MGD Guide: Savannah

Travel
August 18, 2021

We’re headed to Savannah, Georgia for today’s MGD travel guide, and it’s a good one. If this Southern city isn’t on your bucket list already, this Savannah travel guide will convince you to add it. Savannah is full of historic charm, lots of yummy eats, and sights and shops that will more than fill your weekend itinerary. So, come along with us, and see what we recommend doing, eating, and seeing in Savannah!

Savannah

Savannah is a coastal city in Georgia, just a quick two hour drive south of Charleston. If we had to describe it in one word, it would be charming! Cobblestone streets, historic architecture, and a bevy of up and coming shops and restaurants make it the perfect weekend getaway in our books.

If you’re a brunch lover, this is the spot for you! The avocado toast is a staple. There are a couple locations in the area, but we love the downtown one in particular.

This farm to table restaurant sources all their ingredients from local farmers and fishermen. Everything from the food to the ambience makes this the ideal dinner spot!

If pies are your jam (and who doesn’t love pie!?), this is the place to be! They have both savory and sweet pies that are too good to pass up.



Where to Shop in Savannah

Browsing around the home goods, antiques, and knick knacks here was such a treat! Pro tip: Grab a coffee and macaron from the little cafe inside on your way out.

Book lovers, this is the place for you! This little bookstore exudes so much charm. It’s worth popping in if you’re looking for your next read!
