Synopsis

Charleston is that rare southern city that has retained the charm of its past while reinventing itself for the new millennium. This is a wonderful weekend getaway chocked full of great places to stay and eat and plenty to do. It is also one of those great walking around cities because you can discover something interesting down every alley and around every corner. Every time I go here, I stumble upon a new restaurant or boutique or gallery I never saw before. The anticipation of new discoveries makes this a delightful place to visit. The city is steeped in history, the Civil War started here at Fort Sumter, and a stroll through town, down cobblestone streets, among stately mansions evokes thoughts of days gone by.Despite its charm and southern sophistication, Charleston has a bit of a quirky personality as well. How else do you explain that it's against the law to cook a hamburger any way other than medium well? Or that the liquor in all the restaurants and bars used to be the little ones served on the airlin
