Hilton head

[O.city]

Spending the week here with the family. Anyone been here? What are restaurants/ things we have to do?

[lewdog]

Thought this was about a hotel BJ.

Did Paris even give head in her sex tape?

[CasselGotPeedOn]

Did Paris even give head in her sex tape?

A friend of mine says he's pretty sure she did

[Sofa King]

She did, but she was terrible at it. She clearly didn't have much practice and was most likely just doing it for the camera.

[Mosbonian]

Nice place to visit if you want to seem out of place in the midst of the rich crowd.

I honestly didn't find a restaurant there I ever really enjoyed and would recommend. But that is just me....

Had other friends go there and say they found several good places to eat.

I enjoyed WiseGuys but it is closed until 7/15....Delisheeyo's comes highly recommended by some. Poseidon is another one that is good...

If you are staying at a decent hotel they can usually recommend something that is in whatever ballpark you are comfortable with.

[O.city]

Yeah it definitely seems pricier than some other places we’ve been. I’ve enjoyed it so far it’s beautiful

[Cheater5]

I live in the Charleston area, but I’m in HH about every six weeks or so. Have a meal at Crane’s Tavern— it rivals or beats anything we have here. Michael Anthony’s Cucina Italiana is excellent, and so is Ombra Cucina Italiana. As you can tell I eat while there, but don’t do the tourist type stuff.

FWIW Bluffton is a neat little town to just kick around in for an afternoon or evening. Have fun and welcome to the Lowcountry!

[philfree]

When the wife and I were there we ate at Hudson's Seafood House and for a non fancy Mexican place we liked a place called Aunt Chilada's. There were some other places but I can't remember the names. I watched a Chiefs game at the Frosty Frog and then the next time I was there I watched a game at some Pizza place.

The wife wants to vacay to Charleston and Savannah is a single trip. Any advice on Charleston? I'd like to play golf at Kiawah Island during our stay but besides that I have no clue on what to do there.

[Cheater5]

Charleston’s lifeblood is tourism, so there’s quite a bit to do here. It is steeped in history, so there are guided tours downtown (carriage and walking), you can tour old plantations, check out Fort Sumter, Fort Moultrie, and there quite a few great places to eat. Kiawah is about 45 minutes from downtown, but if you’re set on playing golf there it’s worth it. Beautiful place.

We’re also surrounded by eight barrier islands, so if the beach is your thing— we got that covered. Charter fishing (off shore and coastal), kayak tours, paddle board rentals, on and on.

Hit me up by PM if really interested and I can give much more pointed recommendations on dining, places to stay, etc.

Haven't been there in decades, that's where the rich folks hang out

Honestly....I love Charleston way more than either Myrtle Beach or Hilton Head. Beyond the historical value and the good seafood, it's just a nice place to visit.

Cheater5 has pointed out some of the things that I would have also...along with doing some of the Ghost Tours just for grins and giggles.

Visit the Yorktown and the other ships moored there. It is a real trip back in time....Took our Scout troop there many years ago when they would let you do campouts on the ship.

This hotel took head from you?

Are the Calabash seafood places still there?

[Pasta Little Brioni]

Google reviews, trip advisor...etc

[Bearcat]

Doesn't look like there's much to do there besides golf, so we'll have to see how the week goes.

[Donger]

One of the perks of being a Hilton Diamond member, or so I've heard.

[Cheater5]

Uh, honestly never heard of calabash seafood.

My oldest and I are playing harbor town tomorrow then palmetto dunes

Not sure on the second one

[vailpass]

Hey now.

[R8RFAN]

Uh, honestly never heard of calabash seafood.

it's no longer special since about 90% of the seafood on the coast now comes from the same place as you get it in KC. Frozen and from foreign countries

Visit the Yorktown

Blew my mind. If you have any military back ground or just a history buff, check your socks before you go, they will be off when you are done.

Huh. I thought Aunt Chilada's was just an AZ thing. It is what it is.

