HISTORIC DISTRICT. Arguably Savannah's best restaurant, this award-winning grande dame gets lots of attention from foodies and has been the recipient of many culinary awards. The menu updates Southern fare, making abundant use of fresh seafood and items like black-eyed peas, grits, okra, pecans, and the like. The salads even feature home-grown herbs. A terrific wine list complements the cuisine beautifully, and 7-course tasting menus are available if you'd like to give yourself over to the chef's expertise. The stunning mansion that houses Elizabeth is gorgeous inside too, made even more beautiful with candelight and crackling fires.

HISTORIC DISTRICT. Schedule your travel plans for this event early! The city swells with over 500,000 celebrants, and many folks extend their St. Paddy's Day stays to include even more time in Savannah. The Irish would be proud of the party place that the town becomes! [N.B. In 2008, the event is scheduled for the Friday before the traditional St. Patrick's Day to avoid conflicting with Holy Week leading up to Easter on March 23.]

RIVERFRONT. Great breakfasts, with delicious Southern and New Orleans flair, are a staple here and include dishes like eggs sardou, Creole omelets, pain perdue, and simply awesome beignets and coffee. Lunch and dinner options include fried catfish, filé gumbo, po' boys, crawfish etouffée, fried green tomatoes, and shrimp and grits. Desserts are well worth the calories, especially praline cheesecake and the bread pudding special, which changes daily.

HISTORIC DISTRICT. A long-lived Savannah tradition, the original City Market opened in 1755 as a fish, game, and produce market. Although the historic structure no longer stands, the Historical Savannah Foundation constructed a new market on the same property. Today, this charming town center houses art galleries, specialty shops, restaurants, pubs, and cafes. A number of trolley and carriage tours also start here. On weekends, live bands frequently entertain in the courtyards.

HISTORIC DISTRICT. A tiered, cast-iron fountain is the focal point of this lovely 30-acre park. The fountain, purchased from France in 1851, was also featured in the movie Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil. Forsyth Park itself is a great place to take a walk, snap a few photos, or have a picnic. If the weather is nice, you'll see people playing frisbee or rugby all around. Also available: a pleasant playground for the kids.

RIVERFRONT. Unmistakably Irish, this terrific pub feels right at home in its historic building. Beneath beamed ceilings and amid brick walls, art, and memorabilia, patrons treat themselves to cigars, single malt scotches, and great beers. The pub even has Guinness and Harp on tap, perfectly setting the authentic tone! Sit upstairs to view ships going by and to catch sight of passers-by on River Street. To keep the authenticity going, Kevin Barry's presents live Irish music nightly at 8:30pm.
