In 1790, following the American Revolution and independence from England, Savannah officially formed its city government. Celebrating that heritage, the 17Hundred90 Restaurant and Inn stands apart as one of Savannah’s oldest establishments, offering fine dining and comfortable lodging to visitors from near and far.

The restaurant and inn are housed in what were originally three separate residences. The inn has 14 comfortable rooms, each with king or queen sized beds, a private bath, a growing collection of antiques and ghosts waiting to tuck you in at night. In fact, some of Savannah’s most legendary ghost stories are set at 17Hundred90. The city’s most famous specter, Anna, is said to haunt the inn to this day. It’s no wonder CNN has named 17Hundred90 one of Savannah’s favorite haunted spots.

History infuses every square inch of the inn. The western part of the building was built as a duplex between 1821 and 1823 by Steel White; the smaller eastern section was built by the Powers family in 1888. The ground level, with its slate floor and brick walls, is thought to date from a previous structure, possibly destroyed in the great Savannah fire of 1820. Original wood shingles are visible in the attic and wooden pegs and wedges holding beams in place can be found throughout the building.

The three-story Guest House, which is located on nearby York Street, was built in 1875 and provides an intimate escape in the heart of Savannah’s National Historic Landmark District. A Norwegian shipbuilder who lived there in the 1890s is believed to have hand-painted the parlor ceilings to help cover the cost of rent.

However, 17Hundred90 has the long tradition

of fine dining and tasty drinks. Fresh seafood, carefully prepared steaks, lamb, chicken and Southern vegetables are paired with fine wines and

expertly mixed cocktails to make a delightful dining experience.

The restaurant is tastefully decorated in an old Southern tradition, from the perfectly restored fireplaces to the historic brick floors throughout. The dining area seats a maximum of 100 patrons, yet still maintains a cozy and inviting environment. At 17Hundred90, diners are guaranteed exceptional entrées, professional service and an elegant setting for an evening out.

17Hundred90 has been a tradition in Savannah for more than a century and has been named “the most elegant restaurant in Savannah” by Gourmet magazine. A visit to the restaurant at 17Hundred90 will serve as a highlight of any stay in the historic city of Savannah.

In addition to the inn and the restaurant, 17Hundred90 also offers a wonderful neighborhood pub in the finest tradition. The Lounge at 17Hundred90, a favorite haunt for locals and visitors, features an exceptional wine selection and experienced bartenders.

Georgia Trend magazine singled out the restaurant and lounge as a favorite spot for “financiers, business people and professionals.” The Lounge at 17Hundred90 has served as an oasis from the hustle and bustle of this port city, providing a place for friends new and old to mingle.

Whether you stay, dine or drink at 17Hundred90, you’ll experience Savannah’s legendary Southern hospitality and make memories to last a lifetime!

Art In SavannahSavannah’s quality of life is unrivaled by any comparably-sized city in the South. In fact, part of the appeal of Georgia’s First City lies in its surpris-ingly rich array of cultural offerings from the visual arts to live music.

Savannah is home to more than 40 galleries, the oldest art museum in the South and the Savannah College of Art and Design. Literally thousands of artists, including students and professionals, flock to this City with its history of strong support for the arts. The relationship between Savannah and its creative residents is reciprocal: not only has the city supported its artists, but its artists have played a key role in the city’s continued growth and vitality.

Just a quick elevator ride to the upper level studios in the Franklin Ward North and Franklin Ward South Buildings in Historic City Market is where you will discover a wide variety of original art. Take the time to explore the area and visit with more than 50 artists as they bring the “Art of Savannah” to life - all of which is as unique as the City itself.

Savannah Taste Experience offers a delicious way to explore Savannah.

With two distinct culinary tours, Savannah Taste Experience brings the city’s signature cuisine to life. The city’s only tour company dedicated to tasty culinary adventures, Savannah Taste Experience offers a mouthwatering alternative to traditional tours.

“Savannah is such a delicious town with a ton of history,” raves Stu Card, co-founder of Savannah Taste Experience. “In fact, a lot of the history of Savannah can be told through its food. Our philosophy is to bring that to life by taking guests in small groups to incredible food locations that help locals and tourists discover the culinary identity of the Hostess City.”

