1 Although we can’t guarantee a ghost sighting as rumoured, at the Olde Pink House does deliver great food (try the Shrimp and Grits appetizer) and a charming atmosphere. Dine in beautifully appointed rooms and then take dessert in the basement pub where the live music infuses the party.

2 Experience southern food, boarding house style at Mrs. Wilkes Dining Room. Come early and be prepared to wait in line for at least an hour (yup, it’s worth it!). Once inside you’ll sit family style at a table that’s set for 10 but ready to feed 20. It’s all for sharing, so try a bit of everything, but save room for banana pudding. And mind your manners - return your dishes to the kitchen just as President Obama does when he visits.

3 A long day of exploring Savannah’s squares earns you a treat from Leopold’s Ice Cream. Try the Tutti Frutti and you’ll understand why Johnny Mercer wrote the famous song of the same name.
4 Looking for a taste of Manhattan in the south? Then Local 11 Ten hits the spot. Start the evening with a Gin, Lime Juice and Basil cocktail on the upstairs patio.
5 For a great view and good food, Vic’s on the River rewards. Try southern classics like Fried Green Tomatoes and Crab Cakes .
