Why do you say that? I would argue Seattle with the rain (And I lived in Vancouver WA for 3 years, so I'm not picking on WA) is depressing, my Ex wife hated it there, but it was beautiful when it was not raining!.

To each their own I guess. We lived in NH for 7 years. It just didn't resonate with us. Very glad to be back in the PNW.

Anywhere in New England in mid-November is fraught! Our weather can be very tempremental. Aspen? Blue Ridge mountains? Taos?

We go to the Blue Ridge Mnts 2-3 times per yr…

Might go visit Charleston instead. Appreciate everyone's input.

So anything along those lines, seasonal, cold is fine, worth traveling to cities, towns, whatever?
You have a house in NC? What are the leaves like there in November?

At first glance, I thought the title said, "Is Cape Cod Worth Saving?" hahahahaa.... most likely.

I was there last week and it wasn't too cold. It's a good place to hang out if you seek chill vibes instead of Vegas-style nightlife vacation. Food and dining is cheap.

Stunning - you should go if you haven't already - Ive gone 2-3/yr my entire life. My wife's idea was Cape Cod - but Nov is likely a pass. We will prob go to Charleston.

Right, sometimes the solution is hidden in plain sight.

You're not wrong - we've been to our mountain house 3 times this yr. Wife being from the West Coast - beautiful Santa Cruz, we are always looking for new hidden gems together. We settled on Charleston this time.

We are in mattapoisette now for a wedding, it's very pretty. Coming from 94 degrees in Charleston to here on Thursday it is definitely refreshing. If you love the water, fishing boats it's definitely a good time. Nostalgic for me with family from Maine.

That's right JP10 - you live in Charleston! Please send us recommendations - staying on Fulton St near French Quarter.


The end of October and early November is the sweet spot and the best time to visit Charleston SC for great weather and fewer crowds (and you've passed the peak hurricane months). Temperatures range from the mid-50s to low-70s. Late October and November are also the driest months of the year.

Too many good places to eat that is for sure.

Downtown:
O-Ku
Bistronomy
Stella's
Coterie
167 Raw
High Cotton
Magnolias
Lewis's
Husk
I could go on and on.

Isle of palms and Sullivan island have a bunch of good places as well if you have a rental-nice walking the beach after you eat as well. Obstinate daughter is one of my favorites.

Horse tours are popular downtown especially if you want some history.

Post dinner, Carmella's and Kaminskys are great for desert - they have drinks as well. Other popular joints would be the Honey Hive, bourbon and bubbles, or Felix's.

Really depends what you're in to, but as you can tell food and drink are quite popular lol.

This.

One of my younger sisters lives there. I could never deal with the insane traffic one half the year, and everything being dead and closed the second half.

OP: November wouldn't be an ideal time to go, but early/late summer would be. Also a +1 for Newport, RI. My previous employer had a few clients up there and it was great. 👌🏻

Might want to revisit the notion of Charleston given the storm surge prediction?
