Savannah, GA: Why Go
Dabble in the history, hospitality, and genteel charm of the Old South in Savannah, then hit the golf links, tennis courts, and beaches in Hilton Head.
Chill-out spot: Remember the life-is-like-a-box-of-chocolates scene in Forrest Gump? It was filmed in Chippewa Square, which is one of 24 mini-parks that are part of Savannah's urban planning scheme devised by General Oglethorpe, one of Georgia's colonial founders.
Where to blow a paycheck: Savannah's City Market consists of a four-block area with a pedestrian promenade that emanates Southern charm. Art galleries, working art studios, antique shops, and restaurants fill the identical rows of the 19th-century brick buildings, which are restored grain elevators.
You can take it with you: ShopSCAD on Bull Street is a gallery loaded with rare and original handmade creations conceived by talented, and soon-to-be-discovered artists from the Savannah College of Art and Design. Pick up everything from cuff links and checkbook covers to paintings and jewelry.
Reason to pack a coat and tie: Located in Savannah's luxurious Mansion on Forsyth Park hotel, 700 Drayton serves Southern gourmet dishes amidst breezy metallic sheers. Start with the lobster bisque made with vanilla mascarpone, cut into the pecan-encrusted rack of lamb, and finish with white chocolate banana bread pudding.
Get out of Dodge: After a few rounds of golf on Hilton Head, take some time for bird watching at the Audubon-Newhall Preserve. Walk around the 50-acre forest and discover native plants around every turn.
Local secret: Located in an upscale trailer park (yes, really) near Hilton Head, Sunset Grille offers five-star quality food and incredible views. It?s famous for Sunday brunch, so sip Bloody Marys, nibble on fresh biscuits, then dive into Cajun fried oysters with a gorgonzola cream sauce or salmon with grits.
Recommendations & Suggestions
Bonaventure Cemetery
330 Bonaventure Road
Phone: 912.651.6843
This is a cemetery east of downtown. Bonaventure is famous for its gothic beauty and for being the burial site of Danny Hansford, one of the main characters in the best-selling book Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil. One thing you won't see here is the famous "bird girl" statue that graced the book's cover. In order to protect her from the throngs, she was moved to a safer setting at Telfair Mansion Museum at 121 Barnard Street.
Club One Jefferson
1 Jefferson Street
Phone: 912.232.0200
One of the city's hottest gay bars, Club One Jefferson is a sprawling affair with a mezzanine overlooking the dance floor, bars on each level and a bevy of beefy go-go dancers strutting their stuff on the dance floor. Call ahead to find out who is scheduled to entertain--at least once a month the Lady Chablis, of Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil fame, appeases her fans with an appearance.
Mercer House
429 Bull Street
A sprawling red brick palace, and now a private residence, Mercer House was the site of Jim William's antique shop. Williams' sometime assistant, Danny Hansford, was gunned down here. Spooky! (Tours are now available.)
Telfair Museum of Art
124 Abercorn Street
Phone: 912.233.9743
The oldest art museum in the South, the Telfair Museum is an important regional and national resource of the arts, culture, and history. The Telfair Museum encompasses the Telfair Academy of Arts and Sciences, the Owens-Thomas House, and the Telfair's new building, scheduled to break ground in the fall of 2001. The Telfair's permanent collection includes paintings, works on paper, sculpture, and decorative arts.
