Plan My Trip: Charleston

Ok gang, it’s time again for another round of Plan My Trip. I’m doing the drive down to Charleston, South Carolina this weekend to see family, and it’s my first time visiting the fine city.

Now, I have to admit I’ve been briefed by Andrew Nelson, our contributing writer, who wrote the Insider’s Charleston piece for the magazine a few years ago. And I’ve got some great suggestions thanks to the help of reader Currie, who submitted her I Heart My City entry for the city. (She also gave one of my favorite responses to our “What celebrity would your city be?” question: “It’d be Andie MacDowell, well-mannered and sophisticated, as well as Southern and sultry.”)

But I’m positive there’s more. Tell me, as I have a long drive ahead of me, and plenty of time to get excited.
