Even with limited time in Savannah, River Street was high on my list--and it absolutely lived up to…read morethe hype. This beautiful one-way cobblestone street, dating back to the Civil War era, runs right along the river and feels like a step back in time. It immediately reminded me a bit of the Embarcadero in San Francisco, with the riverboats, waterfront views, and lively energy--but with a distinctly Southern charm all its own. Because of the historic cobblestones, you can't drive fast here, which is actually part of the magic. It naturally slows you down and encourages you to take your time, look around, and soak in the scenery. There's so much to see--bars, restaurants, shops, hotels, and those iconic riverboats passing by--that every few steps feels like another photo opportunity. The atmosphere is vibrant but relaxed, and it's the kind of place where you can easily spend hours wandering, people-watching, and exploring. Unfortunately, I didn't have nearly enough time to do it justice on this visit, but what I experienced definitely whet my appetite and sparked my curiosity to come back. Bottom line: River Street is a must-see when visiting Savannah. It's historic, scenic, and full of personality--and it's best enjoyed slowly, one cobblestone step at a time.

For the Icecream they actually serve it in to-go Chinese containers. So cute haha. While walking around I found the most amazing little print and a mood ring. We explored around and found that they have a nice space for creating jewelry and I'm sure they also do fun classes here. In the very back is a small game room. Our kids both won something. It was super fun to explore. Would highly recommend.

I had just arrived in Savannah for a long weekend and was heading to Starland for dinner so the…read morealgorithm was algorithming and showing me stuff nearby. I saw some posts of some controversy negatively affecting this local business and it looked like a cool place so we thought we would start our evening off there to support. It's definitely strange and bazaar with fun and unique offerings making it the perfect place to find a quirky gift for that perfect someone. I loved some of the shirts, but they were all tiny sizes... they said they were getting more in. I was hoping to check out the mini art print machine but it was out of order on my visit. Maybe next time will be more fruitful as it looks like a place that gets new merchandise all the time. Plus they have ice cream up front. Definitely check this place out if you're in the Starland area.

The styling, layering of products, and overall mix of items was so well done. Very boutique in the best way. As a gay man, I can confidently say the millennial gays and girls will LOVE this place. It has that effortlessly curated feel without being too pretentious. They also carry great brands like Curated Basics, which is one of our fav stops when we're at the Chelsea Market in NYC. My partner's exact review was basically: "This place is amazing. My favorite in Savannah. And everything you want in a Saturday afternoon boutique shop." Honestly... accurate.

Jordan and I love coming here when the city is full of energy, and St. Patrick's weekend definitely brings that. The whole area was packed with people, music, and everyone dressed in green just enjoying the festivities. Bars were lively, drinks were flowing, and the atmosphere felt like one big outdoor party. It's one of those places where you can just walk around, pop into different spots, grab a drink, and enjoy the crowd. Of course, with the holiday crowd it gets very busy, but that's honestly part of the fun. If you're looking to experience Savannah during St. Patrick's, City Market is definitely one of the best places to soak in the celebration. Jordan and I had a great time and it's always a memorable way to celebrate the holiday in Savannah.

The shop is run by two lovely ladies who are not only incredibly knowledgeable about tea but also entertaining and friendly.
