You can stroll along the streets and soak in lots of history. We suggest a carriage ride. All the carriage companies are pet friendly as long as your buddy is well behaved. Prices are usually around $18 per person.
We recommend Palmetto Carriage Company. Their website is: http://www.palmettocarriage.com./They offer free all-day parking, a great perk. Their tours also seemed to be longer than the other tour companies. We saw more houses on our tour with them than we did on other tours. Here is a picture of one of the fine homes:
After your carriage ride, we recommend lunch or dinner at Poogan’s Porch. Located at 72 Queen’s Street, the restaurant takes its name from Poogan, a neighborhood dog who was the restaurant’s host in the early years. The food is great. They give you heavenly biscuits to eat while you wait. Be a total piggy, though, and try an appetizer. The fried pimento cheese fritters and fried green tomatoes are worth the cholesterol and fat. If you have your furry buddy with you, ask for a seat in the back courtyard. Gracie loved the seclusion of the courtyard – and the little birds that occasionally popped in for scraps.
After your meal, you can head over to Waterfront Park. At the corner of Vendue Range and Concord, you will find a dog park. It has fountains and clean up bags.
If you want to spend the night in Charleston, you will need to do a little advance planning. Some hotels downtown do take pets; however, the rates for those hotels can be a bit expensive. Hotels outside the downtown area offer better rates if you are budget conscious.
We hope you and your family (human and furry) have an opportunity to explore this lovely city. Happy Summer!
