charleston, scKosher Info: Unfortunately, Charleston has lost both its only kosher restaurant and its kosher bed and breakfast in the last couple of years, but there is kosher food available in a number of supermarkets. (The Publix on Sam Rittenberg Blvd. in West Ashley has the largest selection, including kosher wine and cheese.) I would, however, highly recommend bringing your own food, especially if you plan to be staying in Downtown Charleston (as tourists generally do) and will not be renting a car. If you find yourself in Downtown Charleston over Shabbos, they do have both a lovely kiddush and seudah shlishit at the shul, BSBI.

Tourist Info: A number of things are ubiquitous in Charleston, including churches (hence its nickname “The Holy City”), palmettos (as seen on the South Carolina flag), and southern charm. While there’s plenty to do in the area, you’d be remiss not to set aside a few hours to simply walk around (or take a horse-drawn carriage!) and take in the architecture, do some shopping on the fabulous boutique-laden King Street, and enjoy the surprisingly vibrant nightlife.

✈ Greenville, SC

Kosher Info: You’re on your own here. No kosher restaurants in Greenville, South Carolina or in the vicinity to save you the trouble of making your own meal. Don’t fret. You will not go hungry. There are plenty of supermarkets that have the basic kosher foods: milk, cereal, tuna, coffee, pasta, frozen vegetables. There is even kosher pastrami at Costco, so its not the end of the world. I would recommend finding Publix and Wal-Mart in the vicinity. There are several around town.

Travel Info: As far as visiting Greenville, it’s actually not a bad place. There is a very beautiful downtown park and waterfall. The town built a park that goes above the Reedy River, which is quite nice. There is also a minor league baseball team, and in the fall, a minor league hockey team will be in town. There is a zoo and a lot of parks for sports. Tennis, softball and the like.

Jewish Info: There is a Chabad house in Greenville, but there is only a service one Shabbat a month. Only the Rabbi is orthodox and there are approximately 300-400 Jewish families, so a minyan during the week almost never takes place. They just started building the mikvah this summer (2010).
