Poe’s Tavern

Located on Sullivan’s Island, Poe’s Tavern is named in honor of Edgar Allen Poe, who was stationed for thirteen months on the isle at Fort Moultrie. The restaurant (which turns into a local hangout late night) is decorated with the author’s quotes and artwork-depicting characters from his stories. In the bar area, you have to check out the author’s portrait painted on the brick above the fireplace. It’s as creepy as the author’s work.

Poe’s offers indoor and outdoor seating and everything on the menu is worth trying—from the nachos to the chicken sandwiches. You won’t be disappointed.

The first thing you notice when you stroll through the door of the East Bay Coffee House is the goodies lining the front café bar: cream cheese Danishes, shortbreads, buttery croissants, and giant, chocolate muffins. Why anyone would bother with the fruit bowl exiled to the end of the counter is beyond me.

When you manage to stop drooling and focus on the coffee menu, the truly awesome and friendly baristas will make you some of the best lattes and mochas on the peninsula. As a self-proclaimed coffee snob, this is not an exaggeration. I take my vanilla lattes very seriously.

East Bay Coffee House has a European feel, but without the pretense. Even if you’re not a voracious travel reader, at this point you’re probably rolling your eyes at how unoriginal that description is, but in the case of this café, it’s true. Possibly the best adjective to describe it is cozy. But cozy in a classy, inviting way, and not in the rustic Bavarian Inn sense.

Divided into two rooms, the atmosphere from front to back is quite different. The café storefront is floor-to-ceiling glass, so for the people watchers out there, you can sit for hours and watch the foot traffic along East Bay. And it’s well lit so you can actually read the newspaper without straining your eyes. Past the dark wood carriage doors, the bar/lounge area is much more intimate, with olive walls and dim lighting. Recline on the leather sofa or sit at the bar and order from the bar menu, which offers martinis, wine, beer, and a variety of liqueurs and cordials.

So, if you’re looking for a morning jolt of java, a place to meet friends, to rest your legs after a day of sightseeing, or somewhere for late-night desert and a glass of wine, this is the spot. It’s within walking distance of most downtown hotels, historical sights, and some of the best restaurants in the city.

The East Bay Coffee House serves lunch daily and offers a full desert menu. They offer a happy hour from 4 pm to 7 pm Monday through Friday. They are open Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. & Saturday and Sunday, 7 a.m. to 2 a.m.

Lighthouse Food Farm Mission Statement

Our mission is to eradicate hunger, alleviate poverty and green our environment. We also bring together children, adults and seniors in urban areas to plant food gardens on unused land and space throughout America. Community members are given the tools and education to create a lasting sustainable solution to these issues and receive hope for a better future. Neighbors share their fresh, healthy, organic produce with local food banks to help others in need. This system of working together for a common cause while increasing diversity builds safer cities. Planting beautiful food gardens helps to lower the heat index in urban areas, aiding the fight against global warming.

Lighthouse Food Farm is Helping Feed Hungry Americans

Lighthouse Food Farm has been focused on upper region of South Carolina. Because of the Great need we have expanded our ideals and work across America.

We grow fresh vegetables and fruits to donate to help feed hungry Americans. All vegetables and fruits are organically grown. We raise a spring crop of the normal spring vegetables and during the winter we grow greens like Turnip Greens, Collards, Curly Mustard and Kale. We donate the fresh vegetables and fruit to soup kitchens, food banks, food shelves and to people that have fallen through the cracks of our system.

We are continuing to expand our farms as the need for what we do is expanding as well. We expand our crops in the event of finding a good deal in property to purchase or if someone is willing to donate the use of their land for us to use.

Our emphasis and attention has been focused on an outcry of distress in Hunger, due to the excessive layoffs from the Job market.

We have dealt with the Elderly, Shut-ins, displaced families, medically Indigent, and those that are working, but having a difficult time in making ends meet.

Our great focus is toward the specialized needs in surrounding Areas of immediate Hunger that faces so many today. There isn't enough money if just one person in the family is working; children are not eating well with the common family. It takes every penny when you have small babies to exist.

Have you ever looked into the eyes of a hungry child and watched them when a small amount of food was put before them? It will make your heart sing with delight to know you have helped that suffering to end.

We have looked on these suffering issues for too long. Help us give them Hope.

Lighthouse Food Farm wants to give Americans hope where there is no hope.

Lighthouse Food Farm is a standalone Christian Agency and is depending upon many Companies and Individuals like you to help with this greatly needed work that serves so many.

Thank you in advance for your consideration in this matter to Help End Hunger.
