If you are coming to Charleston for a few days then I recommend taking one day to go Savannah. It is a two hour drive. If you leave at 6am you can have breakfast at Back in the Day bakery or Maple Street Biscuit Co for the best southern biscuits. Then walk through the historic district(pick up a free map at one of the trolley tours you can also park in this area.) for lunch I recommend B.Matthews Eatery. I have eaten there twice and never disappointed. Then walk the Riverside District starting at The Waving Girl Statue. And finish off your day at Leopold’s ice cream. Both times I’ve gone I’ve waited an hour in line and it has been worth it!
