Poogan's Porch Rollback 2019

Charleston Restaurant Week has come and gone (insert sad emoji). If you're still hungry for more deals, Poogan's Porch (72 Queen St) has you covered.

From January 21-February 12, 2019, Poogan's will be rolling back its prices by 40% on some of its most popular menu items.  You can view the rollback menu here.

To continue riding the savings train, Poogan's Smokehouse (188 E. Bay St) will be offering 20% of its dinner menu through February 12th.  Go ahead and get yourself an order of the Buffalo pork rinds as a starter :) 



Tip Thursday: Parking can be a challenge in Charleston.  Metered street parking requires payment Monday through Saturday from 9 am -10 pm.  The parking rate is $2/hour with a limit of two hours. If you want to grab a quick bite or coffee BEFORE 9 am or after 10 pm, parking's free.  Metered parking is also free on Sundays and official city holidays.

Charleston Restaurant Week-2019

It's the yummiest time of year here in Charleston--Restaurant Week.

Charleston Restaurant Week is in full swing! This year it runs from January 9-20th.  Over 100 restaurants in the Charleston area are participating.

There's something for everyone-BBQ, seafood, lowcountry, Italian, French, etc. All restaurants are offering dinner specials; some brunch/lunch specials.

Make those reservations as quickly as you can!

Happy New Year!!

Welcome to 2019!  Wait, what??  It's been over two years since I last posted?  Why does real life get in the way of online life? 😃

We've got a lot of catching up to do.  Let's start with my word of the year for 2019 (I gave up on "resolutions" years ago!)--EXPLORE.  Pretty bold for a semi-introvert.

This year I want to EXPLORE more around my neighborhood.  There have been a few changes in the Seabrook Island/Kiawah Island restaurant scene.

Shall we tackle Charleston's new restaurants too! (So many comings and goings; Did you know THE Sean Brock left Chs for Nashville?)  Put on your stretchy pants and let's eat!

We can work off calories as we EXPLORE some of Charleston's popular (and not so popular) tourists' sights.  Maybe a quick day trip or two?

Who's up for sports? Maybe this will be the year I get myself out to Daniel Island for the Volvo Car Open to watch world class women's tennis?  Or maybe I'll dust off my golf clubs and play a few holes of golf?

Pack your Dora the Explorer backpack! We've got some exploring to do!