The company offers two three-hour, 1.5 mile walking tasting tours, each of which shares the unique history, flavors and stories of Savannah. Tours include architectural commentary, historical facts, local culture, custom and culinary knowledge as part of a fun, exciting and distinctive experience. All food and non-alcoholic beverages are included in the ticket price and are provided by local eateries and specialty food shops. Adult beverages can be purchased separately and taken with you as you walk around town.

The First Square Food Tour lets guests taste their way from the city’s savory riverfront through bites on historic Savannah’s original squares, exploring seven unique culinary treasures. Highlights include stops at Rocks on the River, Tondee’s Tavern and Savannah Bee Company. Food tastings are included in the ticket price of this flagship tour, providing enough food for lunch. This tour route is offered every day. Please check the web site or call for availability.

The Famous and Secret Eastside Food Tour showcases restaurant delicacies available exclusively for this tour.

Explore Savannah’s east side and hear fascinating stories about the city’s remarkable rebirth. Highlights include stops at Wall’s BBQ, Zunzi’s and The Pirates’ House. Food tastings are included in the ticket price, which includes enough for lunch. This tour route is only offered Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday, so please check the web site or call for availability.

Special accommodations can be made in advance for vegetarians or guests with special dietary needs. Book early, as Savannah Taste Experiences tours tend to sell out. Private tours are also available for larger groups.

Savannah Taste Experience was born when two brothers, Stu and Donald Card, noticed that even many locals weren’t sure where to find Savannah’s best food. With culinary travel growing in popularity, the company became a great way to connect travelers with the city’s signature cuisine as part of fun, informative, entertaining city tours. From Lowcountry favorites like fried oysters and shrimp ‘n’ grits to world-famous cupcakes made from scratch, Savannah Taste Experience offers a wide range of culinary delights for travelers of all ages.

“Knowing where and what to eat in Savannah is easy and fun with Savannah Taste Experience,” Stu explains. “Seeing Savannah through its unique food, history and folklore is the best way to have an experience you'll remember and cherish forever.”

CALENDAR

FEDERALThe Federal style is depicted by prominent square or rectangular exteriors with slender curved iron stair railings and Palladian or Venetian windows. Savannah example: The Davenport House

GEORGIANThe Georgian style is depicted by symmet rical square facades with hipped roofs. Chimneys are built on the ends and quoins often adorn the corners. Savannah example: The Olde Pink House Restaurant

GOTHIC REVIVALThe Gothic Revival style is depict ed by crafted details on pinnacles, chimneys and large welcoming entry hall ways. Often used on churches of the period. Savannah example: Temple Mickve Israel

GREEK REVIVALThe Greek Revival style is depicted by gabled portico or temple facade of one or two stories with columns of the Greek Doric or Iconic orders. Con struction is post and beam,

and roofs are designed with slopes and may be disguised behind heavy cornices and parapets. Savannah example: First Baptist Church

ITALIANATEThe Italianate style was inspired by the farm houses of northern Italy and is depicted by low garbled roofs with wide overhanging eaves supported by decorative brackets, and

entrance towers and roundhead windows with hood moldings. Most examples also feature castiron fronts and detailed entrances. Savannah example: Mercer House

REGENCYThe Regency style is depict ed by triangular pediments, semicircular stairs, articulated win dow

openings, ionic columns and clas sical alcove entrance ways. Savannah example: Telfair Museum of Art

ROMANESQUE REVIVALThe Romanesque Revival style is depicted by arch and dome construction, Corinthian column capi tols and roof balustrades. Savannah example: The Cotton Exchange

SECOND FRENCH EMPIREThe Second French Empire style emphasizes pic tur esque vertical accents on building tops like chimneys and corner pinnacles. Also featured are tur rets and domes reminiscent of French Renaissance architecture in the seventeenth century. Savannah example: HamiltonTurner House

In a study published by the Savannah Historic Foundation, one of the most admired preservation groups in the country, more than 40 percent of 2,500 buildings inventoried in Savannah had archi tectural or historical significance. Most restoration has been accomplished by individuals – one building at a time. With the addition of the Savannah College of Art and Design in the late 1970s, historic preservation and restoration flourished. From the simple Colonial style to the intricate Medievalinfluenced cathedrals, to the gingerbread accents of the Victorian period; examples of most, if not all, of the nation’s 18th and 19th century prevailing architectural styles can be found in Savannah.

