But just because you’re a parent chaperoning a school trip doesn’t mean that you can’t still enjoy Charleston’s vibrant culinary scene!


Here are some great options for satisfying your group's picky eaters (without sacrificing flavor) in Charleston:

For my second diary post on the Heyward-Washington House, we'll be investigating 87 Church Street's connection to President George Washington and the building's history to present.

That single week seared Washington's stamp on both Charleston and 87 Church Street.
