A recent article in Time Out NY travel section features, “Cities that might make you question NYC’s superiority.” Our beautiful city was mentioned first and walking tour company, Bulldog Tours, got a shout-out in the blurb.

The manicured charm of Charleston will give your eyes a much-needed rest from the gray-cement blockiness of insert-your-neighborhood-here. Ogle the antebellum mansions and Federal-style houses on foot: Whether you’re interested in the Civil War, pirates and prostitutes, or ghost stories and voodoo, there’s a walking tour that covers it. Try Bulldog Tours, the only company that has access to the city’s dungeon, so you can see the gritty—though pleasantly polite—underbelly of this Southern town.

So what other cities give a NYC  run for their money? Charlotte, NC, Lexington, KY, Philadelphia, PA and Savannah, GA were all mentioned alongside Charleston. Thanks Time Out NY!
