Nearly a dozen luxury retailers and The Whitman Restaurant will be in the Lowcountry until Friday, April 4. City Editor Callie here. I recommend the refreshing Put The Lime In The Coconut mocktail, and the Krispy Chicken — the gochujang sauce is chef’s kiss. Pro tip: Guarantee yourself a seat and make a reservation.
The Whitman Restaurant is a great spot + refuel to take a break from shopping.

Meet Rosie Werden, the owner of Big Gurl
City Editor Callie here — I recently had one of my best friends in town, we stopped by Big Gurl and had so much fun catching up and crafting that hours passed by and we didn’t realize it. | Photo by Callie Putnam
King Street is now home to Big Gurl, a walk-in studio for self-guided crafts. I had the chance to chat with owner Rosie Werden — keep reading for details on the new studio.
What about the folks who don’t consider themselves crafty or creative, can they still stop by?
Absolutely. If anything, that’s what I’ve intended for Big Gurl. This is a hub for all skill levels to participate. Art isn’t always accessible or can be intimidating to start, so I wanted to create a space that cultivated and encouraged trying something new.
I intentionally pick crafts that anyone can do. It’s not about what you produce but the joy that comes with it.
Celebrate the opening
While the space is open, the official grand opening is set for tomorrow Saturday, Feb. 22, at 12 p.m.
