Old Village at Mount Pleasant


I know in my previous post I talked about The Notebook.  I forgot to mention one location that they shot at but I did not want to talk about it in the last post.  This is because I wanted to go into more details about Mount Pleasant, which is located on South Carolina’s central coast.  Mount Pleasant, South Carolina was used for The Notebook’s film location of the fictional town Seabrook, South Carolina.  Old Village in Mount Pleasant is unique and wonderful place to live.  This is by people biking, running, and walking on the sidewalks and parks.  There use to be a bridge used for trolleys but it got converted into a park.  Half of it is a walkway and the other half is a grassy lawn area with park benches and palm trees.  This bridge is just beautiful with a wooden pier at the end for those fishing fans.  And you can see the sunrise over Sullivan’s Island and the midday sun over Fort Sumter in Charleston Harbor.  Do not forget about the sunset behind the charming steepled city scape of Charleston.  Then you can go for a nice meal at the famous historic Post House restaurant.  They offer Toby’s Clam Chowder, Poached P.E.I Mussels, House Salad, Post House Pate Plate, Iceberg Wedge, New Bedford Sea Scallops, Crab Cake, Beef Carpaccio, and Fried Oysters for starters on the dinner menu.  The main dishes are Lowcountry Shrimp & Grits, Seafood Pasta, Grilled Salmon, Crispy Fried Pecan Crusted Flounder, Braised Short Ribs, Post House Lump Crab Cakes, and Grilled New York Strip.  You cannot forget about desserts.  Their dessert menu offers Post House Milkshakes, Seasonal Fruit Cobbler, Banana Cream Pie, Post House Chocolate Cake, Vanilla Bean Crème Brûlée, Sorbet, and Cappuccino or Latte.  Sounds like they have a wonderful menu at the Post House.  You should take a short trip there before heading to Kiawah Island.
