We're arriving on Friday evening, ready to spend the weekend in the low country. 

First thing's first: let's get checked in.

After you're all checked in, head just around the corner for dinner at The Public. Be ready to spend some time here — but don't worry, it's worth it.  And definitely don't skip the dessert.

Next, drop by my personal favorite spot in the park: the Garden of Fragrance. Whether you bring a book and want to sit for a while or enjoy the flowers, it's a gorgeous part of the city.

Keep heading south to the Forsyth Farmers' Market. You'll get to see tons of local vendors, and it's one of my favorite parts of Saturdays in Savannah. Enjoy the artists, local foods, and so much more.

This spot is also right around the corner from the DeSoto, so it's a great time to head to your room to freshen up, grab a nap, or whatever you need to do! 

Once you're ready to head back out, it's time to head to River Street. There's a ton to see here! 

Get a great view of River Street by heading up to the Myrtle & Rose Rooftop Bar. It's part of the JW Marriott Savannah Plant Riverside District and has delicious offerings.

I love Savannah Coffee Roasters, and I'm pretty sure it was my first coffee stop in Savannah. I usually stick with a latte here, but they've got a great dirty chai as well. Don't skip over the sweet treats case!
