Charleston, SC

By far my favorite city in the South - Charleston, SC.

Why?

History - Cobble stone streets, Civil War Era buildings, AMERICA's past.
Food - Southern cooking at its finest - Hominy Grill, Jestine's Kitchen, Middleton Place. Upscale dining to enjoy Cypress, and the surrounding restaurants on E Bay St.
Nightlife - Not so much in the dance club sense, but tons of bars
Beaches - Isle of Palms (when it isn't ridiculously windy) and Folly Beach (but only at night).

Strolling through the historic neighborhoods, cruising along the beach, eating my face off. Oh yeah, and watching a few fireworks (just happened to be in this wonderful city during Independence Day weekend). Fireworks in Charleston on the Fourth of July?? Make sure you get yourself to a rooftop bar to enjoy the harbor fireworks shows!
