re: Charleston, SC

Reservations are hard but the upstairs porch is first come first serve. If the weather is nice it's one of the best seats in town.....hard to catch a break in July/August with the heat though.
For lunch head to Butcher and Bee for a sandwich. Or go late night.
Hit the bars on Upper King.
One afternoon head to Poe's for a beer or two. It's on Sullivan's Island. Good beach as well.

Lots of threads on Charleston.
