<\/p>\n

It\u2019s easy to fall in love exploring the southern United States. The warm welcome, endless sunshine, and downhome comfort food made me feel right at home from the moment I arrived.<\/p>\n

From Nashville to New Orleans, this region is one of the most underrated destinations in the country. As much as I loved it all, however, nowhere stole my heart quite like Savannah.<\/p>\n

With a rich history and otherworldly beauty, this coastal city with its cobblestoned streets is like nowhere else \u2014 and, ohhh, that food!<\/em><\/p>\n

Savannahians can be found cooking up a masterpiece seven days a week. The already amazing world of Southern food is on another level here.<\/p>\n

Drooling yet? Let\u2019s dig into this Savannah foodie guide.<\/h4>\n

Planning Tip<\/h2>\n

You absolutely need reservations for a few of these places. If you are traveling solo, they might be able to get you a spot at the bar \u2014 especially if you arrive during off-peak dining times.<\/p>\n

My best advice is to plan ahead and make reservations well in advance (some of these places book up at least 6 weeks out).<\/h4>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
