Kick Off Your Morning at Collins Quarter
Start your day in true Savannah style at Collins Quarter, one of the city’s most beloved brunch destinations. With two convenient locations—one downtown on Bull Street and another right beside Forsyth Park—this café is the perfect place to sip, savor, and soak up Savannah’s easygoing charm. Enjoy a craft cocktail or latte while indulging in favorites like the O.G. Breakfast Sandwich, smashed avocado toast, or their signature Swine Time Beni. Whether you choose the lush park setting or the lively downtown vibe, Collins Quarter sets the tone for an unforgettable day in the Hostess City.
Shop and Sip Along Broughton Street
After brunch, head downtown to Broughton Street, the beating heart of Savannah’s shopping and social scene. Lined with boutiques, galleries, and local favorites, this stretch offers everything from fashion finds to artisan gifts. Beat the crowds by starting early, then unwind with a cocktail or cold brew at one of the street’s many bars and cafés. You’re in Savannah—day drinking is practically a tradition. If time allows, wander deeper into the Historic District, where every square hides something new to discover.
Refuel with Lunch at Treylor Park or Hitch
When the shopping bags start piling up, it’s time for a break. Head to Treylor Park or its sister location, Hitch, for inventive comfort food in a laid-back, locally loved atmosphere. Their playful takes on Southern favorites—like PB&J Chicken Wings, Avocado Fries, and the Treylor Park Nachos—make lunch an event of its own. Pair your meal with a craft beer or cocktail and enjoy a little downtime before your next adventure.
Laugh and Learn on the Savannah for Morons Tour
Savannah is one of the oldest and quirkiest cities in America, and Savannah for Morons proves that history doesn’t have to be boring. This interactive comedy tour roasts nearly 300 years of local lore in a 90-minute whirlwind of humor, history, and Savannah sass. Hosted aboard a trolley with stops for refreshments (including a break at McDonough’s Lounge), it’s part improv show, part sightseeing, and entirely unforgettable. It’s the best way to get a dose of history—without feeling like you’re back in school.
Step Back in Time at the American Prohibition Museum
Located in the heart of City Market, the American Prohibition Museum offers a fascinating look at America’s love-hate relationship with alcohol. This immersive museum features guided tours, authentic exhibits, and even a working speakeasy serving handcrafted 1920s-inspired cocktails. Step inside Congress Street Up after your tour and enjoy a classic Old Fashioned, Sidecar, or Bee’s Knees while imagining Savannah’s roaring past. It’s history served neat.
Dine Like a Buccaneer at The Pirates’ House
You’re attending an opera about pirates—so dinner at The Pirates’ House is practically mandatory. Established in the 1750s, this iconic tavern once served real sailors and privateers along the Savannah River. Today, it’s a cornerstone of local dining, known for dishes like She-Crab Soup, Lowcountry Boil, and Shrimp and Grits. The candlelit atmosphere and maritime décor make it the perfect prelude to Moon River Opera’s The Pirates of Penzance.
Experience The Pirates of Penzance with Moon River Opera
When the curtain rises, prepare for music, laughter, and swashbuckling fun. Moon River Opera brings Gilbert and Sullivan’s The Pirates of Penzance to life with bold voices, lush staging, and a playful spirit that captures the heart of Savannah’s creative soul. It’s a night of art, humor, and adventure you won’t soon forget.
Cap the Night at Better Than Sex
After the final encore, continue the evening with dessert and cocktails at Better Than Sex, Savannah’s most decadent after-dinner experience. From the cheekily named Sexpresso-Tini to the unforgettable Between My Red Velvet Sheets Cheesecake, every bite and sip delivers indulgence in full measure. The dim lighting, velvet seating, and sultry atmosphere make it the perfect final act to your operatic night on the town.
Recover the Next Morning at Clary’s Café
Should you need a little help recovering from last night’s revelry, there’s only one place to go: Clary’s Café. This beloved local diner has been a Savannah institution for decades, serving hearty Southern breakfasts that cure all ills. The legendary Elvis French Toast—stuffed with peanut butter and bananas, sometimes deep-fried if you ask nicely—will set you right again. Pair it with strong coffee, and you’ll be ready to explore Savannah all over again.
