Recs for Savannah GA

Tybee Island is a nice day trip. There’s a historical fort there and another on the way.

Drive out to Tybee and eat lunch. Ordinary Pub not to be missed. Madame Butterfly has arguably the best cocktails in town. Traylor Park is great.

Fair warning. Someone is going to come in here and recommend The Grey. Restaurant in an old Greyhound Bus station. Skip it. Far and away the most overrated and PRETENTIOUS restaurant I have ever been inside. I left after appetizers. It's one of those "we won't give you salt and pepper as you need to experience the food the way the chef intended" type places.

Fort Pulaski is awesome if you care at all about civil war stuff.

I’ve seen the “chef” cook. I swear she’s retarded.

One of my cousins recommended The Grey Market for breakfast. Is that the same place?

Not the same (owned by same people I think) but is a casual style place with an amazing burger.

Never been to Grey but I've heard mixed results
Pink House and Elizabeth on 37th very good

I thought I was on the food board. Do you need recs for anything else besides restaurants?

Try and get a table at noble fare

The Marriott on the river has a museum level that is fantastic. Crystal samples and fossils that are really amazing. There are more expensive places but Dockside Seafood down from your hotel was our best meal there. Get a trolley tour to see the city. SCAD had a free tour at their original location that put Disney to shame. Definitely recommend it. It’s the building with the cannons framing the doors. We did several home tours and they were all interesting.

People will also recommend the hop on/hop off bus to get a feel for the layout of the city. We did this and I wouldn't recommend. We did a ghost tour pub crawl which gave us a much feel of the city and was a lot of fun.

We ate at Pink House (definitely recommend), Trailor Park (was pretty good but kind of hectic, not relaxing), Ordinary Pub (was solid), and really wanted to try Alligator Soul but couldn't get in.

Check out the rooftop bar at the Thompson next door to the Marriott.

Everyone rants and raves about Leopold’s, but, if you don’t want to wait in that line, try Hawaiian-style slushes and ice cream down the street at Hokulia.

I did a self walk around tour. Checked out Colonial park cemetery.

Breakfast at Two cracked eggs Cafe nearby was good.

I found it somewhat fascinating watching the cargo ships go upriver. The ships get so close to the walkway it's kind of a sight imo. Watching those tugs work was impressive, to me.

I enjoyed the city but didn't get much time there. I look forward to going back.
