November 6, 2015 Butcher & Bee

When we got in to Charleston, we dropped our bags at the hotel and ran over to Butcher & Bee for lunch before they closed (they’re open 11am-3pm daily). They have a cute little patio area outside, but you’d be crazy to melt out there when you can sit in the cool a/c inside! UberX […]

October 31, 2015 Herb N Kitchen

The Hilton in Midtown is conveniently located and has a great dining space to boot. Just outside the restaurant, there is a convenient market of sorts where you can get breakfast to go or a late night snack (they’re open until 1am). They offer healthy options as well as things to cheat with! The restaurant […]
