Newest Charleston Restaurants Openings to Know Right Now, June 2025
Having trouble keeping up with all the new openings in Charleston and the Lowcountry? Here's what opened in May and June. Sorghum & Salt sat at 168 Coming Street for over eight years, but now it sits just one block over at 168 St. Philip Street in a newer, grander space. The menu, created by chef-owner Tres Jackson, still focuses on local products, offering options for a four- or six-course tasting menu. However, the establishment now features more seating and a full bar. Recent menu items include a Royal Red shrimp with kimchi beurre blanc, summer squash with a green mole, and a sea scallop with hazelnut butter and red miso. The battle for the best croissant in town heats up with the opening of Grit Bakery from baker Allison Anspach. After graduating from Tulane University, Anspach joined a vegan bakery in New Orleans, making bread. She attended culinary school in San Diego, thinking she might branch out into desserts, but she discovered she really enjoyed working with dough. Anspach and her husband, John Nagler, relocated to the Lowcountry, and she decided it was time to open her own bakery. Anspach hopes Grit, located at 601 Meeting Street, will become a neighborhood bakery. 'I would love if customers would stop in on their way home and grab a baguette for dinner or a loaf of bread and maybe a simple breakfast pastry,' she says, 'We like to highlight seasonal ingredients we're getting from Grow Food. And it's super that the menu changes, but the staples stay the same. We will always have a scone. We will always have a plain croissant. We will always a chocolate croissant.' When Bar Copa shuttered, it gave a few friends from Chicago a chance to open their own restaurant. Executive chef Zach Woody, beverage director Noah Kulisek, general manager Josiah Andrist, and chef de cuisine Brandon Andrist recently opened Snow Monkeys at 3297 Maybank Highway. The restaurant combines Japanese flavors with French techniques and a raw bar sensibility. Woody is French trained and most recently worked at Lark at Coterie and Lux at Warehouse. Why Japanese? 'We respect the culture and how they are very perfectionist about food,' says Woody. Kulisek also studied Japanese cocktail crafting while stationed at Okinawa. The menu at Snow Monkeys reads fine dining (for example: marinated octopus, pearled edamame, potato puree, togarashi aioli, tarragon, and chili crunch), but Woody contends that the restaurant is meant to be a more relaxed, sharable style of dining. 'No white tablecloths here,' he says. See More: Carolinas Restaurant News Charleston Restaurant Openings

Tears at Dog's Face As He Realizes He's Going Back To Shelter After Day Out
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A North Carolina shelter dog's return after a day out with volunteers has broken the hearts of viewers on TikTok. For a few sweet hours the pup, named Woody, was no longer just another overlooked shelter dog. In a video posted to TikTok by @pawprintswithpurpose, the longtime resident of Catawba County Animal Services in Newton, North Carolina was filmed enjoying a rare break from kennel life—including a trip into town that has since drawn thousands of hearts and tears from viewers across the platform. The video from June 20, which had been viewed over 12,000 times at the time of writing, showed Woody smile in the back seat of a car, share gentle moments with children, and devour a whipped cream-topped pup cup. Yet, the clip ends on a somber note, with Woody's evident sadness as he returns to the shelter. The social media post was captioned with a heartfelt plea for adoption. "Woody's been waiting…And waiting…" it read, beneath a broken heart emoji. "He's one of our long term residents at Catawba County Animal Services. "Behind the kennel door is a good boy full of love, just struggling with the stress of shelter life." The short video starts with an overlaid text: "Remember Woody? We decided to break him out for the day…" It goes on to show the dog reacting to the simple joys of a car ride, even as it notes he is "a little unsure" at first. He is later seen enjoying treats and making friends on his walk. One frame simply read: "Loves everyone." As the day winded down, the tone of the video shifted. "Woody got sad on the way back," the overlay read: "How has he not found a home?" TikTok users flooded the comments with reactions ranging from heartbreak to frustration. Several viewers have applauded the video's creators for giving Woody at least one day away from the confines of his kennel. "Heart chain," one viewer said, while another added: "Please consider adopting this sweet baby!" The video concludes with a call to action: "Come meet him. One walk could change his life." As of the last update, Woody remains available for adoption. Newsweek reached out to @pawprintswithpurpose for more information via TikTok. A shelter dog peers out through the bars of a kennel.

Live Events Johnson, who previously attempted to buy Chelsea in 2022, now succeeds in making his mark in English football. The timing of the deal is significant for Palace, who recently qualified for next season's UEFA Europa League following their FA Cup final triumph over Manchester City. Textor's dual ownership interests, particularly his stake in French club Lyon - which also qualified for the Europa League - posed a potential conflict under UEFA's multi-club ownership rules. Johnson's acquisition helps resolve that issue and clears Palace's path to European competition, further solidifying the club's ambitions on and off the pitch.
