Plagiarism

I copied this directly from the Conde Nast review ... thought we should keep a record on the blog!

The best way to experience Charleston is on foot. Distances are modest—the walk from Upper King Street to the South Battery, the full length of the city's historic area, is less than two miles, although detours and dawdling are recommended. The less energetic may prefer to do their sightseeing from a horse-drawn carriage: The best options are the Old South Carriage Company (843-723-9712; oldsouthcarriagetours.com; one-hour tour, $21) and Palmetto Carriage (843-723-8145; carriagetour.com; one-hour tour, $20). Fort Sumter Tours has cruises around Charleston Harbor and out to the island fort (843-881-7337; spiritlinecruises.com; 90-minute tour, $15). Gullah Tours explores the city from an African-American perspective, even incorporating folk tales told in traditional Gullah. Guide Alphonso Brown is highly regarded—so highly, in fact, that his tours were fully booked throughout my stay. (843-763-7551; gullahtours.com; two-hour tour, $18).

I like the line about "the less energetic ..." They could be talking about us after we've been spinning the happy hour wheel.
