I am looking for a recipe from the Moultrie tavern which closed in the 1990's. The recipe is confederate game pie. Thank you for any help you can offer.

If you're interested in getting married at the Battery, you have to contact the city of Charleston and get a permit. My husband and I were married there 14 years ago. The permit cost is reasonable and it's a beautiful location. Good luck!

I found Charleston to be an unfriendly town. As a tourist I felt I was resented. People seemed rude and short. Maybe I am used to Southern Texas Hospitality and am being too harsh.

on ventilator and still in ccu so she cant leave him for long and who would,
some nights she sleeps in the hospital waiting area and some nights she gets
a motel room but she cant afford the motel all the time because it cost her
anywhere from 60 to 90 a night and the hospital bills are adding up daily
and he doesn't have insurance and they cant say for sure how long he'll be

There are many restaurants on Meeting Street depending how far down you will be. Hymans, Sticky Fingers, Jestine's Kitchen(best greet fried tomatoes). Also around the market close to Meeting is T-Bonz, Charleston Crab house. If you take a look at the Charleston Restaurants on this site, you will find the addresses.

Enjoy your trip.

June 7, 2007 a group of 21 African-American Senior Ladies will be doing the Gullah Tour with Alphonoso Brown from the Charleston visitors center. I'd like to stay in that area on Meeting St. I am looking for a reasonably priced, tasty place to have lunch at 11:00 to 12:30 or so. May have to be after the tour around 2:30 or 3:00. Please help me. Can not walk.

Just came back from our Wild Dunes vacation. Made two trips into Charleston this year. The tall ships were in port and were impressive. Rainbow row and Battery will always be our first stop on our walking tour. Three trips to SHem Creek(Vickery, R&B, Shem Cr Bar and Grill) for lunches and dinner. The oceanfront Villa in wild Dunes had just been renovated and was awesome.

One disturbing point. The erosion on one section of Wild Dunes was unbelievable. Last yr sand was being hauled in by the truck load. Apparently, that was not the solution. Several of the complexes did not even have beach access. Huge white bags filled with sand were being hauled in the entire week. From a distance, the beach looked like it had snow. The grass on the golf course was hanging off he edge and the dunes had disappeared. This was not on the entire beach. The property owners have to be taking a huge loss. Hopefully, next year will will see an improvement.

It is the mud season in Vermont. I have always had a vision of living in a small fishing village along the coast of South Carolina in a small cottage, walking to a friendly place to have coffee and to discuss what matters in life. Someone told me that McClellanville, South Carolina might be the place to go when the snow and mud in Vermont becomes to difficult to deal with. Is there anyone out there that can lead in the right direction?

How far is Charleston from St. Augustine, Fla? Can you recommend any
scenic drives?
-- Darryl Brasken - Friday, February 9, 2007 at 22:56:12
Post Reply

Publishers Note: Charleston to St. Augustine is about 5 hours. Much of the distance will have to be traveled by highway. This is due to the nature of the barrier islands that form the coast between the two areas and make the coastline go in and out to extremes in this stretch. For instance Fripp Island (a private island) is about an hour in from Rt.95 and to get to the next island over (basically Hilton Head several miles by water) it takes about an hour by land. There are several nice Cities/towns along the way including Beaufort, SC (take 17 out of Charleston and then 21 to Beaufort) and on to Savannah, GA. Both are historic river front communities.

I need to find a male stripper/ exotic dancer for my sister's bachelorette
party. We need a male stripper who can come to our rented beach house in
the Isle of Palms, outside of Charleston, and perform for about 12 ladies.
Please let me know if anyone knows of a local male exotic dancer service in
the Charleston area or any which you recommend.
Thanks!

Once again traveled to Charleston, Wild Dunes beach area in May 2006. Always eat several nights in Shem's Creek but were disappointed in the Watersedge this year. The Big Game Grill was closed too. We enjoyed the dolphins who were putting on a great water show but left disappointed in our dinner. Another night, we ate at T Bones in Mt Pleasant and it too was a disappointment. This is a steak place and you would think the dinner would come out of the kitchen as ordered. In the past we have dined at 82 Queen; Charleston Crab House in town; Boat House; several Italian restaurants in the historic area and all were great. Guess we just hit a bad time.

We are already booked for this May at Wild Dunes and will be looking for new restaurants to try. Looking forward to our walking tour of the battery, rainbow row, and the markets.
