Two-day Guide to Savannah
Food ๐ฝ๏ธThe Collins Quater๐๐๐๐๐ A very popular brunch spot, and it lives up to the hype. ๐๐ I ordered the seasonal Pistachio Affogato and some incredibly delicious๐๐ chia seed sago pudding. ๐I even wanted to go back the next day, but was told that the brunch menu isn't available after 3 PM.๐๐ณ ๐ฝ๏ธCommon restaurant๐๐๐ ๐This place requires advance reservation. We only managed to book a lunch slot, and had their brunch menu. Highly recommend the grilled oysters!๐ฅ ๐ฆThe Juicy Seafood๐๐๐๐๐ Affordable and tasty Cajun-style seafood! ๐ The oysters were just so-so, but the snow crab and shrimp were absolutely satisfying! I fell in love with Cajun flavors from then on.๐ฐ๐ฐ ๐ฝ๏ธThe Olde Pink House It requires advance booking, but there's a workaround for introverts โ just walk in and eat at the seats by the bar.๐ด ๐ฆLeopolds Ice Cream, a must-visit.๐จ ๐ถCitywalk & Shopping Who would have thought that the first thing I did in Savannah was buy a new outfit, instantly getting into the travel vibe? โ๏ธ โกEven though it was made in China, the store has great taste. โ๏ธโ๏ธ โฏ๏ธThe shop is called Red Clover Boutique. Starting from Red Clover Boutique, I went to find Chippewa Square, the filming location of Forrest Gump, and the Cathedral Basilica (but it was under renovation when we visited).๐ Along the way, I checked out The Stachel, a local leather goods brand in Savannah. ๐๏ธ๐ก ๐๐I was drawn to it by the billboards at the airport โ the leather is great, all handcrafted. A few steps away is The Book Lady Bookstore, and there's a nice vintage shop upstairs with many beautiful patchwork denim skirts. โฐ๏ธ ๐๏ธThen I kept walking to the fountain in the central park. Savannah is small; just mark all the places you want to visit on Google Maps and wander around freely.๐ โ It doesn't matter if you retrace your steps. P.S. The restrooms at SCAD are stunning.โ โ ๐ฌDolphin Watching Cruise ๐โค๏ธCaptain Derekโs Dolphin Adventure โ you can book directly on Google Maps. When we booked, there was only one spot left, but we called and got an extra one.๐๐ It's $40 per person. The dolphins' habitat is very close to the coast, and with the amazing sunset, it's a totally worthwhile experience.๐๐ ๐ Watching the sunrise at Tybee Island There's no visible sunrise in Savannah itself, so what we saw was actually the morning glow. ๐ป๐ป The early morning coastline is beautiful.๐ ๐We didn't plan to rent a car for city walking, but we ended up walking in to rent from Enterprise because we wanted to go to Tybee Island.๐ It was worth it to watch both the sunrise and sunset. The only downside is that the parking deck is too expensive โ $50 for one night.๐๐ ๐จStay: Marriott AC Hotel is relatively new, a bit on the outskirts, but very comfortable to stay in.๐ฃ๐ฃ #Savannah#Aurora #Lighthouse #Nightview
