Day trip

Tybee Island is about 30 minutes away and can be a great day trip to enjoy beautiful beaches, picturesque sunsets and delicious seafood waterfront.

Brunch

The Grey: Who knew a Greyhound bus terminal could be transformed into one of the most iconic and delicious restaurants in Savannah? Popular for dinner, but a great brunch spot as well. Enjoy a nice bottle of bubbles and share items such as fried chicken & hoe cakes, crab beignets, duck pastrami and smoked fish with potato rosti.

Collins Quarter: Sit outside at the Forsyth Park location and enjoy beautiful scenery along with your Spiced Lavender Mocha, Strawberry Fields Mimosa and Turkish eggs (Poached Eggs, Falafel, Honey Chili Oil, Tomato Puree, Savory Dill Yogurt, Pita).

Dinner

Husk: This is a must-stop for great, elevated Southern food. The menu changes often so you are sure to experience the freshest ingredients of the season. Think low country oysters, Georgia beef tartare, pimento cheese (the best I had!) and South Carolina swordfish with candy roaster squash, farro and pumpkin seed. Make sure to chat with their sommelier to get the perfect wine pairing. Reservations recommended.

Olde Pink House: A Savannah staple for a reason and one of the more difficult reservations to get. Enjoy an amazing dinner in an elegant Southern mansion. Craving fried green tomatoes? They have several options, and narrowing it down may be the most difficult part! Try the shrimp and grit cakes, low country she-crab soup and the caramelized onion and sweet potato ravioli for a well-rounded meal but don't forget to ask about the nightly specials!

Drinks

Drinks with a View: Savannah is too beautiful to not enjoy a good rooftop bar! Visit Myrtle & Rose for a nice water view and The Grove for a view of the busy square.

Drinks with a Vibe: Want to go underground and feel like you've found a secret spot with amazing cocktails? Try Jazz'd or Alley Cat Lounge. Feet tired and need a comfy seat to sit back and enjoy some bubbles and girl talk? Hit up Bar Bubbly and order a Hibiscus Champagne Cocktail. Weather nice outside and looking for some live music? Grab a table and a pint at Wexford.
