CHARLESTON, SC – Doyle is pleased to announce it will open the doors of its new gallery in Charleston, South Carolina in October 2023. The Charleston gallery at 123 King Street marks a continuation of Doyle’s strategic and careful expansion to new regions. Founded in 1962 and headquartered in New
York City, Doyle operates galleries in Beverly Hills, Palm Beach, and Boston, in addition to regional offices throughout the country.

In the 2,800 square foot space, Doyle will host consignment days featuring their team of Specialists, thought leadership on a range of collecting topics, and preview exhibitions of property to be auctioned in New York and online to collectors around the globe.

landscape.

In 2023, Doyle tapped Charleston native Emily Grimball Longley to serve as the Regional

After 12 Years, Butcher & Bee will be closing its downtown Charleston, SC location

Read More

In a statement made by Butcher & Bee on Instagram, the beloved restaurant will be closing its doors after 12 years, but they certainly are not going away.

Instagram Statement

Dear B&B Family – After twelve years of making memories together at Butcher & Bee Charleston, the time has come for us to hang up our aprons. The Bee was born as a tiny sandwich shop with a big idea and has always been a passion project and incredibly personal. As such, we never put profits ahead of mission at the Bee, and as times, preferences, and our costs have changed, we’ve determined that this concept, in this location, is no longer sustainable. We had a great run and while closing is brutal, we are proud of living our values, even in challenging times. Just as important, we are excited and optimistic about what lies ahead.

As we thought about what happens next, we kept coming back to two thoughts –

We love our team and community.
Our community loves The Daily.

In fact, Charleston loves The Daily so much that our King St location is bursting at the seams. So we asked ourselves, what if we created a Pop-Up of The Daily inside the B&B space? And what if it is actually The Daily +. The Daily plus more parking, plus more seats, plus booze, plus an onsite bakery, plus wifi. A location of The Daily that’s easier for regulars and locals to frequent, that can provide a home for much of our team plus a path for growth.

But wait, Butcher & Bee is not done yet! We will continue to operate every Thursday-Monday, with our last service on Sunday, September 3rd. And B&B lives on in East Nashville, just a short flight and fun weekend away.

We are very proud of and thankful to the team, past and present, that makes up B&B Charleston. Now it’s time to send the Charleston Bee out in style, to celebrate the conclusion of this chapter. We are excited to welcome you, cook for you, and to open some fun wines.

Charleston Bride – Original Poem

Read More

By Mark A. Leon

In Charleston’s embrace, a bride so fair, A vision of elegance, beyond compare. With Spanish moss and cobblestone streets, She walks in beauty, her joy complete.

Her gown adorned with Southern grace, A smile that lights up every place. Beneath the live oaks, a love blooms anew, As vows are exchanged with skies so blue.

The scent of magnolias fills the air, As love and laughter are everywhere. A bouquet of gardenias, soft and white, Reflects the bride’s radiant delight.

From historic churches to the waterfront’s gleam, She’s the embodiment of a Southern dream. A new chapter starts, a journey as one, In Charleston’s heart, their love has begun.

Hand in hand, they stroll by the shore, Creating memories forevermore. With every step, a promise held tight, To navigate life’s seas, day and night.

So raise a glass to this Charleston bride, In her love, hope and joy collide. May her days be filled with endless grace, As she walks with her love in this cherished place.