**** Hilton. Wife complained of cigarette smoke smell and they charged us with the 283 dollar smoking fine. Manager was pissed because she complained to customer service instead of him.

Could you contest this charge on your credit card?

[kcpasco]

Could you contest this charge on your credit card?

I’m confident I’ll get my money back. Manager said he had proof (haven’t touched a cigarette since I was a teenager), I laughed and said ok let’s see it. No response for 3 weeks. This shit is personal now.

And yes I did dispute it with my credit card.

I am a history buff....just gets you when you see what it was like on a ship back then. The wildest part of the visit was walking the the submarine. One word of advice....if you aren't skinny or agile it will be practically impossible to walk the the whole sub.

[Why Not?]

Charleston is awesome! My folks live there half the year and they get pissed at me because I literally never visit them in MA (where they live the rest of the year). I insist on the Charleston trip. Lol. Just a cool, mellow vibe there. Great to walk around, nice people, beaches close, great food. You’ll have a good time for sure.

I lived in Savannah for a total of ten years in the Army, the 70s and the 80s, even had a record store there. I only went to Hilton Head a couple of times, if you're not playing golf, the beach is about all there was to do and Savannah has it's own beach, Tybee Island.

I would head to Savannah for a day, it's probably about 45 minute drive. When you drive across the Talmadge Bridge over the Savannah River, you're entering Georgia. Down to your left is River Street. They're 150 year old cotton warehouses where they would ship cotton out to other states and countries. The buildings are three stories tall, the top floor is on Bay Street facing south. That's mostly businesses, offices and a few specialty shops, like a flag shop, a kite shop.

The bottom floor which is where the cotton was unloaded, faces north toward the river. The street is cobblestone, or at least it use to be and has railroad tracks running down the middle. In '73 when I got out of the Army in Savannah, I worked for a short time as a switchman for the railroad. We would take trains down River Street to the sugar refinery and at that time the street was only about 10 feet wide and people would park their cars close to the tracks, as switchman we would have to run ahead of the train and find the car's owners in the bars and get them to move the car. We usually got some free booze because we also made deliveries of liquor to the bars.

Today the street is much wider, new hotels have been built and it's several blocks long of bars and restaurants. On St. Patrick's they have the second largest celebration in the USA. Also they're is an island in the middle of the Savannah River and that has been developed into a golf course and resort, you'll pass right by the Club at Savannah Harbor.

Here's a map showing the resort, the river and the River Street.

River Street on a busy night looks like this. I almost bought a bar there in '82 but it didn't work out.

Here's a list of restaurants on River Street.

https://gosouthsavannah.com/visitor-info/food-and-drink/river-street-restaurants.html

The most famous restaurant in Savannah is the Pirate's House, it's a couple of blocks south of River Street on the far east end.

Also while in Savannah you can make a Forrest Gump tour. The original bench has been moved to the Savannah History Museum.

To get a lay of the land and not wanting to get lost, you can take city tours.

Eat at the Cottage in Bluffton...awesome

Pirates House Savanna food sucks

Rip up to Charleston and eat at 82Queen

[Deberg_1990]

I have a friend that owns a home in Beaufort. It’s beautiful in that area.

But yea, head to Savannah, Beaufort or Charleston for stuff to do.

[philfree]

Huh. I thought Aunt Chilada's was just an AZ thing. It is what it is.

I'm not sure those two places are related. The wife like the one in Hilton Head because she could get a plater of crab legs while I had the Chicken Fajita Tacos and of course Tequila.

Played Atlantic dunes yesterday with my 2 boys (8 and 6 years old). Great golf course. Super fun.

Gonna brag on him a bit but my 8 year old played the junior tees and broke 90 for the first time. Great memories. 6 year old made his first par and had a coupe other par putts.

Really enjoying it here

[O.city]

Played palmetto dunes yesterday with my 8 year old. They had junior tees which played about 2800 yards. He shot 78.

Was such a fun day for dad to watch how excited he was
