Savannah Guide
A Few Great Savannah Restaurants
Eating well in Savannah isn’t a problem. There are any number of excellent restaurants to discover, from classic barbecue joints to more modern cuisine.
Savannah from the Air with Old City Helicopters
With its squares, mansions, oak trees and Spanish Moss, Savannah is a gorgeous city when you’re standing on the ground. But how does it look from the air? To find out, we got in touch with Old City Helicopters, who invited us out on a sunset tour.
The Rowdy Fun of River Street
Say you’ve got a lady companion on your arm. She’s a fine lady, dainty and demure, and you wish to take a romantic stroll along the river, and perhaps even muster the courage to steal a furtive kiss on the cheek.
Spanish Moss: Neither Spanish nor Moss
Spanish moss doesn’t come from Spain. It’s indigenous to the Southeastern US, with a range between Florida, Maryland and Texas
Wright Square
We always loved passing through Savannah’s Wright Square – there is always something going on.
Old Fort Jackson
President Thomas Jefferson ordered the construction of Old Fort Jackson to protect the important port city of Savannah.
Johnson Square
We had 24 squares to explore during our time in Savannah, and decided to start with the oldest and largest. Johnson Square was established in 1733, and named in honor of South Carolina’s colonial governor Robert Johnson.
Forsyth Park
Drayton and Whitaker Street, Forsyth is Savannah’s answer to NYC’s Central Park. It’s not as massive as its counterpart, but blends more seamlessly into the city, and has long been a part of its history.
