Start your day at Clary's Cafe. It's a perfect Southern diner and breakfast spot. I used to come here every weekend in college and it's always my first stop when I visit Savannah. Get the biscuits and gravy.
Clary's Cafe
Now you gotta walk off those biscuits. Make sure to stroll through as many squares as you can on your way to Forsyth Park. At the very least, check out the closest ones: Taylor, Monterey, and Chatham. The squares are one of my favorite things about t...
Taylor Square → Monterey Square → Chatham Square
Wander around this huge historical park lined with giant trees with Spanish moss. There are two huge meadows on either side of the main path that runs right down the middle of the park from north to south. Obviously check out the famous fountain. It ...

Head over to Leopold's to cool down. There's a reason this is on every single travel list ever made about Savannah. It's very good ice cream. This place smells incredible too.
Leopold's Ice Cream
And if you need more sugar, this place is an experience. Must try the Georgia peach cream truffles. Everything is insanely good here.

Get happy hour drinks at this dive bar where Jimmy Carter stood on top of the bar and announced he was running for president. Meet some weird locals. Have a great time. Don't forget to ask for your last drink “to-go”. You're in the to-go cup zone.
The Original Pinkie Masters
Get dinner at Chef Mashama Bailey's spot called The Grey. There's a great episode of Chef's Table on Netflix about Mashama and how she creates inspired Southern cuisine with French technique.
The Grey
After dinner grab a cocktail or two in this hidden basement bar. Their cocktail list is insanely extensive and they make some seriously good drinks.
Alley Cat Lounge
Check out a drag show at the legendary Club One.
Club One
After all the bars are closed, head to the Waffle House on Abercorn for some late night drunk snacks. Get some hashbrowns scattered, smothered, and covered. A pecan waffle. A Texas patty melt. And put some money in the juke box.
Waffle House
Day 2 - Morning
Start your day here. Get your coffee or tea and walk around Chippewa Square and the neighborhood before heading to breakfast.

Come here for breakfast. Everything on the menu is great. Especially the grits, biscuits, gravy, French toast, croquettes, and crab cakes.

Graveface Records & Curiosities
Take a relaxing beer break at Two Tides and try some refreshing local beers in one of the chillest spaces in Savannah. This brewery specializes in “haze and funk” so if you're unsure about that, get a flight of 4 different beers to see what you like....
Two Tides Brewing Co.
Next, head over to The Lady Bookstore for air conditioning, old books, and cute cats.
The Book Lady Bookstore
Walk up Bull Street all the way to the waterfront at River Street. It's a bizarre mix of tourist traps and local spots, definitely worth checking out if you're a first-timer.
Savannah's Waterfront: River Street
Eat lunch at Vic's for some slightly upscale beige food with a view. I recommend the fried green tomatoes, oysters, caesar salad with anchovies, spicy fried shrimp, crawfish beignets, and pecan pie. This place is a fun vibe. Lot's of regulars. Someti...
Vic's On the River
Day 2 - Night
Attend a 7PM Savannah Bananas game and have the fucking time of your life. These tickets sell out quick, so you'll probably have to buy them from a reseller, but just bite the bullet and pay the $200 ticket price with the All-You-Can-Eat service and ...

Finally, go to The Rail and do some proper Congress Street drinking with the locals. Lots of other weird dives to check out on this street in the to-go cup zone.
