Any food/adventures we shouldn't miss? Weekend getaway with my sugar momma wife.

There is a little place downtown called Sly's Sliders that is awesome. I try to go there once a month with the leadership in my company. They are pro military and have outstanding food.

17 hundred and ninety restaurant

It's a tourist trap, but if you want to go to Paula Deen's restaurant (The Lady and Sons), it's OK...just OK. In all honesty, I was expecting to be blown away with flavors I'd never experienced, but I'll have to say my mom cooks just as good or better. At least that was my experience...YMMV.

We took a guided walking tour lead by Savannah Dan and really enjoyed it.

The Mighty 8th museum
Take a tour. It is a quick and easy way to see "everything".
Read "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil" before you go.
St. Bonaventure Cemetery.



Back of a grave stone. Looks like a woman's face to me:


Downtown from the River:

For a weekday lunch. Mrs Wilkes Dining Room is really good. Not a light lunch.

Definitely second this recommendation!

We took a bus tour based on the book and they went to all of the locations mentioned in the book and told some interesting stories. It was a lot of fun seeing the places in real life mentioned in the book (which is a true story of a murder that took place in Savannah).

Mrs. Wilkes Boarding House on Jones Street...she has passed, but I think it's being run by her son...it's been over ten years since I dined there, but it's always been good (you have to take your dirty plates to the kitchen )...

Just walking through the parks near River Street is a treat in itself

Oops...I just saw Vanwall beat me to it

Breakfast: B Matthews or J Christophers
Lunch: One Eyed Lizzie’s (River Street) or Driftaways (South side of town, close to Isle of Hope) or The Vault (mid-Town)
Dinner: Pink House ($$$$) or The Vault or Elizabeth’s ($$$$$) or The Atlantic ($$$) or Vinnies (Pizza, cash only $$). The Crab Shack or AJs (Both of them are at Tybee Island).
Check the menus at each one of the above restaurant as they all offer different specialties.
Haven’t been to Savannah Chart House in 15 years but it always provided great food, service and a relaxing atmosphere.
Happy Hunting.....
Weather this weekend should be perfect!

We spent one day in Savannah earlier this year. We did a trolley tour that was fun and informative and then walked the shops.

Seemed quite "touristy" but again the trolley tour was good.

Wish I could be more informative but just doing it in one day was quick.

I was in Savannah for my nieces wedding in September. While I was there, I took my wife out to dinner on our 24th anniversary here:

They occasionally will have exotic game. When I was there, I had the elk tenderloin

Sort of a anniversary homecoming, since I was married in the Hunter AAF chapel.

We ate there tonight, at your recommendation. I had the prime rib, along with some seafood appetizers. It was fantastic.


My wife had read "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil" a while back, and we watched the movie together a couple of months ago.

Tomorrow we are going to go do some tourist stuff. I appreciate the ideas so far!

If you go to Atlanta, the first question people ask you is, "What's your business?" In Macon they ask, "Where do you go to church?" In Augusta they ask your grandmother's maiden name. But in Savannah the first question people ask you is "What would you like to drink?”
