hit the pavement - View this location on map for a walking tour that takes in god and mammon, start at meeting street and broad with a stop at st. michaels church, where the grandeur of the interior, with tiffany stained glass, is matched by the grand shadows of those who have worshipped here -- including washington and robert e. lee -- since its doors opened in 1761. go up king street, the main shopping avenue, to the preservation society of charleston book and gift shop (843-722-4630) for books and sweets with a local flavor. the pricey wares in the dozens of antique stores are far beyond the means of casual shoppers. better just to ogle the 18th- and 19th-century furniture and silver at geo. c. birlant & company (191 king street, 843-722-3842). and dont miss the bob ellis shoe store (332 king street, 843-722-2515), which has almost any blahnik or choo that you could find in new york or los angeles. and, its one of the few places where men can still find white bucks.
