100% go to Bowens Island Restaurant. Other than that, Fleet Landing, Hank's Seafood, Coda Del Pesce, Red's Ice House, Charleston Harbor Fish House, Morgan Creek Grill, Home Team BBQ, Halls Chophouse, Swig & Swine, Magnolias, FIG, The Palmetto Cafe, Oak Steakhouse, Husk, Kickin' Chicken, Pizzeria Di Giovanni, and Bojangles.Going to Charleston, SC next week for work. I know this town has some terrific restaurants so I'm declaring it a 'no chain' week. So who has some good recommendations? Best part -- I'll be on the corporate card all week so while cost is a slight concern, it's not a dealbreaker. Save the Asian recommendations as I'm not a fan but seafood is high on the list, especially at a coastal town.
Damn...nice list. I can spend this week checking those places out. Thanks. But Bojangles? Maybe a breakfast option unless you're not talking about the fast food chain.100% go to Bowens Island Restaurant.

Of course I’m talking about the fast food chain. There’s none up here, I’m constantly teased by their commercials on the ACC Network during Pitt Football Action, and I miss me some Booberry Biscuits.Damn...nice list.

one of my friends is an animal care/trainer there. lately she's been caring for the penguins and puffins. her Facebook pictures are awesome!The behind the scenes tour at the Georgia Aquarium is worth every penny.
the tricky part about that is that the Braves stadium is no longer downtown so you have to make a decision, do you stay near the stadium or do you stay in an area with more than just 1 thing to do? the area around the GA Aquarium has World of Coke, CFB Hall of Fame, CNN Center, Center for Civil and Human Rights, MLK Center. the area around Sun Trust Park has.....Sun Trust Park.There's been some familial discussion about heading to Atlanta for a Pirates game or two later this summer. Really need to get to this aquarium while we're there.
FOUR of them, at that. The largest is 27 feet long and still has another 7+ feet to grow. The tank was designed to house six in total, but they are stopping at four.It is sort of astonishing that they are able to keep juvenile whale sharks in captivity.
I was so excited for that aquarium, but left underwhelmed. I think it was just hyped up a bit too much for me and my expectations were set too high. That said, it’s still a very nice aquarium.I'm partial to Monterey Bay Aquarium for what, if I'm honest, is mostly down to actual attendance reasons.
What I appreciate most about Monterey are things you can't actually see much at the aquarium. Things like their research/conservation/animal rehab efforts, and their Seafood Watch program.I was so excited for that aquarium, but left underwhelmed.

Can check out the Braves webpage for transportation options from downtown. I'd think it would be better to be downtown for the other stuff and then navigate the public transportation system for a day to get to the ballpark.the tricky part about that is that the Braves stadium is no longer downtown so you have to make a decision, do you stay near the stadium or do you stay in an area with more than just 1 thing to do? the area around the GA Aquarium has World of Coke, CFB Hall of Fame, CNN Center, Center for Civil and Human Rights, MLK Center. the area around Sun Trust Park has.....Sun Trust Park.There's been some familial discussion about heading to Atlanta for a Pirates game or two later this summer.
