Four days in Savannah, properly

Coffee at Perc

“Before the Collins Quarter queue exists. Two blocks away and nobody there at eight.”

Forsyth Park

“Start here. Everything else is north of it and you will walk it four times.”

Owens-Thomas House

“Book the first slot. The tour covers the slave quarters properly and does not soften it.”

Mrs. Wilkes Dining Room

“Queue was round the block by 11. You have to commit to this at 10:30 or not at all.”

Zunzi's

“The Conquistador, taken to Chippewa Square. Better than the thing we queued for and did not get.”

Walk Bull Street north

“Chippewa, Wright, Johnson. Twenty minutes and it is the best twenty minutes here.”

Nap

“September and still 90 degrees. Build this in or you will fade by seven.”

The Grey

“Book three weeks out. If you did not, the bar takes walk-ins at five and it is the better seat anyway.”

The Marshall House

“Creaky, central, and the porch is worth more than the room.”

Collins Quarter

“The lavender mocha deserves the fuss. Go at 8:30 and you walk straight in.”

Bonaventure Cemetery

“Opening time or not at all. By eleven it is hot and full of tour groups.”

Fabrika

“Coffee and a long sit after the cemetery. Nobody moves you along.”

The Wyld Dock Bar

“Out on the marsh, twenty minutes from town. Ask for a table on the deck and stay two hours.”

Wormsloe Historic Site → Walked Jones Street instead, which is free and prettier.

“Would have been a third drive. Walked Jones Street instead, which is free and prettier.”

Artillery

“No phones, which sounds precious and is the entire reason it is pleasant.”

Cotton & Rye

“Out of the historic district. Quieter, cheaper, and the best meal of the four days.”

The Marshall House

Clary's Cafe

“A diner, not a destination, which on day three is exactly right.”

Telfair Academy

“An hour. Small, well-chosen, and the Bird Girl is here, not in the cemetery where everyone looks.”

Jepson Center

“Same ticket as the Telfair. Modern, and a good argument against it.”

Green Truck Pub

“Burgers, local beer, no queue. Worth the walk out to Habersham.”

Leopold's

“Honey almond and cream. The line looks worse than it is, it moves.”

River Street

“Once, for twenty minutes, so you can say you did. The cobbles are brutal in the wrong shoes.”

The Olde Pink House

“Tavern downstairs, not the dining room. Same kitchen, half the ceremony, no booking needed.”

Alley Cat Lounge

“Underground, menu like a newspaper. Hand it back and let them choose.”

The Marshall House

Collins Quarter

“Third visit. That is the review.”

Walk the squares we had missed

“Troup, Whitefield, Calhoun. Nobody there and the same trees.”

Zunzi's

“Also third visit. No defence offered.”

Forsyth Park

“Finished where we started, which was not planned and felt right.”
