and playing. Let the lemurs entertain you with their fun antics as 18

they balance on ropes and swings and sunbathe in the morning light. Crawl through a tunnel to “pop up” into the exhibit for a face-to-face encounter!

American Bald Eagle Admire Liberty, a regal American bald eagle found injured in Florida. Unable to survive in the wild after sustaining a wing injury, Liberty now resides in the Aquarium’s Mountain Forest exhibit.

Not long ago, America risked losing this animal due to extinction. Today, the bald eagle has been removed from the endangered species listing and is being carefully monitored.

Albino American Alligator One of only 50 in the world, the Aquarium’s albino alligator is a jawdropping experience for the entire family. An extremely rare reptile, the albino alligator lacks melanin, causing him to be entirely translucent. A natural occurrence, albinism only occurs once for every 100,000 alligator hatchings.

Sea Turtle Hospital South Carolina’s only hospital for sick and injured sea turtles is a once-in-alifetime experience. Sick and injured sea turtles found along the coast are brought to the Aquarium’s Sea Turtle Hospital for rehabilitation. Turtles arrive with problems ranging from infections and shock to boat strikes and entanglements. Turtle patients are nursed back to health and then returned to the ocean, where they rejoin the wild sea turtle population.

Tours are offered daily at noon and 2 p.m. For more information, visit scaquarium.org.

Animal Care Exhibit

about the treatments the animals receive.

These are only a few of the South Carolina Aquarium’s fascinating exhibits.

Venture to the deepest tank in North America, the Great Ocean Tank, featuring more than 650 animals, including a 220-pound loggerhead sea turtle. With nine galleries and a popular Touch Tank, the South Carolina Aquarium is far more than just fish.

Wonder how experts care for the Aquarium’s animals? Glimpse at what goes on behind the scenes in the Aquatic Animal Medical Facility. The hands-on Animal Care Exhibit lets guests of all ages use mock equipment to diagnose cases and learn more For more information, call 800-722-6455 or visit www.scaquarium.org 20

Spotlight on the Arts S poleto F estival USA

May 23-June 8, 2014 Since the first Spoleto Festival in 1978, excitement builds in the city each spring as world class artists fill Charleston with inspiring, uplifting performances. For 17 days and nights, Spoleto Festival USA draws people from around the world to experience the light and beauty of the arts, with renowned artists and emerging performers in disciplines ranging from opera, theatre, music theatre, dance and chamber, symphonic, choral and jazz music, as well as the visual arts.

The historic churches and public buildings of Charleston provide the backdrop for this year’s performances. From breathtaking cathedrals to the College of Charleston’s Cistern Yard, Spoleto will be seen and heard throughout the city.

Again this year, Spoleto will transform the TD Arena at the College of Charleston from a state-of-the-art basketball facility to an acoustically balanced performance venue for Spoleto music and dance performances, complete with a traditional stage and full theatrical lighting.

The art of dance can be beautiful, provocative and thought provoking. This year’s festival covers a 28

wide range of styles, with the unconventional tap troupe, Dorrance challenging traditional notions of tap in a new and exciting way. South African choreographer, Gregory Maqoma, draws on his own ancestral past, creating a unique dance theatre performance, and the sleek, contemporary ballet company, Hubbard Street Dance Chicago, presents a diverse repertoire of adventuresome choreography. Pop culture and high fashion meld in Keigwin + Company’s electrifying performance.

Highly anticipated by opera lovers, Kát A Kabanová is considered one of the great

operas of the 20th century. It will be sung in the original Czech with English supertitles. The American premiere of the 21st century work, Facing Goya will be performed at historic Dock Street Theatre, and Memminger Auditorium hosts El Niño, a nativity story with an unprecedented emphasis on the voices of women.

Music lovers of all kinds will find joy in this year’s Spoleto lineup. Highlights include Béla Fleck & Abigail Washburn performing on June 1st at the TD Arena, and An Evening with Michael Nyman on May 26th at the Sottile Theatre. Rising star Joana Carneiro leads the Festi-

val Orchestra in a showcase of orchestral splendor with works by Barber, Adams, and Bartók on May 28th.

Always a favorite, the Westminster Choir will perform two concerts on May 29th and June 1st under the baton of Spoleto Festival USA’s new Director of Choral Activities, Joe Miller. On June 6th, this beloved choir will be joined by the Charleston Symphony Orchestra for Te Deum, traditional Christian songs of praise set to music by composers for centuries.

Always highly anticipated the Spoleto Festival USA Finale will again be held at Middleton Place and feature Charleston’s own Shovels and Rope, a husband and wife duo with a sound somewhere between Johnny and June Cash and The White Stripes. Bring the family and a picnic to enjoy an all day celebration, with the band taking the stage at dusk.

You’ve seen her gliding across Charleston harbor.

It’s time that you experienced the Pride too!

Come aboard the Pride – an 84-foot Tall Ship that sails with the wind and tides making every cruise unique. Rated one of the ‘Top 10 things to do in Charleston’ by Southern Living and Trip Advisor, and one of the ‘Top 10 Sunset Cruises’ by Coastal Living.

Sailing on the Pride is an experience you won’t soon forget. Daytime cruises offer spectacular views and frequent dolphin sightings; sunset cruises add a sunkissed glow and a warm, romantic ambiance. Because she sails within the shelter of the harbor, the Pride glides smoothly across the water.

If the winds are calm, her quiet engines move her along nicely.

The Afternoon Dolphin Cruises and Evening Sunset Sails depart DAILY from the Aquarium Wharf near the SC Aquarium. Moonlight Cruises happen during the full moon (check online for schedule).

We also offer special Wine Tasting Sunset Cruises held the last Wednesday of the month (April through October), which include 4 to 5 different wines and delicious hors d’oeuvres.

Tickets also available at: Charleston Harbor Tours 10 Wharfside Street Private charters and group rates available. Call 843-722-1112.

DOLPHIN sightings are common!

MAY 17 2014

Charleston’s largest pop-up beer festival, Charleston Beer Garden, returns to Brittlebank Park for the 3rd annual celebration of the suds on Saturday, May 17, 2014. Modernly inspired German biergartens will once again line the shores of the Ashley River, creating the perfect place to kick back with a beer under the shade of the oaks.

The festival features an impressive line-up of over thirty craft brews from the Palmetto State & beyond, with something for absolutely everyone.

Beer is available in samples or pints until the kegs run dry!

All guests receive a commemorative festival mug, a few beer tickets to get started, and access to tons of included beer-friendly entertainment! Get your geek on at the Earth Fare Beer School with classes all about beer. Play Beer Olympics Games with your friends such as the Keg Toss. Hit up the Homebrewers Village to meet local homebrewers and learn more about this popular hobby. And of course, be entertained by live music all day long.

General admission tickets are $25 advance, $33 door (if available).
