BEST PLACE TO TAKE A CLIENT – Head to Perch, a rooftop bar, for a cocktail, then go downstairs for an excellent meal.
FAVORITE WATERING HOLE – Green Truck Pub. The burgers are the best!
BEST VIEW – River Street and the skyline of Savannah as seen from the Westin Hotel on Hutchinson Island.
FAVORITE BUILDING – The historic Armstrong House situated just north of Forsyth Park, which was built as a private residence in 1919. You have to see it to believe it.
UGLIEST BUILDING – Without a doubt, the federal complex. The exterior appears to be made from bath tiles.
BEST RESTAURANT – The Olde Pink House, which is known for its modern Southern fare. Ask to be seated in the original building.
WEEKEND GETAWAY – Little St. Simons Island, a small private island off the Georgia coast.
FAVORITE HISTORICAL FACT – In his March to the Sea, Gen. William Tecumseh Sherman spared the city of Savannah and presented it to President Lincoln as a Christmas gift.
FAVORITE HISTORICAL SITE – Fort Pulaski, which was designed and constructed with the assistance of a young Robert E. Lee.
FAVORITE CITY EVENT – Definitely St. Patrick’s Day, when all the fountains spray green water, and hundreds of thousands come to watch the third-largest parade in the nation.
FAVORITE HISTORICAL RESIDENT – Juliette Gordon Low, the founder of the Girl Scouts. Yes, I was a Girl Scout. Our troop in Macon made a trip to Savannah to visit her home.
FAVORITE BREAKFAST SPOT – J. Christopher’s. Try the grits!
FAVORITE PARK – Forsyth Park downtown, where one can find tranquility, play tennis or join a pickup game of soccer.
FAVORITE LUNCH SPOT – Skyler’s in the basement of a historic inn on Bay Street. The flounder and the shrimp are the best!
FAVORITE MOVIE THEATER – The Lucas. It is worth a visit just to see the beautiful restoration of the theater.
BEST PLACE FOR PEOPLE WATCHING – River Street. And you can also see enormous ocean container vessels up close and personal.
FAVORITE LOCAL SHOP – Savannah Bee Company. Who knew so many items are better made with honey?
MOST HEARTBREAKING CITY SPORTS MOMENT – When the Savannah Sand Gnats baseball team, a South Atlantic League team, left town in 2015.
PLACE TO TAKE OUT-OF-TOWN GUESTS – Definitely stroll Savannah’s beautiful squares, and top off the walk with a trolley tour to soak up Savannah’s history.
FAVORITE LESSER-KNOWN TOURIST ATTRACTION – The Pin Point Heritage Museum. Justice Clarence Thomas was born and raised in Pin Point.
FAVORITE CITY LAW – Savannah is one of the few cities that allows you to leave the bar with your to-go cup.
