Savannah's Restaurant: Oh Yeah!
topmarmot Says: Great food. Classy ambience. Located in a 100 year old house. Would be a tremendous place for REALLY impressing someone. Tad bit pricey though, so make sure you're on expenses! The only quirk I noted was that it was a bit dark at our table.

This mall has about 140 stores and 10 eateries. My wife buzzed through them in just over an hour.
Top brand names in the mall were:
Aeropostale, Gap, Old Navy, Victoria Secret, Firestone, Toy R Us, Kohls, Macys, Sears, Penneys,Circuit City, etc.etc.
Top food places in the mall are:
Bob Evans, MC Donalds, Panera, Ruby Tuesday, Wendys
So if you are on vacation and your wife starts getting antsy from all the driving, stop in here to give her her shopping fix.

Helpfulness
The criminal statistics for the greater Huntington metropolitan area is not very good.
Crime happens in Huntington at one and one-half the rate of an average American town of similar size. The biggest problems are non-violent crimes like home burglaries, garage vandalism, car break-ins, shop-lifting. Most of these do not greatly affect tourists.
However, there are 82 sex offenders registered for the Huntington area.
to see more information about this, go to the website below.
Use caution and take some safety advise:
ask the motel staff if there are any parts of town to be avoided; put valuables in the motel safebox; don't flash your cash or act like a tourist; lock car doors; keep a good eye on the kids if they are traveling with you.
We had no problems at all and we ate, shopped and stayed overnight in the area.
