QUICK LUNCH
JASON’S DELI, SOUTH PARK
It is my favorite salad bar place! I go so often that the manager recognizes me and knows my order! The food is always fresh, it is self-serve, and even during the lunch rush, I can get in and out quickly. My daughter loves it too!
DATE NIGHT RESTAURANT
FIREBIRDS WOOD FIRED GRILL, BALLANTYNE
The food is outstanding and the atmosphere is elegant, but not so much that you feel uncomfortable in casual attire. This has always been a special go-to date night restaurant for us. It is very popular and always packed, so thankfully they take reservations.
COFFEE SHOP
SUMMIT COFFEE, VARIOUS LOCATIONS
The coffee is just as good as more famous chain coffee shops, but it is smaller, more intimate, and the atmosphere is much calmer. It is quiet and a great place to meet a friend or business associate. You’ll often see people working there throughout the day.
SWEET TREAT
COLD STONE CREAMERY, VARIOUS LOCATIONS
This is my absolute favorite place for something sweet and cold! I get a custom ice cream creation made with whatever I want in it, and it is made fresh and right in front of me. It is a quick and easy way to fulfill a sweet tooth craving.
UNIQUE GIFTS
CHRISTIE’S ON MAIN ANTIQUES MALL, PINEVILLE
This place is phenomenal! It is jam packed with unique treasures waiting to be discovered. She calls it an antique store, but it is so much more. Full of personality and vintage pieces, it is the perfect place to find a unique gift. I could stay there for hours!
SPORTS & RECREATION
TEGA CAY GOLF COURSE, SC
Tom and I are big golfers and Tega Cay is our favorite golf course. The course is never the same; every time we play, there are always nuances to it that are different. So, it is challenging and entertaining at the same time.
