![]() ![]() There are fewer tourists wandering about, meaning you’ll have fewer crowds. Winter is definitely much cooler yet still pretty mild compared to winters up north. There are still crowds, especially in the autumn months and during October thanks to it being spooky season. However, spring and fall are much more pleasant times to visit as the temperatures are slightly more bearable. Savannah is also pretty crowded during the summer too, so if you hate crowds, it may be best to avoid this time of year. Plus, having a hotel with a pool can be super helpful! I’ve visited in the middle of summer, and while it is definitely scorching hot outside, you can find ways to cool down either by visiting the beach on Tybee or spending some time checking out indoor attractions. At one point, waiters moved chairs and a table into the room.so big they barely fit through the doorway.Honestly, you could visit Savannah year-round. The Crabmeat Stuffed Grouper (52.95), the evening special and the Crispy Scored Flounder were delicious. ![]() ![]() We assisted in stacking up the plates and utensils, while the server held aloft our hot entrees. When we had barely set down our salad forks, our entrees arrived with salad plates still on the table. Our salads quickly followed the disappearance of the biscuits.the Iceberg Wedge and the "BLT" Fried Green Tomatoes were both yummy. I looked longingly, as my half-eaten biscuit departed the room. Lovely! Wine and gin were ordered and hot biscuits arrived.yum! We ask to linger a bit to enjoy our drinks and peruse the menu, but felt there was a push to order up.AND before I had finished my biscuit.the waitress whisked away the bread plates. My husband and I ascended the winding staircase and were seated at a window with a view of the square. The Olde Pink House kept coming up as a "must-do." The house is exquisite.stepping inside you know it is a special place to dine. You should come and see for yourself!īefore coming to Savannah, I did some homework.so many good places to eat and so little time. We really didn't have so much time to do a full reconnaissance of the place but we gained enough of an impression to say that we loved the place. And, in the same square, you can pretend to be Forrest Gump in the movie where, at the beginning, he captures a feather and eats a box of chocolates. In the Chippewa Square where there is an impressive bronze statue of the founder himself, the aforementioned James Edward Oglethorpe. I appreciated the fact that there were many park benches to sit down on, rest and do some serious people watching. As we walked mainly through the little parks/squares we didn't really focus on the architecture which was our mistake. We were there on a late afternoon in May. By the way, it's not a moss, rather being an epiphytic flowering plant and it doesn't come from Spain. As we walked on we were struck by the many mature trees providing welcome shade, many of which were draped in that southern style, grey Spanish moss. They formed the basis of the original town planning by the founder, the Englishman, James Edward Oglethorpe. We were intrigued by the number of little parks (more like squares and originally 24 of them). Having received helpful tips from the Savannah Visitors Center (sic) on a walking tour around the Historic District, my son & I strode off to see as much as possible. ![]()
