Trip Companion names its Top 18 Restaurants in Downtown Charleston, SC – New Video

Read More

Since the region around Charleston is frequently referred to as the Lowcountry, its rich Gullah and Creole history is reflected in the food as well as Southern components. Seafood is the absolute staple here, therefore you must try some before you leave.

The freshest catch, locally-mined oysters, She Crab soup, or shrimp (particularly, the shrimp n’ grits, a heavenly combination of local shrimp with creamy grits that’s served in a variety of ways till Sunday, depending on where you visit) are all recommended as first choices when you can.

Finally, and perhaps most crucially, be aware that Charleston’s culture is so established that cuisine is almost like a religion.

Keep Charleston Beautiful: How to Organize a Neighborhood Cleanup Event in Charleston

Read More

Get Involved

Keep Charleston Beautiful needs volunteer groups to clean up litter around the City. We conduct cleanups along roadways, at parks, and in marshes. KCB works with groups of any size and age! We are here to help support your community cleanup or beautification event.

How to organize a cleanup event

  • Pick a cleanup date – Organize a day that works best with your groups, and send KCB an email notifying us. If available, we will do our best to attend your cleanup event
  • Pick a cleanup location – If you’ve noticed an area with litter, suggest it. If not, Keep Charleston Beautiful has suggestions for spots in need of a cleanup.
  • Finalize volunteer numbers – Once we have an idea of how many people will be attending your cleanup, KCB will pack all your needed supplies (trash bags, disposable gloves, paper yard bags, rakes, safety vests, pruners, pickup sticks, and other supplies as needed). We will meet you at the location with these supplies, or you can pick them up from our office.
  • Make it an open event if you’d like – KCB can help recruit volunteers for your events by posting it on social media and in our newsletter. This is a great way to make an even bigger impact at your event.

Liability Forms and Safety Sheets

Please read over our event safety sheet (PDF), and have your volunteers sign our liability waiver (PDF). We want to keep our volunteers safe at cleanups!

With blue skies and cooling temperatures, we enjoyed a pleasurable morning stroll and captured some moments

Here are some of the pictures from downtown Charleston, the day after Ian:

According to a Port of Call press release, a Folly Beach staple and French bistro are among the new additions to the Port of Call Food and Brew Hall adjacent to historic Charleston City Market.

The Artisan Dining Collection at 99 S. Market St. has added five new venues.

Délicieux is a French bistro originally located in North Charleston offering freshly baked sandwiches, baked goods, quiches, coffee and more, according to the press release. Délicieux will be featured at the top of the Port of Call area. It is the creation of chef Bri Wilson from Brooklyn, New York.

Orchestrated by chef Jason De Souza, Taco Art is an authentic taqueria and will feature tacos, quesadillas, burritos and rice bowls, according to the release.

LowCo Seafood Shack is the manifestation of the former owners of Shem Creek’s The Shelter, who are converting their decades of experience in the Charleston food and beverage industry into a Lowcountry restaurant, the press release said. LowCo Seafood Shack serves fried seafood platters, Lowcountry cookery, shrimp and grits, boiled peanuts and local shrimp to peel and eat.

Pisco Mar is a Peruvian foodservice concept that will occupy Port of Call’s existing second floor, the press release said. It’s an intimate experience, curated by chef Esteban Delgado Diaz from Chiclayo, Peru, who recently relocated to the Lowcountry. Pisco Mar offers authentic Peruvian cuisine and cocktails, including ceviches, tiraditos, causas, empanadas, and arroz con pato, accompanied by pisco sours, chilcanos, Peruvian wines, and other pisco-based cocktails.

While Pineapple Hut, Délicieux and Taco Art have already opened their doors to customers, LowCo Seafood Shack and Pisco Mar are slated to make their Food and Brew Hall debuts later this fall, according to the press release.“I couldn’t be more excited to welcome these restaurants to Port of Call,” Ryan Kaufmann, co-owner of Port of Call Food and Brew Hall, said in the press release. “Our goal is to continue to strengthen Port of Call’s reputation as the provider of the highest concentration of diverse dining options in Charleston.”

With the launch of these new restaurants, the current residents, Bok Choy Boy, Iaca Bowls and Ren Osteria, are leaving the port of call area, according to the press release.Reach Jason at 864-568-7570.
