Downtown Wicked Charleston

Boy was my Valentine's Day awesome. After my fun night at Sparkle Salon my girlfriend and I went yesterday and got our hair cut and styled for our big night out. We headed home, picked up our men and went Downtown Charleston. Ate at Mad River Bar and Grill. Last night Black Cat Tours did two free tours. Haunted Charleston and Wicked Charleston. We opted for the Wicked since it was about sex and the city. Definitely a Valentine subject. Our wonderful guide was Mark R. Jones and he informed us of Charleston's dark side. Did you know that there are more taverns then churches in the Holy City. I did not but learned that last night. We got to see several buildings downtown that were either Bordello's or Brothel's. One was even in Gone with the Wind. Then we learned several stories about people in Charleston's history that had sordid pasts. This is a must if you come to Charleston. It is a 90 minute walking tour that went by way to fast. It begins at Market Hall and ends at Market Hall. Both Rebel Sinclair who guides the Haunted tour and Mark R. Jones who guided ours are dressed in period clothes. I will never look at Downtown the same again. After our tour we accompanied Mark to Big John's Tavern. This is on East Bay Street and if you blink you will walk by it but will have missed a great place. This is where the carriage drivers, tour guides and real Charlestonians go. Make sure you look above your heads because if you pin your bra to the ceiling they pay your bar tab. How brave are you Ladies? Mine came home with me. LOL. This is a Valentine I will never forget. Thank you honey.

Happy Valentine's Day

Happy Valentine's Day to all. Hope you have a great day tomorrow and your Sweetie treats you right. Don't know what my man is going to do for me tomorrow but tonight I am off to Sparkle Salon for a girls night of pampering. We are getting hair styles, manicure's and waxing of the brows. Boy does mine need it. LOL. I will post my exciting night, if I have one on Sunday.

Mad River Bar and Grill

Mad River Bar and Grill in Downtown Charleston, SC is excellent. The food is wonderful, the atmosphere is great( it is in the Old Episcopalian Church) and the price is great. All day Monday is half off burgers. Talk about a great deal. You can get two huge burgers for $9.00. I love the Chicago Bull. It is a Kobe burger with cheddar cheese, bacon and a fried egg. Delicious. Definitely a restaurant everyone should try when in Charleston. Be sure to check the website because they have locations in other cities too.

California Dreaming

If I had to pick one restaurant in Charleston, SC that I love it is California Dreaming. It is located on the waterfront across from the city and on the marina. The views are spectacular, the food is incredible and the restaurant looks like a fort. Yes a fort. You walk up steps into a grand room that is octagonal in shape and has the medieval chandelier that castles have. They have indoor and outdoor seating along with a bar. Prices range from $5.95 for appetizers and soups to $9.95 for huge salads and sandwiches to $22.95 for prime rib. They have a varied menu from chicken, steaks, seafood and sandwiches. Secret to seating is the Call Ahead Seating. Make sure you call when on your way and they will seat you as soon as your party is there. Most times this means you walk in the door, pass the people with pagers and get seated immediately. There phone number is (843) 766-1644.
