Charleston has a new rooftop! & it isn’t downtown. 👀
Riva Mare just opened on top of Storehouse 9 at the Navy Yard. It’s coastal Italian and seafood from The Indigo Road Hospitality, with open-air seating right on the Cooper River. We went to see if it lives up to the hype, and it does. (Don’t come for me, but the menu reads a lot like The Obstinate Daughter’s. And it’s so, so delicious.)
Here’s what most people miss: the Navy Yard and Park Circle area is one of the fastest-changing pockets in the whole region. More restaurants, shops, and makers are moving in every season. If you’ve been sleeping on North Charleston, this is your sign to take a second look.
