A day near the park

We tried to make it to Mrs Wilke's dining room for Breakfast, but after getting lost and combing the area for an hour, we gave up and ate at another breakfast spot from the book (midnight in the garden of good and evil). We saw the Andrew Low House and spent an hour in Forsyth Park. The park is a definite must. The famous fountain in the center makes for great photos and also a great place to sit and relax. The houses along the sides of the park are beautiful as well. We ate lunch at the Gryphon Tea Room, part of SCAD (Savannah College of Art and Design). The food was great. The Green Meldrim House was so busy, we never got to see it, despite a second try. We went to Monterrey Square to sit for a while because it was supposed to be especially beautiful, but it really wasn't any different than any of the other squares in Savannah. That being said, any of the Squares are perfect for a relaxing sit while you watch the world go by. They really were genius additions to the city plan. You'll definitely come away wondering why cities aren't designed like this today. The Cathedral of St John the Baptist is beautiful. Garibaldi's was a good meal. I had hoped to hop a few bars after dinner along Bay Street. We skipped Moon River, tried Bay Street Blues, which was relaxed, if a little scummy, but also empty. We also  tried Churchhill's Pub, which is a restaurant, not a pub. It was also a bit more upscale that what I had in mind, though they did have a neat rooftop bar that overlooks the city (not the river).

Savannah has it all - old world charm, beautiful sights and unbeatable southern hospitality.
Try Mrs. Wilkes for lunch but you'd better get there by 11 - cause the line starts building after that. And well worth the wait I must say, Fried Chicken, Meat Loaf, Sweet Potato Souffle, biscuits with cane syrup all served family style. Not to be missed!

Savannah is wonderful. It's so different that the rest of the states. It's almost like a little Europe with the cobblestone,brick and oystershell streets. The variety of architechure is very interesting from the materials used, to the restoration, and landscaping.
A romantic city and I hope that the City limits the chain stores and eateries. The food, OMG. Try Sundee Cafe on Tybee Island for dinner. It's the best.

We went to Savannah to attend a luau for a family member. I enjoyed Savannah. We had one problem. DO NOT stay in the Days Inn Oglethorpe Mall. It is one step short of being a roach motel. It had a terrible odor. The staff is not friendly at all. We reserved four rooms. We we arrived that night they gave my cousin a room filled with nasty blankets stacked high as the ceiling (no joke). When we checked in someone was at the front desk complaining about roaches. I couldn't get a good nights rest for being afraid of bedbugs. Other than that I really enjoyed Savannah. I enjoyed the River Walk. We plan to return in August to visit Tybee Island.
