Wife and I (mid 30's) are going to Columbia in September for the LSU game. We are going to fly into Charleston on Wednesday and spend a couple days there. Any recs on places to stay, things to do, restaurants? Wife will also be six months pregnant so a central location to activities would be good.

Was just there a couple months ago. We stayed at The Mills House, which was a great central location. I'd recommend checking it out. In addition to the places mentioned in the post above, we had a great meal at The Ordinary and I highly recommend it.

That is the way to go for the South Carolina game. Spend most of your time in Charleston. We have done that a bunch of times, including the year the game got moved to Baton Rouge at the last minute because of flooding.

Favorite hotel is the Vendue.

Favorite restaurants are
FIG
SNOB
Anson
Peninsula Grill
