November 25, 2015 Brooklyn Ice Cream Factory

Located at the pier, just under the Brooklyn Bridge, Brooklyn Ice Cream Factory is in a prime location. The day was humid and frankly hot as hell. Of course after walking around at the Brooklyn Flea we were sweating and needed something cool, so we waited in the enormous line to get an ice cream. […]

November 20, 2015 King Street Cookies

King Street Cookies is a cute little shop, brightly painted in orange with Alice in Wonderland style chairs in the front. People are hanging out in here on their laptops, nursing a cup of coffee and cookie. There are over 30 flavors of cookies to choose from, all line up behind the glass. They offer […]

November 19, 2015 Callie’s Hot Little Biscuit

Our second stop before heading out of town is Callie’s Hot Little Biscuit. I wish we had come here for breakfast yesterday because they had delicious sounding specials – they had a breakfast sandwich with crab meat that had my mouth watering while I was waiting in line. The small shop has the specials handwritten […]

November 18, 2015 Glazed Gourmet Doughnuts

On our last day in Charleston we ran around King Street hitting up all the good places. First stop of the morning was Glazed, a gourmet doughnut shop. The shop is the brain child of Allison Smith who makes the doughnuts in house as well as all the glazes and the fillings. The menu changes […]

November 17, 2015 Hominy Grill

On our last day in Charleston, we decided to have a real breakfast. We walked to the Hominy Grill from our hotel, which is a bit far… and the neighborhood goes a little down hill on the walk there – as in we definitely walked by a dead cat on the sidewalk. Like many of […]

November 16, 2015 Freddo

We decided to skip dessert at Cru and walk our meal off before getting dessert. We end up at Freddo on King Street. The chain opened it’s first shop in Argentina in 1969, and it is now the leader in “helado” premium Argentine gelato. Check out the helado process here. The shop is tiny, with […]

November 13, 2015 Cru Cafe

On our last night in Charleston we had dinner at Cru Cafe. While located on Pinckney street, its on the corner of Motley! Everywhere in Charleston is pretty casual (with only  2 or 3 exceptions). Cru Cafe is located just steps from our hotel. The open kitchen gives this place a cozy feeling. There are smaller […]

November 11, 2015 Poogan’s Porch

Located next door to Husk is Poogan’s Porch. We ate lunch here the third day of our trip. Where does the name come from? The Victorian house was built in 1888, and in 1976 the then owners sold the house and moved away, leaving their dog, Poogan. The dog served as the official greeter at his […]

November 11, 2015 The Macintosh

On our second night in Charleston, we had an early dinner at The Macintosh. Executive Chef Jeremiah Bacon is a three time James Beard semifinalist. He uses locally sourced ingredients, which means the menu changes daily. We are having a super early dinner so there aren’t many other people here – a few people are grabbing […]
