Sweet Dreams: Cheryl and Griffith Day have gained quite a following for their red velvet cupcakes, as well as old-world breads, scones, and puddings, at Back in the Day Bakery on Bull Street.
Tea Time: More than a dozen types of tea are steeped at the Gryphon Tea Room, housed in an early 1900s apothecary on Bull Street.

Holy Twin City!: Established in 1733, the port city was once the capital of Georgia and has a huge historic district set in an orderly grid of blocks and squares. Sights include many statues and fountains and the white-spired Cathedral of Saint John the Baptist at 22 East Harris Street.
Art Infused: Founded in 1978, Savannah College of Art and Design’s (SCAD) influence is omnipresent, with galleries, classrooms, and studios throughout the city.
