Charleston SC Recommendations

I'm visiting Charleston SC this weekend and I'm looking for some recommendations as to things to see and especially places to eat. I plan on visiting the Gibbes art museum, the Calhoun Mansion and possibly the Magnolia Plantation. Any other things I should visit and especially what are some good places to have lunch and dinner in the downtown area?

I lived in Charleston for 3 years when I was young. The thing I remember most, oddly enough, are the street hot dogs. If you're really hungry and don't feel like stopping somewhere to eat a "real" meal, get a hot dog from one of the street vendors with all the fixins. I just remember as a kid I would go to the Battery Park with all the cannons, climb around on those, then go and get a hot dog from a street vendor. They're great.
I also know that my parents would always go to this French restaurant for dinner. They were in love with the place, but I can't remember the name. I'll give them a call and see if they remember what it was.
As far as food is concerned, for a nice meal check out Magnolia's or High Cotton. There's a little place I like on Mount Pleasant called the Mustard Seed.
