- CA_TravelerExplorer IIIOur 12 year old daughter wanted to visit places associated with Juliette Gordon Low, founder of the Girl Scouts including her grave site. Just read the Wikipedia article which was very interesting and her birthplace is open to the public. Just one of many ideas for Savannah.
- gboppExplorerWe like the Savannah River Street.
- Bird_FreakExplorer IIRiver Street is good and take the road out to Tybee Island and stop at the Crab Shack for a great meal. Interesting place.

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.

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.
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. pbitschura wrote:

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.
Dale- magnusfideExplorer IIHerself 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. - pbitschuraExplorerThank you.
