SkymonkeyONE 4 #2 September 13, 2007 In Savannah? Sure. Stay at one of the hotels right on river street or Bay street. Listen to all the live music at the bars on River street. Kevin Barry's Irish Pub is part-owned by a guy I used to work with. There is a great place to eat pizza in City Market (right off of Bay street). I love Savannah.

irisheyes 0 #5 September 13, 2007 The Mulberry Inn on the waterfront in Savannah is wonderful!!! Kevin Barry's is a lot of fun and has good food. A friend of mine performs there regularly. Something a little more corny, but a lot of fun, is a night time ghost tour by horse and carriage. There are tons of walking tours too. Charleston is beautiful, plenty to see and do as well, check out Rainbow Row, a row of houses from the 1700's that are all painted different colors. I can't remember the places I have stayed there though. Have a blast! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gmanpilot 0 #6 September 13, 2007 I've been to both places a few times and they are both great. I've stayed here http://www.johnrutledgehouseinn.com with my ex-wife and it was the definition of what a B&B should be. The main suite has the biggest pocket doors I have ever seen. Have fun!_________________________________________ -There's always free cheese in a mouse trap. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can get a AAA rate of $162, which is pretty good considering that it will be the "high" season.She is Da Man, and you better not mess with Da Man, because she will lay some keepdown on you faster than, well, really fast. ~Billvon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
irisheyes 0 #8 September 13, 2007 Not a bad price at all!!! When I was there they did an afternoon tea thing and also had a piano player too. And the room was really very nice! Enjoy! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The_Don 0 #9 September 13, 2007 Try to hit Vinnie Van Go Go's. They make great calzones & the biggest pizza's I've ever seen! Might be the place Chuck mentioned.I am NOT being loud. I'm being enthusiastic! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jonstark 8 #10 September 13, 2007 If you can delay your trip or consider going twice you have to hit the height of Azaela season in early-late March. Second the recommendation for the Mulberry. Stayed there their first night open and loved it. Lived there for many years. You'll notice that in Sav'h there are far more large, old oaks. Charleston has been hammered over the years by hurriccanes and it shows. Both are great walking cities but after 5PM Savannah is wonderful. I lived in several carriage houses over the years. I used to just walk and walk. Knew all the players from the story Midnight in the Garden... All true to life characters and many still in town. SCAD or Savannah College of Art and Design has saved many of the old buildings from ruin and decay. They have done a huge service in this where there was no other business alternative for these treasures. Stop by the main campus and get a map then visit some of the buildings. Breathtaking. Coincidentally... The Savannah DZ was called Skydive City from 76-81 c/o yours truly. jon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flyhi 24 #11 September 13, 2007 If you have the time, read "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil" before you go. Go find Forest Gump's bench. It's the only bench in any of the "parks". About two blocks off Water Street. Near an English pub.Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

2fat2fly 0 #14 September 14, 2007 Being a Carolinian, I am biased, but there's a reason we refer to Savannah as "Charleston's Slutty Little Sister I am not the man. But the man knows my name...and he's worried Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Beer 0 #16 September 14, 2007 I was in Charelston for a while. Beautiful area. North End Brewery was nice, not sure if it is still there. There are a few restaraunts that are fronts for clubs. go thru a door in the back and it opens up to a crazy party scene. lots of history. About a 45 minute ride down a very straight road (very fast) will lead you to Skydive Walterboro. That's where I first started jumping. Learn to be happy. You can't be there for anybody else in life if you can't learn to be there for yourself. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
