Last Day in Charleston
Mar. 21st, 2025 11:00 pmR. and I went to the Citrus Club. I was 50/50 on whether I was going to go at all, but R. pushed very gently and we walked over. They asked me for a phone number, identified me using Resy, set up a Resy for us and handed us a circle with the Citrus Club logo and pointed us at the elevator. They took that circle back, but we left with a cardboard coaster so we still have circle from them. LOL.
Drinks and small bites were expensive, but yummy. View is incredible. The lime trees smell amazing.
We keep winding up in places that are full of groups of white women in nice dresses hanging out together. At some point, I will be wanting an explanation. My initial theory was that Charleston is where every white woman in the area goes for wedding and wedding-adjacent festivities, but R. is skeptical.
I wound up making a reservation at Marbled and Fin, and that’s where we had dinner. B. asked if he could order the Weller Millenium, which is listed at $3K on the menu (for what is presumably a 2 oz pour altho it is not specified). I said absolutely not, but I did look up the price of a bottle, and it seems to run $7K-$10K a bottle, so while $3K is nuts, it’s within the usual markup range. I do wonder how they keep the staff from sampling and diluting that thing. Our server said someone ordered 7 servings of it once. Food was good, everyone was happy.
We’ve been walking more (to and from the museum yesterday, to and from the Biergarten and the Citrus Club yesterday, to and from Marbled and Fin today). It’s dead flat and the weather’s been fantastic, other than getting a little windy and drizzly going to the Biergarten. It’s gotta really be tough in this town in high summer, but in spring, it’s lovely.
