Once upon a time, four friends graduated law school and real life began. They moved all over Florida, got jobs, got married, and half of them had kids. Gone were the carefree days of Gainesville, Florida (Go Gators!). Now, if the four friends want to get together, they have to coordinate schedules, clear calendars, take time off work, consult with husbands, and hire babysitters. But that is okay, because, once a year, the four friends do just that. This year, they convened in Savannah for three (mostly) carefree days of exploring, shopping, and eating.
If you want a quick weekend getaway with the girls or even a romantic getaway with a significant other, Savannah is a great choice. First, it is a completely walk-able city, but Uber is also easy to use in this city. Second, there are plenty of quiet streets and over 20 beautiful squares to explore. Third, the food is good. Also, since Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD) is located here, the town is very artsy, which makes for a cool vibe and fantastic people watching! What more do you need? It’s also super dog-friendly, so bring your pup along! Below, is the perfect three-day Savannah itinerary.
Day 1:
While Savannah has an airport, I think the most economical way to get there is to fly into Jacksonville, Florida, and drive two hours into town. That’s what the four friends did! We met in Jacksonville, where one of us lives, and headed out from there. We rented an old historic home for the weekend, and I am glad we did because it makes your stay feel more authentic.
We got into town in the early afternoon, and, since we were all starving, we made a beeline to The Olde Pink House. This is probably Savannah’s most popular restaurant. It is housed in an 18th century mansion, and it serves classic Southern fare. The restaurant is good, not amazing, but it’s an institution, so that alone makes it itinerary-worthy.
If you get there early enough on a weekday, you may want to line up for Mrs. Wilkes Dining Room. The place opens at 11:00 a.m., but the line starts forming way before then. Once inside, you seat yourself at one of the tables for 10, which you share with strangers. There’s no real menu, but the offerings change daily. They just start bringing out home-style southern food that you share with your table-mates. Expect things like fried chicken and cornbread dressing, sweet potato souffle, black-eyed peas, okra gumbo, corn muffins and biscuits.
Once we had our fill of fried green tomatoes, we headed over to Wormsloe Historic Site. This place is a blogger’s dream because it is so damn picturesque. While you are there, you can visit the museum and see the colonial demonstration. There are also hiking opportunities.
Our next stop was to Bonaventure Cemetery, Savannah’s most famous cemetery. It is very old, but very serene in this old cemetery. If you read Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil (which I recommend you do before you visit Savannah), the cover photo featured the now-famous “Bird Girl” statue, which used to be located in this cemetery, but is now housed in the Telfair Museum of Art.
For dinner, we headed over to a.lure, a downtown Savannah restaurant. The whole menu looked good, and everything we ordered was great.
After dinner, we walked over to Leopold’s, another Savannah institution that has been serving up homemade ice cream for nearly 100 years! They are best known for their Tutti Frutti flavor, but I opted for lavender and honey almond and cream flavors.
Day 2:
We started our day with a hearty breakfast at B.Matthew’s Eatery. Make a reservation if you come here, because the place was packed. After trying the fried green tomato Benedict, I understood why. Their yogurt granola bowl was also great.
After breakfast, we had a full day of exploring ahead of us! When you think Savannah, think antebellum architecture, historic cobblestone squares, and Spanish moss. There are so many quaint little streets and shops to explore. Once you visit, you will understand why Savannah is chosen as the backdrop for so many movies. 
The Forrest Gump feather flew by this steeple at the beginning of the movie: 
If you love old, historic homes, then this is the town for you.

If you like to shop local, you will love Savannah. In addition to cute (but pricey) clothing boutiques and some great home decor stores (like The Paris Market and One Fish Two Fish), Savannah also has some pretty sweet selections.
If you like your chocolate fancy, then head over to Chocolat by Adan Turoni. The Honeycomb Chocolate Bar, won a food award by Southern Living Magazine, so if it is there, try it!
Speaking of honey, Savannah Bee Company is a honey specialty shop, selling different flavors of honey, honey spirits, honey candles, and honey beauty products.
They have a honey tasting bar:
For lunch, you could plan a picnic in Forsyth Park, but if you prefer a restaurant, try Treylor Park or their sister restaurant, Hitch. For dinner, make advance reservations for The Grey, Savannah’s new it-restaurant. The coolest thing about this place (other than the delicious food) is that it is a restored 1938 art deco Greyhound Bus Terminal.

Day 3:
After brunch, you can hit up some of the art museums around town or make it a beach day, and head to Tybee Island, just 20 minutes away! You can also schedule an afternoon tea. Whatever you choose, I am sure you will agree that three days was just the right amount of time to escape to this quaint, historic gem of a city before returning to real life!
I think you’d have to spend a month here just to get to all the great restaurants that are down here! Not to mention all the awesome shopping.
I think you are probably right! I left 5 pounds heavier and with a brand new chandelier! Thanks for reading this post and for your comment!
