Charleston is a beautiful city to visit, especially in the spring time. I was pleased with all of the restaurants we visited. For soul food at great prices, go to Jestine's, and get there before they open if you want lunch because there will be a line (open at 11:00 AM for lunch, not open Mondays). Make reservations for Hank's for great seafood (pricier and more upscale). Visit 82 Queen for the extraordinary jambalaya and to eat in the beautiful courtyard (and if it's cool, they turn on large heaters); atmosphere is amazing. Finally, Hominy Grill is also mouthwatering (you can also make reservations here). Visit Kaminsky's on Market Street for dessert or drinks. The Schooner Pride sailboat ride was relaxing, except for the many noseums flying around and landing on everyone; also, the guides on this tour don't provide historical or geographical information unless asked, so don't choose this tour if you're looking for one that is informational. Also highly recommended is B'Zar for unique urban clothing, gifts, etc. Also, the rickshaw/bike taxis are nice after a long day of walking around and you just want to get back to your hotel
