Things To Do

The Wedding Website of Matt Darby and Megan Friedman
Charleston is a stunning city with an incredibly vibrant culture, rich history, beautiful scenery and delicious food and drink. There's so much to do and see while you're here! We've compiled a few of our personal favorites that are worth checking out. Food, drink, music, art, walk...Enjoy!

Gibbes Museum of Art

135 Meeting Street, Charleston, SC 29401

Walking distance from The Dewberry. Grab breakfast at Harken Cafe around the corner and start your day in the gallery!

Harken Cafe

62 Queen Street, Charleston, SC 29401

As discussed- no better place for breakfast before museum or heading to King Street for shopping.

Pineapple Fountain

1 Vendue Range, Charleston, SC 29401

If this is your first time to Charleston, you are legally obligated to visit The Pineapple Fountain. We don't make the rules..! After you take a photo, walk around The Battery before winding your way back to Rainbow Row. You could also take a quick detour down Lamboll Street to see if you spot the flock of 10 guinea fowl (sort of like small turkeys) that live there. They are known to perch on garden walls, roost in trees, and stroll brazenly across South of Broad streets.

Downtown Walking Tour

Charleston is the ultimate walkable city. One of the best neighborhoods to walk is the residential section known as South of Broad, literally south of Broad Street. To see some of the city's oldest architecture, quintessential Charleston homes and gardens, walk down Church Street, taking detours to Stoll’s Alley and Zig Zag Alley. Also near Church Street is Rainbow Row (on East Bay Street, between Elliot and Tradd)—a colorful stretch of homes that dates back to the 18th-century, and perhaps the most photographed Charleston location. Another great walk is doing Tradd Street from east to west. Further south, below Tradd, and below South Battery Street, you'll find the waterfront White Point Garden, where you could walk the Battery, Charleston's historic defensive sea wall, along the Cooper River.

King Street Shopping

Intersection of King and Broad Street, Charleston, SC 29401

Lower King has been voted "Best Antique Shopping in the U.S." by the readers of Travel + Leisure magazine. Start here and work your way up Middle & Upper King!

Off Track Ice Cream

6 Beaufain Street, Charleston, SC 29401

Megan and Matt's favorite ice cream place! Matt likes the sundaes, Megan likes the ice cream flights they offer. You can't go wrong.

Citrus Club

334 Meeting Street, Charleston, SC 29403

Rooftop bar of The Dewberry. The best view in town! Make a reservation if you can- it gets busy towards sunset. (We will be hosting cocktail hour on the private rooftop space next to The Citrus Club on Saturday evening following the wedding ceremony.)

babas on cannon

11 Cannon Street, Charleston, SC 29403

Great place for coffee, drinks, breakfast and snacks. A downtown staple.

Leon's

698 King Street, Charleston, SC 29403

Come for the fried seafood, stay for the soft serve ice cream and frozen cocktails.

Sullivan's Island Beach

1214 Middle Street, Sullivan's Island, SC 29482

Our favorite. Bundle up and take a February beach walk!

Sullivan's Fish Camp

2019 Middle Street, Sullivan's Island, SC 29482

Stop by before or after your beach walk. Frozen drinks, amazing ceviche, seasonal specials and...soft serve ice cream. What more could you ask for?

Post House

101 Pitt Street, Mount Pleasant, SC 29464

The only thing better than the burgers (bean or beef are equally delicious) would be the decor and merch. An Old Village Mt. Pleasant favorite you can't miss.

The Charleston Pour House

1977 Maybank Highway, James Island, SC 29412

You've entered the Riverland Terrace portion of the 'Things to Do' page! This James Island music venue has great shows throughout the week and a farmer's market on Sunday. PS: Megan and Matt met here in 2022!

Bar George

1956 Maybank Highway, Charleston, SC 29412

The chicken here will change your life. Try the espresso martinis with mezcal (!) or play an arcade game next to the bar.

Paddock & Whisky

1962 Maybank Highway, Charleston, SC 29412

The best whisky and bar owner in town.
