New Orleans, La vs Charleston, Sc

Charleston beer > Nola beer

Charleston is basically just NOLA lite

I doubt Charleston has the crime NOLA has.

Yea, New Orleans isn't located on the coast at all. You could live in Bay St Louis and drive the hour to the city everyday, down Hwy 90 is a beautiful drive as well. It makes it tough though since most of what NOLA is about is the night, so you'd miss out on that. If you made enough you could rent an apartment in the city then live your southern coastal charm in BSL.

Charleston is a cleaner NOLA. The negatives of Charleston is the housing is pretty expensive and a smaller community. Overall there are less social things to do compared to New Orleans but so are most cities. Also it doesn't have a plethora of jobs. If I left New Orleans, Charleston would be one of the first places I look

Charleston, all day long (and I love New Orleans). It's like the cleaner version of New Orleans.

You haven't been to N Charleston have you?

Not as bad as New Orleans....

Charleston is super clean and compared to New Orleans it feels like Disneyland. That's a good and bad thing methinks. For all it has vs. N.O. in cleanliness it loses in liveliness. I'm in the New Orleans camp. Plus no Mardi Gras = clincher.

Charleston is more southern than Caribbean. New Orleans is more Caribbean than southern. Both have aspects of the other. Charleston grew out of British colonialism and their east coast/Caribbean empire. New Orleans grew out of French and Spanish colonialism and their involvement in the Caribbean. As the country expanded westward, New Orleans became more cosmopolitan.

Charleston because of CoC. Not even close
