America's oldest city has everything a traveler could want - history, beaches, world-class restaurants, and ghost tours. What it does not always have is a convenient guide to the practical stuff you hope you never need but are very glad to have when you do. This page covers the essentials: where to get medical care, where to fill a prescription, where to buy groceries, what to do in a pet emergency, and a handful of other things that make the difference between a vacation hiccup and a vacation disaster.
