I live in Savannah. Two big things you missed are City Market and River & Bay Streets. City Market has a lot of shops and restaurants. River street is right on the Savannah River and it has TONS of shops and restaurants. You can also take ferries across the river. Bay Street is just above that and has nice restaurants. There is also Broughton Street, which is where Leopold’s Ice Cream is. There are a lot of nice shops and restaurants.

Boston(Back Bay and Beacon Hill), Albany, NY, Jersey City, NYC, Philly(Old City and Society Hill), Annapolis, BMore (Federal Hill), DC, Richmond (The Fan and Church Hill). The East Coast has some great colonial neighborhoods. Jones Street architecture can be in Philadelphia or Baltimore and would fit in.

Awesome. My wife and I are thinking about moving there. Is it better to live in the city or a suburb for a family?

[@juliecarriker9950]

Welcome! 😊 I've lived near downtown, and what we call the Southside, which seems more suburban, but is still within the city limits, and both are perfectly good for families. There are other towns nearby, including Pooler, that are definitely the 'burbs, with lots of newer homes. It all depends on what you and your family are looking for. If you have any specific questions I'll happily answer them.

Savannah is one of our favorite places, too! The answer to bacon is always YES! Sorry, but Charleston, SC is the oldest planned city in squares (1680). If you haven't visited SC, you should visit us! Loved your choice of music with the pics of architecture. You made me hungry for ice cream! The walk down by the river (near the back of the Hyatt) is beautiful and has a real international flavor. There is a great candy store there, speaking of flavor.😉 Enjoy your journey! (Jane from SC) The Waving Girl statue is also down there and has a really nice story to it.

I also did the Owen-and Thomas house which was a slave house most which were children. Lady and sons restaurant (the Paula deen restaurant )omg I ate there twice for dinner but never got to try the lunch menu. I also toured the St Johns Basilica church that was amazing. Do I want to go back absolutely. Like you said you can go back and see something different every time. Thank you for your video it made me want to go back right now

Yay Savannah!!! I graduated from SCAD in 1994 and loved my time there. I think the Forrest Gump “bus stop” bench was placed there specifically for the movie then removed. It was on the edge of, I believe, Wright Square. It wasn’t in the usual inner locations of the sitting benches that the squares feature.

I can’t even begin to share my love for Savannah and all the recommendations I have. The history just keeps going. From the most common like Bonaventure Cemetery and Wormsloe Plantation (both beautiful and picture worthy to amazing restaurants and hidden pieces of history everywhere. I’d suggest Treylor Park (location on Bay St) and their PB&J wings and fried banana pepper basket. 😋 La Gourmet Cafe has some amazing French pastries and bread and Little Duck Diner is the cutest place and serves nice, fresh food. Honestly, I could go on and on! Check out the little “park” (grassy area) that runs along Colonial Cemetery. They used to have duels there back in the day. 😳 Ugh! I just love Savannah! Have I said that yet?

Go to River Street and eat the chicken fingers at Spankys, they are the best ! If you're lucky you might catch one of the huge container ports pulling into port. They pass by literally a stones throw from the rivers edge and quite impressive. Savannah has one of the largest/busiest ports in the country and I don't care how unimpressive it sounds when one of them rolls by you it will be something you won't forget.

[@saratemp790]

Of course there is also the ring of poverty surrounding the smaller downtown area. Haven't been there in a few years, but I am sure it is still there. So that makes downtown a little dangerous at night.

[@hankkingsley9300]

Yeah most of us in South Georgia just have to make the decision do you want to go to Savannah or Jacksonville today and it just depends on what you look for

[@michaelhardwick8382]

Savannah is a place for peace serenity living its not set up to have the characteristics like big cities its laid out totally different the streets are laid out different than how larger cities are when I was a kid mayor John Rousakis and the county commission never wanted big companies that tried to locate here he said it would bring people from all walks of life to our city and it would never be the same 1970 quote

[@keywestfan2503]

Did my residency there. My son was born there. Go back whenever I can. Must do tip: Chicken fingers at Barnes Restaurant Slice of pizza at Vinnie Van GoGo’s St Patrick’s Day parade

[@chrisandsara]

Thanks so much for the recommendation!

