Food Scene

We have no shame. We own this restaurant and we’ve been open for over ten years. If the fried Southern charm has worn off, Kayak serves some great healthy eats. Great tacos (seriously), big salads, Panini, great cocktails… it’s worth a try, even if we weren’t so biased about it! We’re also smack dab Downtown in the Shopping District and have some great outdoor tables for people watching. Check us out and tell us what you think!

Here we are again, touting ourselves. Well, where on Broughton Street we are busy and tight for space, here in Midtown we have a large patio, a great bar and room to breathe… and eat! Same great menu, plus excellent specials like Wild Salmon Tacos and a Weekend Brunch All Natural Short Rib Hash that’s to die for.

Best late-night greasy spoon in the Downtown area, hands down. AND THEY DELIVER…LATE. Great burgers, wings, nachos, all of the bad stuff that tastes SO good!

One of our fav’s and super close to the Condo. It’s casual, yet fancy enough, without the unnecessarily high bill at the end of the meal. Great Bourbons, great cocktails, great specials, great everything. Given that it’s a three minute Uber from the Condo, It’s hard to find a reason not to go here! If possible, make reservations, but walk-in’s okay too.

CBP has been serving great comfort food in Savannah since 1933. The atmosphere is great, the food & service always deliver and Ben the bar manager always keeps an amazing rotation of great beers on their 20+ taps. It can get packed, but well worth the wait.

A great new neighborhood restaurant with excellent food, awesome outdoor space and some fantastic cocktails. Definitely a new favorite of ours and judging by how busy it is every time we go, we think everyone else in Savannah agrees! They don’t take reservations but the wait is usually respectable and the service superb.

Closer to the Condo, Local is a restaurant that’s tenure here for almost 10 years sometimes keeps it in the shadows of the newer scene- but they still deliver a great product. Perch, their rooftop bar, is also an excellent choice for relaxing with a cocktail under the Live Oak trees just off of Forsyth Park.

It may be hard to find (not with an Uber) but we think it’s worth it. The Wyld Dock sits on a beautiful creek in the middle of Savannah, far from the Trolleys and horses of Downtown, and serves truly great food with a great cocktail menu to boot. We all wish we could be the people you see arriving by boat (oh, and they do) but just being there is enough to know you’re officially in the Low Country!

What can I say? People line up for this stuff, and when I say line up, on hot days they have employees just to hand out ice water to help people stay hydrated while they wait for a scoop of this delicious locally made ice cream. And maybe it’s all worth it, considering the Toronto Sun named it no.5 best ice cream in the WORLD. Locals tip: they’re open til 11pm (midnight on weekends), go late and beat the crowds…

Drinks & Nightlife

Savannah’s newest speakeasy, the basement bound Alleycat has a newspaper menu with pages and pages of great cocktails and a bar with literally hundreds of different spirits- and some great bartenders to boot. Definitely worth a visit if it’s not overwhelmed by thirsty townies! The entrance is in the alley South of Broughton Street.

Sightseeing

Take the free Belles Ferry from River Street over to the Westin on Hutchinson Island and have a drink on the waterfront overlooking the city skyline & watching the ships come to port. Go at dusk for an unmissable view of the Savannah Riverfront.

Parks & Nature

Even though it’s an annoying $10 an adult, Wormsloe Plantation has THE most amazing tree-lined entrance of any state park I’ve ever seen. It’s photogenic, on the marsh, and just drop-dead gorgeous. We always take family members from out of town here because it TRULY defines the natural geography of the Deep South.

Savannah's most beautiful park is just a few minutes walk from the Condo. It is also home to our city's most iconic fountain, a must for photos! And don't forget to check out the Forsyth Farmers Market. Held every Saturday from 9am to 1pm, the weekly market features a great selection of local produce, meat and eggs and sweets.

What can I say? I grew up here. Understandably, some call it the Redneck Riviera. I get it. But if you look beyond the sometimes undesirable people that flock here every summer, you will see beautiful beaches and uninhabited islands in the distance.

Our new favorite place to shop! Serving Savannah for almost 100 years, their new downtown location is a great medley of excellent meats (including local choices), awesome cheeses and sides and a wall of great wines. AND THEY MAKE EXCELLENT SANDWICHES!!! If you wanted to stock up for the ultimate picnic or have a beach day in style, these guys can make it happen. And you can definitely call ahead to order if time is of the essence.
