Mount Pleasant Pier
I am starting to fish again, and this is one of my favorite places to go. We caught a puffer fish, a crab and the guy next us caught something that look like a snake and a fish mixed we threw it all back.
Extremely clean and roomy. There is lots of seating on the pier. There is, a water source to clean your fish, located directly on the pier.
Lots of covered spaces with shade. You can rent a fishing rod, buy bait, and buy a fishing pass.
The pier is great for walking, lots of open spaces, and there are walking trails that lead to the other side of Mount Pleasant.
If you cross the street, you can take the pathway and walk up the Ravenel Bridge.
There is a really nice playground at the very front of the park. It is always filled with kids and laughter.
Closer to the parking area is an event space and public restrooms. Beautiful views and great for groups. Accessible parking and seating available.
#ttips: come close to Sunset for beautiful pictures of the sun going down at the water.

City Hall Park
Close to all of the major Sightseeing areas. We ate at a food truck and then we went over to the park to sit and eat our food. Once leaving the park we were able to see the people walking to the base of the Brooklyn Bridge, 911 Memorial and also walk to the pier.
Park wasn’t as clean as I am used to seeing in the area. I am sure that was just for today. I hope so.

Casa Adela
The food was very good. We had pork chops, yellow rice, plantains, and beans. We ate everything and left nothing In our containers at the end of the night.
We took the train over from Manhattan to the area just for this restaurant. It had been recommended to us by a Brooklyn Native.
Located next-door to a liquor store on one side and a home on the other. Nice and quiet area and not too many people out.Because Of the decorations, the place is easy to find and is highly visible from the outside.
When we walked up, there was a man outside tidying up . He greeted us and let us know that we were in the right place for a good meal. He asked us what we wanted, told us history about place and then led us inside so that we can see the menu.
When we got up to the counter, we were greeted by the cashier who was very were very patient as we tried to figure out exactly what we wanted. Everyone we talked to was extremely friendly and didn’t mind giving recommendations according to what we said we wanted to eat.
While we were there, the inside was packed with what looked to be families from the area . All of the tables were full. There was not any outside seating. Many people were coming in getting take out orders. Looked to be a very popular spot for the local community.
We wanted to wait and take our time eating but took our food to go instead.
Kid friendly.
Not dog friendly as there was no outside seating.
Not good for groups. Great for eating alone.

Atlantic Station
One of my favorite shopping centers to visit.
My favorite thing about this area are the two rooftop bars/restaurants the great views, and good food.
There are so many different types of restaurants that you can pretty much get any type of food you want.
In terms of food and drink, I have enjoyed the Mexican, Thai and American pub/ restaurants.
The next time I visit, I plan to stop at the new crab and hibachi places.
I also want to experience the restaurant that specializes in wine/champagne, that sits right across from the theater.
Not only does this center have a Regal theater, it also has a really nice game room/arcade and laser fun center.
I’ve been here many weekends and they always have some type of activity planned in the grassy area. The area is nice for picnics and just plain lounging . Not only that- they have a giant TV that also shows movies.
The area is very dog friendly with plenty of poo bags available in strategic places.
There are benches and lounging chairs all over. This place is 100% kid and dog friendly. I always see families everywhere.
There is lots of accessible seating and parking.
This area feels safe and is constantly patrolled by the local cops. It’s also very walkable. Many of the stores have condos and apartments above them.
On the weekend, they have a market where you can buy many different types of goods.
Basically, this is a great area to hang out with your family and friends when the weather is good.
#TTip: There is no shade or trees. Put on your sunscreen. Bring a blanket if you would like to sit on the ground and don’t forget your water bottle filled with COLD water.

Charleston Gaillard Center
I am local to the area. I just realize that this building shares space with the business license and permit office
I was able to walk through from the permitting side all the way over to the Gaillard Auditorium ticket office side.
There is an accessible entrance and parking. It is also kid friendly . Paid on street parking surrounds the building. There’s also a parking garage across the street.
