What Sheri loves about Savannah
Romantic
For special occasions, Pink House can't be beat. The crispy scored flounder is out of this world. It's a large portion so you may want to split it. Because you should save room for the praline basket dessert.

Happy Hour
Monday through Friday, the best happy hour in town. The prime rib sliders and lettuce cups are personal favorites. The wine selection for happy hour is outstanding and so well priced.
We love to take the ferry over to River Street, walk just a block west to the Chart House and enjoy happy hour.

Ice Cream
Please do not leave Savannah without visiting Leopold's, a Savannah tradition. Stratton and Mary Leopold craft some of the best ice cream, often using seasonal, local ingredients. There will be a line - so try to go mid-afternoon or very late at night.
Our family favorites include blueberry cheesecake (a seasonal favorite), caramel, peanut butter chippy and lemon chiffon. If you cannot tolerate dairy, opt for the delicious sorbet.

Food scene
Another local favorite restaurant. Vic's chefs are extremely accommodating of special dietary needs. The brunch is outstanding. And the views are breathtaking - try to get seated near the windows so you can watch the ships come and go from the port of Savannah

An Australian-inspired coffee shop and restaurant. The hamburger features a blend of ground beef and bacon (!). There are numerous craft cocktail options. And the brunch is delicious - but plan to wait, it's a popular option.

Neighborhoods
Washington Avenue is lined with some of the most beautiful homes in Savannah. It's more than worth a drive to sight see.

Don't leave Savannah without taking a kayaking tour with Sea Kayak Georgia on Tybee Island. My personal favorite paddle is across the Back River to Little Tybee. It can be challenging, depending on the tides so check with guides for recommendations.

Just a short drive from downtown Savannah, The Mighty Eighth tells the story of America's role in WWII. If you are fortunate, you might meet one of the last surviving veterans who will tell his personal story of his time as a bombardier.
