About Savannah
City overview
Savannah is a planned colonial city of shaded squares, live oaks, river warehouses, and a strong preservation layer around the Historic District and Victorian District. The calendar swings from spring garden weather to heavy summer heat, fall ghost-tour and festival demand, and mild winter weekends.
Food & drink
Savannah food leans coastal Southern: shrimp and grits, crab stew, fried green tomatoes, biscuits, pralines, and seafood near the river or marsh. The strongest dining mix is split between polished Historic District restaurants, Starland casual spots, and beach seafood on Tybee.
