re: 4 Days/Nights in Charleston
Posted by TGR on 5/9/25 at 9:18 am
I just went during Mardi Gras for the first time with my wife. We stayed at the Andrew Pickney Inn, which was in a great location. It was walkable to most things that we did.
First day we grabbed lunch at Ruru's Tacos and Tequila then walked around doing all the sight seeing (City Market, Waterfront/Pineapple Fountain, Battery Row, King St and Broad Street)
Second day we grabbed a late brunch at Miller's All Day, hit some bars (Griffin, Vendue Rooftop, Market Pavilion Rooftop bar) and ate at Hank's Seafood for dinner.
Third day we went to Mt. Pleasant/Shem Creek and then Ubered over to Sullivan's Island and ate at Poe's Tavern. Later that night we ate at Hall's Chophouse.
The final day we ate lunch at Blind Tiger Pub before we left.

If you are staying in St. Thomas, I'd suggest staying closer to Red Hook (east side) so it's easier to get to the ferry to get to St. John. We spent the majority of our time and enjoyed St. John much more than St. Thomas. A day trip to Magen's Bay is a must. I'd also recommend the beaches on the western side of St. John (Truck Bay, Honeymoon Beach, etc.)

Leaving Mardi Gras day with the wife and spending 3 days in Charleston. Thanks for the recommendations. The only reservation we have is Hall's on Thursday night. What is the usual wait for some of these restaurants that do not allow reservations (such as 167 Raw) for dinner during the middle of the week?

It's been 11 years since I've been so I'm not sure how much has changed, but Magen's Bay is worth a day trip and was the best beach we visited. We stayed in Red Hook and spent most of our time in St. John. The ferry ride over is easy but make sure you don't miss the last one coming back to St. Thomas. Trunk Bay had some decent snorkeling. Cruz Bay in St. John has a couple nice bars overlooking the water. Duffy's Love Shack was a fun bar in St. Thomas with good vibes. Another fun spot a local took us to in St. John was Woody's Seafood Saloon. Overall, it was a great trip (we went for Spring Break at LSU) but I've been wanting to go back.
ETA: If I could do it again, I would stay in St. John and visit BVI. I didn't have a passport at the time.

Always great to be in Death Valley regardless of who we are playing and what our record is. You only get to do it 6-7 times a year. Weather was awesome and we got a W, not to mention Bama, A&M and Ole Miss shite the bed!

I’m no doctor but just basing it off my progress so far. No telling with this team but let’s get healthy ASAP!

I fractured my right wrist and had surgery on 10/21/24. He should be REALLY close especially since it was not his shooting hand.

Yep, as much as I like CJ, it was nice to have one game with a true PG.
