Spending a few days in Savannah before heading further south. Anyone have any

suggestions on "must see"'s or great places to eat? We always start out with a trolley tour but I've only been there twice and I'm sure we missed a lot!

If you've been why don't you go to Charleston instead. Lots more to do.

This month's Food and Wine has a Savannah feature.

There only briefly many years ago we did enjoy lunch at

Mrs. Wilkes Boarding House. At the link is a past post in a thread asking about Savannah. If you do a search on "Savannah" and a separate search on "Mrs. Wilkes" you'll find other such threads. Have fun, Cyn.

Probably because she wants to go to Savannah.

 

[charley]

Yup, that is exactly what she said, but it was only a suggestion. ;o) Cyn and I

Sapphire Grill is still my favorite (almost next door to Paula Deen's place)

Sapphire Grill has a website, but it's so clever and tricky to find portal links that it annoys me.

We popped in to Paula Deen's place just to have a look...

it was totally packed with a 1-1/2 hour wait (that was 30 minutes after having lunch at Mrs. Wilkes Board House so we weren't hungry anyway). Paula's boys were there that day signing books. It was pretty cool to see them and check out Paula's restaurant.

Wa-BAM.

I just looked at the Trip Advisor ratings and some have reviews in the thousands!

When did THAT happen?

Crazy, no?
