About

4-block city market over 200 years old, with vendors of food, art & crafts like sweetgrass baskets.

— Google Editorial Summary

Historic outdoor marketplace featuring local artisan wares, street-food stalls and souvenirs.

— Google AI Overview

The Charleston City Market is a lively, casual spot — more a historical market than a restaurant — where you can grab shrimp and grits, fried green tomatoes, and local pralines while browsing stalls and handmade crafts. It’s touristy but fun, great for a weekday walk-through to pick up snacks and souvenirs.
