BestWeight Loss Program
We’re fortunate to have abundant choices for food and
drinks in East Cooper. And when we’ve overindulged,
we’re lucky to have Lowcountry Beauty andWellness
Spa , according to our readers. Their weight loss
program will get us back in our skinny jeans just in
time to go out again.
Second – Weight Watchers
Third – Metabolic Medical Center
Best Yoga studio
If you saved all the drama for your mama and now
both of you are totally stressed out, sign up for a
mother-daughter session at BikramYoga . And next
time, spare your poor mother those details. That’s what
husbands are for.
Second – Charleston Power Yoga
Third – Gaea
Best annuaL event
In most parts of the world, the post-holiday slump in
January is very real, and no one looks forward to that
time of year. But not in Mount Pleasant, where our
cheerful readers get ready to suck and slurp at the
beloved Lowcountry Oyster Roast. The fun never
ends around here!
Second – Blessing of the Fleet
Third – The Mac Off
Best aPartment CommunitY
If a one- or two-bedroom apartment meets your needs
and you want a new home in a golf-side development
with plenty of amenities, Thickett Apartments is
calling out to you. In addition to outstanding design,
this community offers a fitness center and a swimming
pool, and pets are welcome.
Second – Belle Hall Apartments
Third – The Boulevard
Best PLaCe to Put Your Boat in theWater
There’s no wrong place to put your boat in the water,
but Shem Creek, according to our readers, is the right
place. You’re bound to run into friends, soak up plenty
of ambience and maybe enjoy some bird sighting
before you even get on board.
Second – Remley’s Point
Third – Sullivan’s Island
Best ConCert venue
Our readers say there’s no better place to enjoy
performances by some of the most popular acts in the
world than at what was once known as the Family
Circle Cup Tennis Center. Its name has changed to
Volvo Cars Stadium, but fortunately, the quality of a
good time to be had won’t change.
Second – Boone Hall Plantation
Third – Awendaw Green
Best Custom BuiLder
Emerald/D.R. Horton has always promised affordable
new homes built with unmatched efficiencies and
uncompromising quality. The proof of that pudding –
or, in our case, those grits – is on view at Mount
Pleasant’s newest residential community, Oyster Point,
which offers ”a unique opportunity to live near the last
remaining Civil War fortification” in the Lowcountry.
Second – David Weekley Homes
Third – Structures
Best Kids aCtivitY
Kids are known for making boxes into playhouses and
mud into cake batter – but even kids need a structured
activity sometimes. When that happens, head to
Blackbeard’s Cove Family Fun Park. Our readers think
you’ll have a good time, too, without any mud involved.
Second – Sky Zone
Third – Boone Hall Events
Best movie theater
Hats off, literally, to a great place to enjoy really good
food and equally outstanding films. Better yet, raise a
toast to Cinebarre, whose name hints at this venue’s
full-service bar! Food, drink, fine entertainment – all that’s
missing is plenty of parking. Oh yeah, it has that, too.
Second – Palmetto Grande
