If you're in the mood to jazz it up tonight, then head to one of Charleston's best jazz bars, the Charleston Grill. Technically, the venue is a restaurant, but the elegance and nightlife appeal of the place makes sense when you add the highly appealing live jazz, which is presented every night of the week. Most evenings, enjoy the live sounds of acclaimed local jazz maestros, the Quentin Baxter Ensemble, but on Sundays, the Bob Williams Duo, a local favorite, takes stage. You can enjoy the music while you relax in the lavish dining room or enjoy a cocktail in the classy bar area.
Going on a specialized tour is always a great way to get up close and personal to various sites and attractions, but you can get even closer with the Charleston Tea Party Walking Tour. This is a guided, two hour walk-through of Charleston's Historic District that visits many of the city's key historical sites. The guides have extensive knowledge of the city's history, as well as significant art and literary references to give you a more dimensional picture of how history has resonated over time. The tour ends with a nice cup of tea and an informal question and answer session with your guide.
The North Charleston Performing Arts Center prides itself in the tradition of bringing Broadway attractions to South Carolina, as it annually presents stage productions that rival the ones staged further up the coast in a little place called New York City. The talented actors and producers put it all together and theater-goers in town look forward to these presentations every year. In addition to shows that appeal to a more adult audience, there are several titles that hold a high, family-friendly appeal that will no doubt introduce the charms and fun of the theater to the young and aspiring actor or actress in your family.
