Food here was fantastic! We had their pandan scallops and I think about them all the time. I think they rotate menu for seasons so we won’t be lucky enough to come across them again, but I recommend trying this place!
Emporium Kitchen & Wine Market
Make a reservation, they are busy all the time. A+ experience
The Olde Pink House
I love the one in the Forsyth Park because you get a lovely view of the park and get to enjoy a wonderful breakfast. Yummy mimosas. Check them out, they do get busy.
The Collins Quarter
The shrimp boils here were so good. We went 4 times 🫣
Savannah Seafood Shack
I feel like you have to come here on your visit. Lines are usually long, ice cream is good.
Leopold's Ice Cream
Great spot to grab a daiquiri and then explore the city. Super refreshing in the summer!

Location is super central so you’ll likely be close by. Stop in for a drink, the coffee is good!
The Coffee Fox Roasting Co.
Lots of frozen daiquiris here to choose from as well.
The Georgia Tasting Room
We had such a good meal here. Highlyyyy recommend
Husk Savannah
We had cocktails here only because my husband is gluten free. I believe they didn’t have many options or clear options but I’ve heard great things about the food so I did still want to recommend checking this spot out!

Stunning. So stunning. I love this park. The trees, the southern charm, everything.
You can grab breakfast in the park which is lovely.

Forsyth Park
The cemetery was a nice visit. We had a local take us around and give us a tour. Learned about those that are buried there and history of the town. Recommend checking out
Bonaventure Cemetery
BEAUTIFUL 🤩 easily accessible by trolly if you do a tour. They drop off and pick up there.
The Cathedral Basilica of St. John the Baptist
DO this. It’s a great way to see the entire city and hop on and off when you want to explore something. Best thing I’ve done there because it gives you easy, reliable access to the city.
Old Town Trolley Tours of Savannah
Open-air marketplace with food, art, and music. You can find frozen daiquiris here too, perfect on a hot, humid, summer day.
City Market
Many squares and parks around town! You can even visit the one Forrest Gump was filmed in back in the day. They moved his bench to the welcome center I believe.
Savannah's Squares and Parks
I didn’t go during this but I did learn they have the largest St Patrick’s celebration! I never knew that
St Patrick's Day Parade Committee
I didn’t go, but I’ve seen them all over TikTok and had to include this on something to do in Savannah. The games look fun!
The Savannah Bananas
Savannah is known for paranormal activity. A ghost tour at night here is so fun. You learn the history and see several places!
