December is in full swing, and the Holy City has been buzzing with events. Here’s a quick recap of what we’ve been up to — and how you can experience them yourself.

Charles Towne Landing

City Editor Erika explored the site of South Carolina’s first permanent European settlement.

Holiday Sip + Shop at The Charleston Place

We marveled at the stunning decor, browsed shops, chatted with store owners, admired the Festival of Trees, and caught the magical “snow” in Market Street Circle.

Peyton William Jewelry on King Street

This King Street staple has been showcasing unique pieces for over a decade. We stopped in to chat with owner Gabrielle Egan.

The Italian Boy After Dark

The Pass offers a one-of-a-kind tasting menu experience, and we savored every bite. Save your spot, while spots are still open.

StarChefs Lunch + Learn at Chubby Fish

We joined Charleston’s Rising Stars honorees for an unforgettable lunch. Pro tip: You have until Wednesday, Dec. 18 to try out their dishes during Rising Stars Restaurant Week.

Sip festive drinks like Krampus Cocktail, Silver Bells, and Naughty List at the iconic pink hotel. We recommend sipping and enjoying oysters.
