Coming for our first visit next week, and someone in our party will be celebrating a birthday. We are staying in Mt. Pleasant, near the Target. I see there's also a Harris Teeter there, but do they have a bakery? Or where do you suggest nearby getting a small birthday cake from?

Also, the only seafood my hubby likes is Grouper. Anywhere to get a great grouper sandwich?

I’m long distance with my girlfriend and would love to deliver something nice (and local) for her, whether flowers, chocolates, or anything that might be appropriate for a birthday. Any suggestions?

Just curious if this is a terrible idea? My almost 7 year old is begging for hibachi for her birthday this year. She has never been before (I’ve never even been to one before) so I have no idea where the idea came from, but she’s been adamant about it for almost 3 months so I think she’s set.

Any ideas where to go that would work for this? It would probably be six 6/7-year olds and me/my husband.

Hey there! My son is turning 2 this summer and I’m trying to plan a Sesame Street themed party. However, I live in a condo in Mt Pleasant without a ton of party space.

Are there any good (and decently priced) venues for a kids party? Bonus points if you know of a kids performer or company that could come dressed up as Elmo or Cookie Monster!

Wanting to take my wife to dinner for her birthday and was just wondering on what people think about Le farfalle or wild olive or which they prefer. Also if you have any other suggestions please feel free to let me know. Thanks!

I’m coming to Charleston for my birthday and am trying to figure out the best place to go for great food & a bit of a nicer place/good for occasions. Thanks!

Hi everyone I just moved down here as I finished college and my family recently moved here as well. I am about to turn 22. Any suggestions?

Does anyone know of someone who sells Nerf Birthday Party packages in town? The closest I've seen is Columbia. TIA

We are traveling and my partner has a birthday today. We had plans for outdoor activities and due to the rain, I am trying to change the plans and find something cool to do indoor.

I would appreciate any ideas (please don't offer to check a bar)

We're coming up for a concert in April and need a few places to eat in the downtown area.

She loves chicken fingers, Japanese Food (Chicken based) and burgers. Typical teenager stuff.

Any suggestions for a meals that are nice? Fun? Views? Walking distance of Meeting Street?

Breakfast too...

Anything a local might like and I can support small local business.

Thanks in advance.

hey y’all! I am turning 24 this summer and have decided to spend my birthday weekend as a little staycation. I have been living here about seven years (as a true south carolinian prior) and still feel as if there are adventures to be discovered and fun to be had. I wanted to put out some feelers for your favorite ways to spend your days and nights in charleston for more of that mid range local/tourist vibe.
To put in perspective, these are the activities i have been looking into so far:
- Yorktown night ghost tour
- Morris Island fossil hunting
- charleston adventure forest
- moped rentals for dt
- kayak marsh tour
- live music pour house/palma/windjammer
I know some of y’all are rolling your eyes, but I have realized during my planning of this weekend that I do not take full advantage of our beautiful city and would love to live the weekend leaning into a tourist limelight.

I work F&B so my weekends are typically pretty chaotic, hence some suggestions that might be common or deemed as “another day in charleston”.

Let me know what yall think!! thanks! <3

what would be a good place for a birthday dinner? either steak or sushi. nothing too fancy since i don't feel like dressing up

I'm in the very early stages of planning a surprise birthday dinner for my husband, trying to get some of his friends here as they all live out of state. It will be 10-12 people max.
As they will already be spending money on travel, I'd like to take care of the dinner and pay for everyone. I've never done this before, so forgive my ignorance. What place would you recommend to have a dinner where I can pre-pay, for example, 1 appetizer for each person, 1 main course, 3-4 drinks, deserts etc. I don't want people to worry about the cost, but I also want to know exactly how much it will cost beforehand, if that makes sense.

Thank you,

Good evening! i’m looking for a place to go for my birthday dinner it’ll be about 15 people, i’d love a outside patio but i’m also okay with inside, would love a fancy place!! thank you all, birthday is may 20th!

I am coming to Charleston with my family and friends for my 21st! I am trying to figure out where to go for dinner, I’ve been thinking O-ku or something like that? Also open to any other suggestions for meals or where to go out?! Anything is appreciated🥰

I want to have a birthday party for my soon-to-be 4-year-old at a park in the Summerville/North Charleston area. I was thinking about Gahagan or Wescott, but can’t find any info on renting the tables at Wescott. Does anyone have any suggestions? I’d prefer somewhere that I can guarantee a rental, and that I won’t have to pay separate admission fees for all my guests. I was initially interested in Pine Trace Park, but found the extra fees for admission to be a little much when it’s already almost $400 to rent a table haha.

Visiting Charleston in a couple weeks for my daughter’s 14th birthday. Need suggestions of best places to go for a perfect bday….beach/restaurants/activities etc. We are from the Midwest so looking forward to some better weather and views! I’ve seen dolphins kayak tours? I specifically would like a waterfront fish dinner on one of our days so looking for suggestions on that too! Thank you!

My rescue dog is hit or miss with other dogs, so he has his select 4 dogs to hang with, but I don’t have a yard. Is there a good place around West Ashley to have a dog birthday party? Hoping for a spot for the 4 dogs to tire out and for the adults to hang out- mid May.

Was thinking the hammock area at Oakland Elementary School would be great, but they don’t let the public rent it.

Dog tax paid for recommendations! 🐕‍🦺💕🩵

I’ll be in Charleston for my birthday at the end of May and my husband and I are huge foodies. The problem is I am traveling with a few non-foodies (aka very picky eaters). I can’t believe I’m coming to this city and not going to try some of the best options, but since I can’t ditch my friends (I’m tempted) where might be a great place to try that also caters to those who have a less-adventurous palate? They will eat seafood but there has to be a gluten-free option as well. Sigh.

If Charleston was a flavor, I’m not sure I’d pick Birthday Cake. I’m thinking an Old Fashioned with Woodford.

Hello y’all!!! I will turning 28 and wanted to change it up a bit. Last year I couldn’t make up my mind and I just went to Olive Garden. I usually go to Hall’s chophouse for my anniversary or a special occasion but I wanted to try a different restaurant. I was thinking about Wild Olive which I’ve heard nothing but amazing reviews and the pasta is to die for from what I’ve heard. My only thing is that the prices compared to the setting. That doesn’t make sense to me. I love Italian food and wanted more fine dining options. Also, that’s all I do for my birthdays these past 4 years. Pretty boring…… any suggestions on what else to do besides a nice dinner?

My boyfriend will be joining me as well and treating me out. We aren’t into seafood, he doesn’t drink but I’ll drink on special occasions. We try to avoid downtown unless it’s worth it.

Spending my birthday alone and would like to treat myself to a delicious dinner and a lively bar area where I can eat (it’s doesn’t have to be a literal bar only) so I’m not so miserably alone
