We absolutely love Savannah. Our road trip guidebook says that it’s a great walking city. It was spot on. There are 21 ½ (we never found the ½) lovely tree filled squares in the downtown historic area where we were staying, all within a square mile of each other. Each square had its own unique personality. It was a joy to walk around, and take in the nuances of each square.
It was pretty hot walking around. So after battling the heat for a day, we decided to enlist the help of a couple of horses and went on a carriage ride through the downtown area. It was a perfect setting as we clip clopped down red brick streets with plantation era mansions and live oak trees covered in moss all around us. For some parts of the tour, it almost felt like we were transported to the 1800s and all we needed to do was to be dressed for the period.
For one particular lunch, it did feel like we were back in the old South – at least to our stomach. We stopped at Mrs. Wilkes, a restaurant famous for its traditional southern cooking. We had classics such as fried chicken, BBQ pork, collard greens, po-beans, black eyed peas, and many more side dishes. We washed it all down with delicious sweet ice tea. Everything was outstanding, and we would highly recommend this restaurant.