[@jimmylivingston6338]

Be advised that the bench never existed. It was a prop only. Savannah has zero benches in the squares facing the street. The traffic goes clockwise and for a bench to work the traffic must go counterclockwise or two way. Another pro tip is that you can also get ice cream outside security at the airport. There's never a line there. SCAD isn't the only reason Savannah is youthful, but also a contributing factor is the four military bases within an hour of Savannah. Ft Stewart, Parris island, NAS Beaufort, and Hunter AAF which is actually in the middle of Southside Savannah. You didn't mention the name of that street. It's Jones and it's considered the prettiest street in America. But here are other street you should see. Washington, 37th, Victory, and Abercorn between Victory and DeRanne.

Wow that's interesting!! Thanks for the insight!

Nicely done but AHEM, one of the oldest Savannah sayings, "You've not been to Savannah until you've been to Bonaventure." Next time!

I live in Savannah! The best part is getting out on a boat. Would love to take you guys out on the boat!! Dm me if your ever in town again

[@chrisandsara]

Oh wow, I'm sure seeing Savannah from a boat would be so amazing!!

It's actually Stratton Leopold who owns Leopold's and is a Paramount executive, I believe Peter was his father, one of the original founders ;)

They didn’t tear the bench down. It was in Chippewa Square and is now in the Savannah History Museum

[@chrisandsara]

That's good to know!

@@chrisandsara we went two years ago and hoped to see it and didn’t realize they moved it 😂 the hop on hop off bus driver told us it was at the museum. Maybe next time we’ll see it haha!

Hi! What an amazing video! We would love to feature a few seconds of it (with credit) to promote travel in Georgia. Your perspective is so fun! If interested, you can grant us permission through the “collector” link in our bio. Hope to hear from you soon!

Tip from a Savannah girl. Get dress weights for the hem of your dress, I can't tell you how many times my dress has blown up. Lol

[@saratemp790]

I just wear a black stretch mini skirt under those dresses. Like as a slip.

[@chrisandsara]

Both such great ideas!!

[@chanthana7694]

I usually wear sport short under my skirt or dress. Lol

[@doreenmorris3857]

Next time try Bitty & Beau's Coffee......

[@chrisandsara]

Thanks for the recommendation, we will have to add it to the list!

Southeast Georgia!!!! Growing up here makes you a very unique individual that no one else is like...we have our own culture and way of life...accept no substitutes. There is no way I could explain Southeast Georgia to you that wouldn't take days or weeks I mean it can't be done in 15-20 minutes or even hours talking about a long long time to even give you the basics and even then don't think you'd understand.You ain't coming here and telling us "that's not how we did that where I came from" We'd tell you to turn around and get the hell out. And when I was a kid it might have been accompanied by shotguns. But as long as you mind your manners you ain't gonna have a problem as long as you're in the motel room by dark. If you ain't from around here you don't want to be driving at night with out of state plates trust me unless you're like on I-95 or something you don't want to be in rural Georgia driving at night out of state plates I guess we'll accept South Carolina Alabama North Carolina maybe Florida now Florida would be no no Florida would not be accepted...you are automatically a drug dealer.

Is savannah a good place to raise a family?

[@chrisandsara]

We're probably not the best people to ask that question, plus location for raising a family is very subjective so it may be great for your family or may not! We really enjoyed the city, but we've never lived there so it's tough to say!

[@mariesalway91]

just wear bike shorts under your dress, i do it all the time for that reason, stop the potential flashing :D

[@chrisandsara]

Great idea!!

[@melissas7757]

I was going to suggest that too! Flashed some people walking into work years ago and that’s all it took! Plus they help hold my stomach in since having my girls! Love your blog! You guys make me want to travel more!
