So on a recent trip to Charleston, S.C., I was thrilled to discover the neighborhoods of Elliotborough and Cannonborough. A nice long walk from the part of town most visitors hang out in, they can be a respite from the crowds that hang out on King Street and Market Street. (From what I can tell, they\u2019re centered on Spring and Cannon streets, between Coming and Rutledge.) A few shops and restaurants definitely worth checking out&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The best scone I have ever had was a blueberry-and-lemon-curd one at Wild Flour Pastry. (The chocolate chip cookies were mighty good, too.) Wherever you\u2019re staying in Charleston, you should make a pilgrimage to Wild Flour.<\/li>\n<li>In fact, order that treat to go and head over to Hope &amp; Union Coffee Co., in a beautifully restored house. If you can\u2019t snag a seat &#8212; the caf\u00e9 is popular it is with attractive people working on laptops &#8212; stroll over to Artisan Tees, which sells T-shirts designed by artists.<\/li>\n<li>Mac &amp; Murphy is an adorable shop with terrific greeting cards, stationery, wrapping paper and the like. If you\u2019re a man, they\u2019ll probably suggest you also wander down the block to Indigo &amp; Cotton, a menswear boutique stocking various brands. It pairs nicely with the edgier Rogue Wave Surf Shop &#8212; less of a surf shop than a clothing shop with a surfer\u2019s attitude. Rogue Wave is often the site of concerts during the area\u2019s Final Friday party on the last Friday of every month.<\/li>\n<li>My favorite discovery isn\u2019t actually in Elliotborough or Cannonborough, but it\u2019s not far, and I loved it so much that I\u2019m forced to include it. It\u2019s a sandwich shop called Butcher &amp; Bee that\u2019s only open at lunchtime and late at night. The delicious menu changes daily &#8212; you can find it on the restaurant\u2019s Facebook and Twitter pages. As a bonus, it\u2019s next to the Old Charleston Joggling Board Co., which makes quirky Lowcountry benches that rock side-to-side.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Related resources<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a title=\"Charleston hotels\" href=\"https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/Charleston-Hotels.d6057101.Travel-Guide-Hotels\">Charleston hotels<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a title=\"Charleston vacations\" href=\"http:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/travel-guide\/United_States--SC\/Charleston.tg21491\/\">Charleston vacations <\/a><\/li>\n<li><a title=\"cheap Charleston flights\" href=\"http:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/flights\/to-CHS\/to-Charleston\/\">Cheap Charleston flights<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em>Formerly the editor of Budget Travel magazine, contributor Erik Torkells has written for many other publications, including Travel + Leisure, the New York Times and T Magazine.
