Didn't know where to drop this so I'm putting it here.

I'm retiring this year and want to take my bride of 33 years to Savannah Georgia. In the past this group has put me onto fun I never would have found otherwise. I'd like a couple of seafood restaurants you like in Savannah and any other non-obvious things we have to do in Savannah. We are planning May-June 2020. Thanks all.

I liked visiting Fort Pulaski, Fort Jackson and the American Prohibition Museum.

I'll second the Crab Shack and Tybee Island. A lot of great places to eat there though, you can hardly go wrong if you check TripAdvisor.

The Cathedral of St. John the Baptist.

The old ruins of the Wormsloe estate has one of those classic "tree tunnels" with arching oaks dripping in Spanish moss.All on our list. Thank you.


Just about the whole waterfront was memorable.

Bonaventure Cemetary was beautiful.

We've been to Savannah about 4 times and still find new things to see, do and eat.

I like it. These are the things I'm talking about. I watched a Youtube video of a recent experience directing folks to three eateries. I later read an article from some other folks directing one to the same three eateries. A coincidence? I don't think so. I would like recommendations like yours from places enjoyed, not paid hacks. thanks again.

Also if you have a Girl Scout in your family, a visit to the Juliette Low Birthplace can earn them a patch, I think, or a pin maybe, that they can only get there. Our daughter did that. Very interesting place even if you're not a Scout.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Herself recommends a tiny place called Pie Society where you can get American or British pies, savory and sweet. Their meat pies will fill you up. She recommends the Cornish pasty.

I recommend another small place called Joe's Homemade Cafe near the intersection of East 70th St and Waters Ave. They have homemade soups, a from scratch bakery (I go back for their caramel cake) and meatloaf that's as good as mine.

Both places are very affordable too.

River Street is good and take the road out to Tybee Island and stop at the Crab Shack for a great meal. Interesting place.

We like the Savannah River Street.
