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

Anthony Marini, owner of The Pass, offers a one-of-a-kind tasting experience at his new concept, The Italian Boy After Dark. We savored every bite. Save your spot, while there’s still availability.

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.

12 Cocktails of Christmas at Iron Rose

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

The Select’s Holiday Decor

We enjoyed a cozy evening soaking up the seasonal ambiance, and you should too. Check out our evening at the Meeting Street eatery.

We’re excited to try French cuisine at La Cave and indulge in Afternoon Tea at The Loutrel Hotel. Stay tuned.
