Food Scene
(countertop sandwich service) Zunzi’s is a perfect stop for lunch in between activities downtown. You can recognize the countertop service restaurant by the assortment of flags out front and a long line of patrons right around noon. Recommended: Boerewors on a roll, which is a South African sausage with gravy, onions and mustard on a roll. Sounds weird but its damn good! $ Lunch/Dinner (11AM-9PM, closed Sunday)

(well done pub fare/burgers): Located less than a mile from the apartment. Green Truck has local, fresh, homemade bar food. Great burgers, fries, and beer. Just walk out the front door, turn right on Henry, in a couple blocks turn left on Abercorn, and a half mile down on the left you’ll find it. Don’t have the energy? Stop a few blocks short at our next recommended restaurant, Blowin’ Smoke. $$ Lunch/Dinner (until 11PM, closed Sunday)

Located at 115 E. Bay St. They have a grilled apple pie sandwich and they make their nachos with waffle fries, but that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Also the fried Oreos are awesome! A great place to indulge in a city full of indulgences. Outdoor beer garden as well, which is a big plus. Usually very busy at night so plan to have a drink to wait. *Dogs welcome in outdoor beer garden. $$ Lunch/Dinner (until midnight)/Brunch Saturday and Sunday (starting at 10AM)

Located at 307 E President, this inn and restaurant gets its name from the year it was built. Very reasonably priced lunches (fried green BLT is a good choice), the dinners are well done, and the building feels old like it should. It’s actually a cool place to have a drink, but, the best part of 17hundred90 is the complimentary biscuit with honey butter drizzle. The biscuits are served at lunch and dinner, but ask for extra honey. $$-$$$ Lunch/Dinner (11AM-9PM)

Drinks & Nightlife
I’ll just go ahead and put River Street down as one big bar since that is what it is. Our first night in Savannah we got pie-eyed on the cobblestone river walk. Keep the tradition alive and stroll down to River Street, spill a Wet Willie’s daiquiri all over your shirt, and enjoy the crowds. A good place to start is The Warehouse where they typically have live music at night.

Great for a day trip outside of Savannah. Its about 1.5 hours south but worth the trip, the beach is also dog friendly. The beach is full of driftwood trees and perfect for great pictures. Also, the rest of Jekyll Island is worth checking out including the lighthouse and Georgia Sea Turtle Center.
