Lulu’s Chocolate Bar is a great downtown Savannah spot that always gathers a line. For good reason. The desserts are fabulous and going out for sweets and cocktails is a great way to end the night when you’re not quite ready to go home but don’t want to really go out. My parents and I…

I would put Leoci’s in Savannah up against any Italian restaurant in New York. I went there for the first time on Saturday and absolutely loved it. The homemade pasta is what propels them into the superior Italian stratosphere and their sauces keep them there. I ordered one of the daily specials but tasted everybody’s…

Since it’s rare that I get to go to Savannah, I try to see all my friends from home whenever I’m there. That meant dinner and drinks with Danyse was a top priority. We decided to go to Circa 1875 for some French fare before heading to the bars. Circa is divided into the bar…

For the two or so years it has been open, I have heard all my family and friends talk about Starland Cafe (with location #2 under different name in the Telfair museum). Lamentably, every time I have tried to go either the line has been too long or…

I’m in Savannah!!! I hit the ground running the moment my plane landed and I am ready to tell you all about it. For lunch on Saturday, my parents decided to take me to Tybee (the beach in Savannah) for some “tacos” at Social. Social is an open air, white-washed, rustic building that serves food…
