Key to Savannah’s Pick-5 Local Favorites
From time to time, we like to give our readers a sampling of our absolute favorite things to do, see, eat, drink and more here in Savannah. Because we have such a wide variety of things to do and share in Savannah, we like to give you our current pick-5. No order, no ranking, just five great places or things to do that Savannahians simply can't live without.
- Forsyth Park Farmer's Market. Fresh, local produce every Saturday from 9 am - 1 pm. It's seasonal, it's fresh, it's locally grown. Eat healthy, enjoy the beautiful Forsyth Park scenery and stop by Sentient Bean and Brighter Day before you head home. Local tip: The Farmer's Market is held on the south end of the park near the tennis courts.
- Mrs. Wilkes. Everyone says it's a tourist destination, but if you live in Savannah, you have to do Mrs. Wilkes at least once... then learn the best times to avoid winding lines and go back regularly. Well worth the wait, Mrs. Wilkes serves up a heaping of home cooked deliciousness every weekday from 11 am - 2 pm.
- Vinnie Van GoGos. More affectionately titled Vinnie's. There's nothing better than a hot slice of fresh pizza from Vinnie's. $2.50 for a plain slice, $.50/$.75 for extra toppings and $3 for a beer leaves you full and with a check that isn't outrageous. Local tip: Vinnie's is cash only, so be sure to stop by the City Market ATM before you go.
- Tybee North Beach & Lighthouse. You get to the pier and pavilion. It's beautiful... and crowded! If you're looking for a little less "tourist" and a little more quiet relaxation, head down to the north beach. You might even see a classic summer wedding on the beach!
- Lulu's Chocolate Bar. This mood-lit, chocolate-indulgence-filled dessert bar is the perfect place if you want properly made, delicious martinis PLUS a smoke free atmosphere. There's always good food, drinks and music, and Lulu's is a great place to catch local entertainment, from open mics and musicians to fundraising events. Lulu's is the perfect place to get a solid drink and still be able to carry a conversation without yelling. Laid back, quiet, and fun.
