I am going to Savannah for one day and I don't know where to go. I want to spend most of the day seeing historic stuff but I want to know what is the best to see. I will probably be there from about 8 am to 8 pm. Does anyone have any ideas as to a possible itinerary?
Get a map and just wander through the historic area and its wonderful squares.
Start at the visitor center on MLK Blvd. Take a bus tour in the AM to get an idea of what interest you the most. Then after the tour go for it. Downtown has a free or low cost shuttle from place to place all day. Historic buildings, River St., the squares, museums.
Come in Spring for the Azaleas blooming. March 5 - April 30th. March 17 is St Patricks Day and savannah has the second largest parade in the US and the largest party afterwards. 1/2 million people came out for it last year
I was struck by the architecture of this temple.... Mickve Israel, founded in 1733. At home we seldom see a temple with this type of architecture. I wished I could have gone inside to tour it, but noone was there. The sign tells us that this is the oldest now practicing Reform Judaism in the U.S.
Most people go to Savannah to indulge in its history and to check up on sites such as the Waving Girl or Bird Girl statues. However, my trip was taken solely to visit the Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD). Though originally my group's plan was to participate in SCAD's Sidewalk Chalk Art Festival, we became a bit discombobulated, and our dates were mistaken. It just so happened that the date we planned to visit was the date for an open studio show at a SCAD gallery.
To our delight, the open studio was fabulous! The work was amazing, the sculptures/pottery was especially unique. Upstairs were many open air exhibits. Sadly, I couldn't take photos of students' work.
The food was also great. I felt totally underdressed (in jeans and a tee, so was everyone else!) but it was soo classicly typical. There were guys going around with silver platters on their arms overing hor d'ouerves such as mini pieces of baklava. If ONLY I knew the caterers!
The Lady Chablis performs from time to time as a headliner at this club which features a female impersonator floor show.
The real Lady Chablis appears in the movie, playing, of course, The Lady Chablis. She has acquired a book deal as a result of her newfound fame in the wake of the success of Midnight.
Be sure to check out her very own Web site: http://www.theladychablis.com.
If you are visiting Savannah on a week day... there are not too many options. This Sorry Charlie's wasn't great... but it seemed to be the place where all the students hang out.
The food is good, I don't remember what I had... but it was okay. And their selection of beers is quite alright.
The only bad thing is all the televisions they have... the place has TVs everywhere playing different things, so it's hard to pay attention to a conversation with so much stuff going on around you! ha!
