C O M BEST PLACE TOWATCH MOVIES OUTDOORS Those of us old enough to remember know how much fun it was to watch an outdoor drive-in movie. And in the year of COVID-19, watching flicks from the car once again became an entertainment option, especially at the appropriately-named Moonlite Drive-In Theaters . Other Nominees: Holy City Drive-In / Terrace Theater BEST SHOWTO BINGEWATCH Mount Pleasant residents couldn’t get enough of Schitt’s Creek , a show about a rich family who suddenly find themselves broke, forced to leave their pampered lives and regroup in, where else, Schitt’s Creek. Hopefully they brought along a paddle. Other Nominees: Outer Banks / Ozark BEST RESTAURANT FOR CURBSIDE SERVICE When you are picking up food from a restaurant and waiting in the car for the grub to be brought to you, SAVI Cucina +Wine Bar’s has been voted as the best for that quick curbside service. So convenient! Other Nominees: Chick-fil-A / Burtons Bar & Grill BEST RESTAURANT FOR TAKEOUT “I’ll have a chicken sandwich and a large order of fries, please.”No matter how many times the staff at Chick- fil-A hear those words in their earpieces, they always bring your order to the window wearing a smile and telling you “my pleasure.” Other Nominees: SAVI Cucina +Wine Bar / Basil Thai Restaurant BEST SCHOOL TO ADAPT TO COVID-19 When you serve more than 700 students in preschool through 12th grade, normal conditions can be challenging enough. Palmetto Christian Academy successfully navigated uncharted waters by having students attend school on specific days, training students on new safety protocols and presenting new learning platforms. Other Nominees: Primrose School of Mount Pleasant / Charles Pinckney Elementary School BEST SELECTION OFWINEWHILE SEQUESTERED With all due respect to our teetotaler friends, 2020 was a year in which many of us simply had to relax with a glass of wine. The folks at Total Wine And More gave those of us who chose to imbibe an excellent selection of the fruit of the vine. Other Nominees: Bottles Beverage Superstore / Costco Wholesale BEST VIRTUAL EVENTS & CONCERTS If we couldn’t be there, the next best thing to do in 2020 was to attend an event virtually. The Charleston Animal Society Annual Chili Cook-off , always a mouth-watering time for a great cause, was done so well in a virtual fashion we could almost taste the spice. Other Nominees: Moonlite Drive-In Theaters / Blue Dogs / Holy City Drive In BEST VIRTUAL EXERCISE We all need to be pushed a bit when exercising at home, and no virtual exercise program does it better, according to readers, than Peloton , a high- tech stationary bike with streaming classes and instructors challenging your limits of endurance. Other Nominees: Beachbody / Fit Body Boot Camp / Pure Barre
