Amazing desserts and a full bar too. We love getting the chocolate chip cookie sundae and the cheesecake is the bomb!

Best low-key Mexican restaurant in the area and very reasonably priced. The eccentric porch is the perfect place to watch the sunset over chips and salsa.

Best Greek food around, priced at maybe $15 per platter and you will NOT be disappointed! Delicious and big portions. Interior feels like a 90’s motel but you can’t beat the Greek food!! Just a few miles from our place.

This place has the best and friendliest staff and the drinks are truly delicious! The atmosphere is impeccable with indoor and patio seating out back. Guests can park in the lot across the street and walk with their coffee to the Cayce River Walk. It’s the perfect spot for a sip-and-stroll.

Our favorite fast-casual sushi bowl restaurant. It’s located near downtown (Vista area) in an industrial building, but the inside is modern, clean and the food is amazing.

This place has been a locally owed hot-spot for over 70 years. It’s a chaotic atmosphere with better than usual fast food items and fried food. The soft-serve is great! BBQ sandwich is delicious and Zesto’s is most famous for their fried chicken recipe.

The hipsters are at it again folks! Think burrito bowl but swap out the rice and beans for mac and cheese. Your bowl of glistening cheesiness will be made to order right in front of you with lots of toppings to choose from. Do it for the gram!

An amazing indie art house movie theater with 4-6 nightly shows featuring indie-films, local films, and award winning films. Ticket prices are very reasonable and you can purchase at the box-office on the night of the showing in most cases.

One of the top 10 zoos in the country. We recommend the sea lion show. There’s also a beautiful botanical garden that you’ll have access to with you zoo admission. It’s across the Saluda River by tram.

Located just 30 minutes away, this National park is perfect for a leisurely stroll or a run. The boardwalk provides the perfect path through the swap to enjoy the cypress trees, wild palms and bird song. Or explore the dirt trails and river views for even more adventure.
