A Weekend in Savannah, GA

Savannah is a city in Georgia that is rich in history and in beauty. People flock to Savannah for it’s art and food. It’s also one of the most popular bachelorette party destinations in the south. Tybee Island is another perk of visiting Savannah, it’s a little beach town about 20 minutes out of the city. Nathan and I spent a relaxing weekend in Savannah last summer and I’d like to share some of the things we did!

I’ll start with talking about food because it was one of my favorite parts of our trip. The first place we wondered into was a dessert shop called Below Zero. At this point I had only seen rolled ice cream in videos on the internet so I was really interested in watching these artist at work. I ordered a s’mores flavored rolled ice cream that was just as gorgeous as it was tasty.

Next is Jazz’d Tapas Bar, they play live jazz music at night and serve delicious tapas starting at 4pm. Walking into this restaurant, I had no idea what a tapa was. The waitress explained to us that it was a small dish, like an appetizer, and we should get a few different ones to share. So that’s what we did, Nathan ordered the chicken and waffles and I ordered crawfish mac and cheese. And yes, they are as good as they look!

Paula Deen’s Lady and Sons restaurant was another that we really enjoyed. Nathan ordered and ate off the buffet, I sampled everything and was not disappointed. I ordered a parmesan crusted catfish with cheese grits and it was great! The fish was crunchy with lots of flavor and the cheese grits were smooth and decadent.

The last food I’ll touch on is Chicken Salad Chick, which is a chain restaurant, but we had never had it before. I had always heard so many good things about it so we decided to have it for lunch and I must say we fell in love. Anytime we are near a Chicken Salad Chick we have to get some! They are known for flavorful chicken salads that you can choose depending on your preference. My personal favorite is the Sassy Scottie, which features bacon, cheddar cheese, and ranch.

Moving on from food, my next recommendation is to book a ghost tour. We did a walking tour that started pretty late at night and it was so much fun. They range from kid friendly to super scary, so we picked one that seemed to be a little of both. The ghost tour did give some history and was a cool way to see the city.

I urge you to spend some time walking around looking in the art galleries, we seen so many beautiful pieces of art while we were in Savannah!

The city of Savannah is just so photogenic, so I really suggest getting some pictures in the city. Every where you look there is a photo op!

The last place I want to touch on is Tybee Island, I don’t have any good pictures of it but we had a lovely time there. It was a nice contrast to being in the city. It’s no huge beach or anything but we did enjoy it!

I hope you had as much fun reading this post as I did writing it!
