Best street in town

In the 70s, before the mall came to town, this was the place to be in Charleston. For years, it was run-down and desolate. Since the 90s, Capitol Street has bounced back and is the place to be again! Ellen's Ice Cream, Taylor Books, The...More

Heart of downtown Charleston

Visiting Capitol Street is a must if in downtown Charleston; bars, restaurants, and shops abound here. Most are worth visiting on their own merits; having everything in a couple-block area makes for a very walkable evening or afternoon!

Simply A Must For Any Visit To Charleston

We drove and parked across from Pies and Pints, but walked up and down. Taylors Books Cafe, Ellen's Ice Cream and Pies and Pints are highlights. Endless views of constant foot and auto traffic on a narrow two way street, downtown. I recommend walking down...More
