Such good BBQ, and there's a free parking lot, which is super rare in the Vista. Great for folks on a budget - 2 adults can easily eat for less than $25.

The best cup of coffee in town, chill atmosphere, great pastries (though IMO overpriced). I'm always satisfied with the batch brew or a simple latte.

Gamecocks football stadium. If you've never been, it's quite an experience even just to tailgate. Ask, if you aren't sure what time you should plan to arrive - traffic can be a beast.

Shopping
Lots of local shops throughout this area -- be sure to check out Gourmet Shop if you like kitchen stuff and gourmet food items. There are a few cool vintage shops in Five Points. The Devine Street area has higher-end boutiques.
