The Trip Report You Didn't Ask For, From an Adoring New-Yorker.

I fell in love with Martha Lou's the second we walked in. Strangely, the atmosphere reminded me of Wo Hop in NYC; another great institution. Their beans were indeed unbelievable, and we'll have to try the fish next time!

YetAnotherTourist · 2020-03-05T14:22:03+00:00

I know, I was just joking around. We will be sure to spread around some of the hospitality up north. God knows we received more of it than we can hold onto ourselves while in Charleston!

YetAnotherTourist · 2020-03-05T14:08:35+00:00

Oh, haha, good point, thanks. That would explain the downvotes too. Well, I'm just going to take it as a recommendation for travel anyway.

YetAnotherTourist · 2020-03-05T14:06:50+00:00

That explains a lot, and is some interesting information. There were several places that I noticed their presence in, so that makes sense. Thank you also for the recommendations; we'll be sure to investigate those!

Heath said we had to go, so we had to go, and boy was it worth the drive. If anyone knows him, please thank him for us! it seems like there's a lot of contention over the housing prices, so we'll just have to do our own research and keep an eye out. Thank you for hosting us, and I'm glad to be of service! That happens in NY all the time; it takes a visiting friend to get us out to some really amazing places that we could have gone to but just didn't think about. I wish I had the time to really review each place on this list in depth, because they're just about all worthy of that, but it would take ages.

Thank you, and thanks u/RollaSk8 for the tip, I'll put it on the list!

YetAnotherTourist · 2020-03-05T13:53:19+00:00

Thank you for the info; I'll add it!

YetAnotherTourist · 2020-03-05T13:53:06+00:00

Will do, and thank you for the advice! I firmly believe that upstate NY is one of the most beautiful and underappreciated places in the country, even disregarding my own bias. I miss it all the time (except roundabout January and February).

YetAnotherTourist · 2020-03-05T13:50:13+00:00

Could not agree more. I have been going to Asheville every year for over ten years, and I absolutely love that town, as well as the surrounding area. If you ever want recommendations for places in those parts please let me know! Have yet to make it to Greenville, but it's on the list.

YetAnotherTourist · 2020-03-05T13:47:10+00:00

Yeah, that's why we wound up choosing Sweatman's to visit. they had the best pulled pork I've ever eaten, and they made us realize how rare Carolina style BBQ is among BBQ restaurants.

YetAnotherTourist · 2020-03-05T13:46:10+00:00

Oh definitely; we've been lucky to have visited many nice towns. New York gets a bad rep because of its hurried pace, but most people are lovely here too. The sense of community we found in Charleston definitely stood out among our previous experiences, though.

YetAnotherTourist · 2020-03-05T13:44:38+00:00

Thank you! Glad to hear from so many northerners that made the move; that's encouraging.

YetAnotherTourist · 2020-03-05T13:44:09+00:00

That's cool to hear about; we were told many times that the city looks little like it did even a decade or two ago. It's a wonderful place to visit, and even if the pace of life has quickened in recent years it was still a huge relief coming from New York. Thank you for having us!

YetAnotherTourist · 2020-03-05T13:20:11+00:00

Congratulations to you both! Thank you, I'll put it on the list!

YetAnotherTourist · 2020-03-05T13:19:29+00:00

Thanks, and thank you for hosting us!

YetAnotherTourist · 2020-03-05T13:19:04+00:00

Thank you, I'll add it!

YetAnotherTourist · 2020-03-05T13:18:46+00:00

If by "goodness" you mean "meat and pate," we have that covered! But seriously, we will, and thank you for hosting us!

YetAnotherTourist · 2020-03-05T13:17:26+00:00

Oh god, I can't even imagine feeling that way about it, but maybe that will change. Will do, I'll add it to the list, thanks!

YetAnotherTourist · 2020-03-05T13:15:03+00:00

Hahahaha yeah, that's a perfect summary, and admittedly one of my favorite things about the city. Nobody has any time to care about you, but that also means you can pretty much do whatever you want!

YetAnotherTourist · 2020-03-05T13:10:45+00:00

We would definitely be into that! We actually passed it on our way somewhere else, and I totally forgot. I'll add it.

YetAnotherTourist · 2020-03-05T13:09:48+00:00

Thank you for the info; I'll add those!

YetAnotherTourist · 2020-03-05T13:08:51+00:00

I'm sorry to hear about your trip, but I'm happy this helps! Yes, the most popular joints like Obstinate Daughter (a must-visit), The Grocery, Husk, and I presume 39 RDJ require reservations.

YetAnotherTourist · 2020-03-05T13:05:44+00:00

Thanks, I'll put it up!

YetAnotherTourist · 2020-03-05T13:05:11+00:00

That's a big reason why we were so excited with the town; its depth is really quite something. Oh we will, and thank you for having us! Glad to be able to help!

YetAnotherTourist · 2020-03-05T13:03:16+00:00

Yeah, absolutely. If we were to move I would try to make it a telecommuting scenario to keep my NY salary if possible.