FACTOR’S WALK SHOPPING


Did You Know?While the Spanish moss that hangs from Savannah's majestic oaks is a true reminder that you are in the romantic South, it does not make a great souvenir. Undetectable by the naked eye, small biting bugs called Chig-gers make Spanish moss their home. During the early days of the Colony, residents often stuffed and bound their mattresses with the soft and bountiful moss, only to wake up irritated and itchy after the tiny bugs invaded their slumber.

Y’all! Saints and Shamrock’s has been serving Savannah for 20 years! We are proud to be on the famous St. Patrick’s Day Parade Route in beautiful downtown Savannah.

No visit to Savannah is com plete with out a visit to the city’s historic ceme teries, each of which serves as a final resting place for many of Savannah’s most fasci nat ing residents. Each of these ceme teries is situated amid incred ibly scenic surroundings.

Even if ceme teries give you goose bumps, you’ll be glad you stopped by to experience some of Savannah’s unique history firsthand. Just don’t stay too long!

BONAVENTURE CEMETERYImmortalized by John Berendt in his bestseller Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil, Bonaventure is the final resting place for many of Savannah’s most prominent citizens includ ing song writer Johnny Mercer (1909-1976), poet Conrad Aiken (1889-1973) and plantation owner Noble Jones (1701-1775), one of Savannah’s original set tlers who colonized the city with General James Oglethorpe in 1733. Located along the scenic banks of the Wilmington River, Bonaventure Cemetery also features group burials for the American Legion Field, the Confederate States of America, the Order of Railroad Conductors and the veterans of the Spanish-American War.

Originally a 600-acre plantation, Bonaventure was sold for $5,000 in 1846 to Savannah business man Peter Wiltberger, who turned the land into a public cemetery called Evergreen Cemetery. The City of Savannah purchased Evergreen Cemetery in 1907 and turned it into Bonaventure Cemetery.

Savannah photographer Jack Leigh captured the image that graces the cover of Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil — a burial statue, nick-named “The Bird Girl,” that once stood in the heart of Bonaventure Cemetery. The “Bird Girl” statue is current ly on display at the Telfair Museum of Art.HOW TO GET THERE: Bonaventure is located just off Pennsylvania Avenue on Bonaventure Road.HOURS: Open daily from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

COLONIAL PARK CEMETERYColonial Park Cemetery is the city’s only non-active cemetery, meaning that no more burials take place on this historic plot of land, located at the corner of Abercorn Street and Oglethorpe Avenue.

Walk through the graceful arch erected by the Daughters of the American Revolution and you will discover a window into Savannah’s rich past. Many of Savannah’s earliest settlers are buried in Colonial Park, whose gravestones date back to the 1700’s.

Today, Colonial Park Cemetery serves as a park for many Savannah residents. Many Savannahians stroll through the cemetery in the early morning or walk their dogs within the ceme-

tery’s wrought iron perimeter in the evening. HOW TO GET THERE: The main entrance is located at the corner of Abercorn Street and Oglethorpe Avenue.HOURS: Open daily from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.

LAUREL GROVE CEMETERYEstablished in 1852, Laurel Grove Cemetery has thousands of graves that reflect Savannah’s rich his tory, situated amid groves of live oak, magnolia and dogwood trees. This contemplative site, which features ornate ironwork and mag nificent statuary on many of the lots, was once called Springfield Plantation.

Laurel Grove is divided into two distinct sections, by a highway connector. Laurel Grove North, per-haps the better-known part of the cemetery, is the burial place of hundreds of Confederate soldiers as well as prominent citizens like Juliette Gordon Low, the founder of the Girl Scouts, and Florence Martus, Savannah’s “The Waving Girl.”

Laurel Grove South serves as the final resting place for many members of Savannah’s African-American community. Many slaves, freedmen and even two African-American Confederate veterans are buried in Laurel Grove South.HOW TO GET THERE: Laurel Grove Cemetery is best accessed from Martin Luther King, Jr. Blvd. Turn right onto Anderson Street and the main gate will be straight ahead.HOURS: Open daily from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
