Things To Do
King Street
King Street provides some of the best shopping in Charleston! Enjoy!
Sorelle
We dined at Sorelle's last year on Steven's birthday. Chefs Adam Sobel and Nick Dugan bring a modern spin on classic southern Italian cuisine made with the freshest ingredients to the heart of Historic Downtown Charleston at 88 Broad Street. Sorelle welcomes locals and visitors alike to gather and savor a myriad of all-day food and beverage experiences from its restaurant, bar and market spanning two-stories. Try one of the chefs’ signature Spuntini, the perfect little snacks to begin your meal, or one of Chef Adam’s all-time favorites, the Ricotta Tortellini with prosciutto cotto, balsamico and high-quality butter. Everything here is paired to perfection. Sip on a delicious twist on a spritz, imbibe with a house martini prepared tableside, or allow our Sommelier to hand select one of the many varietals found in Sorelle’s highly curated cellar.
International African American Museum
We were fortunate to have tickets the opening week. It's a must-see.
Rainbow Row and The Battery in Downtown Charleston
Rainbow Row epitomizes the essence of Charleston with its vibrant and picturesque facades. Additionally, take a leisurely stroll along the Battery, where the Civil War commenced, and where magnificent antebellum homes still grace the landscape. Consider stepping inside one for a captivating historical tour guided by knowledgeable scholars.
Avery Research Center for African American Studies - College of Charleston
Many prominent African-Americans have graduated from Avery Institute. The Avery Institute has played a significant role in empowering the African-American community. By providing quality education and fostering a supportive environment, it has nurtured and produced numerous influential leaders who have gone on to make significant contributions in various fields, inspiring generations to come. Many are relatives and friends of Steven's and Kelli's.
Ibu Movement Showroom
Ibu Movement partners with women around the world disrupting poverty and fashioning change through the art and fashion. I never miss an opportunity to stop by when I'm in Charleston. I always find a beautifully handcrafted and unique item to wear or to feature in my home.
Gullah Tours
Gullah culture in Charleston has a deep historical significance, as it represents the unique blend of African traditions and language that developed among the enslaved African Americans in the region. Gullah tours in Charleston, SC offer visitors an opportunity to learn about the rich heritage, traditions, and contributions of the Gullah people to the cultural fabric of the city. These tours provide a valuable insight into the resilience and creativity of the Gullah community, preserving their story for future generations. I enjoyed this tour with my mother and sisters years ago and highly recommend! - Kelli
