Visiting Charleston SC Labor Day Weekend

[NJlovesNOLA]

This will only be my 3rd time visiting this charming city. I will be in town September 2-7 for a wedding on Johns Island. While we will be busy with family & friends that Friday & Saturday, we basically have Sunday-Monday & Tuesday to venture out on our own-hooray! We want authentic Low Country food served at places the locals go. We also want 1 or 2 "nice" restaurants for dinner. One last thing: please point us in the right direction for hard crabs & delicious oysters! Thanks!

A recent visitor/poster "lil mikey" recently visited and wrote some excellent reviews of the places they enjoyed.
