Want to travel like a local? Here, the inside scoop on where to stay, where to shop, and what to do in Charleston from our first-ever "What I Love About Me" guest editor,
Harper Poe.
HOTEL HEAVEN: Nestled in the Historic District, Wentworth Mansion (
wentworthmansion.com) takes old-world charm to a whole new level.
TOP SHOP: Worthwhile (
shopworthwhile.com)—the arbiter of niche staples from Isabel Marant, A Détacher, and Gary Graham—is a hidden gem.
LOCAL EATS: The Gin Joint's (
theginjoint.com) Traveller's Tonic cocktail and fried chicken and waffles combo never disappoint!
MUST-SEE: From May 24 to June 9, watch more than 150 music, theater, and dance performances— like Ballet Flamenco de Andalucía from Spain—at the internationally renowned Spoleto Festival (
spoletousa.org).
