1544 Main Street : 1544 Main Street, Columbia, SC 29201

Join Historic Columbia as it serves up some history on 1544 Main Street, home to Drake’s Duck-In, a favorite local restaurant best known for its chicken sandwiches and friendly staff. The prescription for fun doesn’t end there, as attendees visit the second story of Drs.’ Care, where diners a century ago flocked to enjoy fine Greek food amid the hand-painted murals of the Metropolitan Café at 1538 Main Street.
