Savannah, Georgia

We went on the First Squares Good Tour (www.savannahtasteexperience.com).

The guide was awesome but we wished there had been one more stop with some savory food. Other than that it was excellent. My favorite was Mabel Francis Potter's Cupcake Emporium. Excellent taste, no frills.

Other stops: Bernie's Oyster House, Boar's Head Grill, Savannah Bee Company, The Salt Table and Molly MacPhersons's Pub.
