ABOUT OUR COVER Cathedral of St. John the Baptist

By Wayne Chambers, Savannah Gallery of Art

Welcome to Savannah!

Standing on cobblestone avenues beneath an endless canopy of tow ering live oaks, it’s easy to see what all the fuss is about. Savannah’s stunning architec ture, quaint lanes and majestic flora have been enchanting visitors for generations in all seasons—add some twinkle lights and festive decorations and the effect is magical.

Whether you’re into good food, bar hopping, book-shop browsing, ghost stories, touring historic places or just taking in beauty all around you, Savannah’s got you covered. And, if it’s your Christmas list that’s on your mind, this is the perfect spot to find something amazing for every person on it.

In this issue of Savannah Scene, we take a ride through Savannah with Old Town Trolley Tours, visit City Market’s Signature Gallery, and expe rience a different side of the city with Savannah Riverboat Cruises. As always, our “Must Taste” dining guide features some of the city’s most prized dishes, and our Calendar of

Events keeps you in the know about what there is to do and see. Plus, discover the very best of Savannah’s offerings in our dining, shopping, and activities listings, and find even more great resources at savannah.com.

Also, if you’re looking for an unexpected change of scene, Tybee Island fits the bill. The easy 20-minute drive across sparkling marshes is a gateway to a very different world. There is a lot to do here, too— live music, fresh seafood, exploring the island on foot or by bike, and seeing historical sights like Georgia’s oldest and tallest lighthouse and Fort Pulaski National Monument!

We are so proud of Savannah’s one-of-a-kind mix of classic Southern charm and cosmo politan flair, and hope that you, too, will fall under the spell of one of America’s old est and most beautiful cities. On behalf of all of us at Savannah Scene, we wish you a safe and cozy holiday season, and a Happy New Year!

Southern Delights on the Savannah River

By Dani Ray

The two chefs in charge of food operations for Savannah Riverboat Cruises come from very different backgrounds.

Chef Jamie Carver has been in Savannah for 22 years and takes great pride in his Southern heritage. Chef Jay Cirincione hails from New York, spent many years traveling, and settled in a anna e years ago. But they are united in their fascination with Southern food. “It doesn’t get a lot of notice outside of the South,” says Cirincione. “But t e fla ors are t is ole ot er dynami .

Carver nods. “Traditional Southern cooking is slipping away, so I’m always looking for new ways to work the fundamentals into what we’re doing.”

And what are they doing, exactly? “Oh, we’re bringing it all to the table,” Carver says. “Shrimp and grits, mac and cheese, collard greens.” Cirincione pipes up. “Formal prime rib, which we cook in ovens from origi nal Mississippi riverboats.” And, adds Carver, “We’ve got the best fried chicken in town.” Cirincione agrees. “Travelers come down here looking for fried chicken that’ll blow their minds, and it does!”

Carver and Cirincione aren’t just serving up the classics, though. Real hospitality means feeding everyone, from vegetarian to gluten-free and everything in between. “This is an international town,” says Carver. “You never know what someone is going to want!”

a anna i er oat r ises de nitely offers something for everyone. They do sunset and sightseeing cruises, brunch and dinner cruises, even a Monday night Gospel Cruise! “That one’s my favorite,” says Carver. “These folks come from different churches around Savannah, and they’ve been singing together for 20 years.” But these big, beautiful boats don’t just host sightseers, they also hold weddings, corporate events, family reunions and more, with custom experiences and menus based on clients’ needs.

No matter the occasion, it’s Cirincione and Carver running the food part of the show for three tours a day, seven days a week. till t ey nd oy in eing on t e ri er. or Cirincione, “it’s the skies above the city at sunset. And on New Year's Eve and the 4th of July, we’ve got front row seats to the best show in town.” The old buildings and people-watching are what Carver enjoys the most. “Visitors get their cocktails and come down to look at the boat. There’s always a crowd to see us off, waving as we push off just one hundred feet from where Oglethorpe landed in the 1730s.”

Art In Savannah

Savannah’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 surprisingly 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 upperlevel 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.

Signature Gallery

oday, thirteen partners strive to continue this timely tradition by sharing in all aspects of running a successful art gallery!

Once again, Signature Gallery does not disappoint. The exqui site jewelry designs by SCAD alumni Kathryn Riechert and Scott Whitten are sure to please the most discriminating of tastes for their uniqueness and atten tion to detail. Kathryn’s pieces in enamel, sterling silver, and colorful gemstones identify with the whimsy in all of us. When it seems like she cannot come up with anything more enticing, she surprises us with new works of sophisticated elegance. One of her latest pieces, “Spread Joy,” was made to evoke happiness. These unusual earrings utilize Mojave Turquoise (a composite stone made from Arizona Kingman turquoise and spiny oyster shell) followed by the lower portion being Australian boulder opal doublets, which sparkle with pink and green tones. Always veering on the positive, Kathryn stamps most of her silver pieces on the reverse with insightful words of wisdom geared to inspire even the most cynical.

While it’s amazing to have just one exceptional silver and enam el artisan in a gallery, Signature does the impossible by having Scott Whitten permanently in residence as well. His jewelry art pieces, suitable for both feminine and masculine tem

The Gallery is proud to show off his newly designed rings, earrings, bracelets, and necklaces in 925 sterling silver and enamel. His etched bands are beautiful in their simple designs, which are suitable for any occasion. Incorporating together various shapes and textures with phenomenal color com binations, Scott’s jewelry works of art have clients continually asking for more.

Together with the introduction of Kathryn’s and Scott’s exceptional jewelry designs, their partner artists, Elizabeth Slocum and Olivia Beaumont, boast a selection of 2D original mediums that are also new to the Signature scene. Working with heavy acrylic paint, Elizabeth mixes color pigments to create vibrant paintings that draw the eye in with a 3D appeal that just beg to be touched. It’s hard to tear yourself away from these highly tactile pieces that work well with any décor.

Olivia’s adorable animals staged in oil paint and dressed in period costumes have always been a allery a orite t no t is ne art artist ta es things in another direction by introducing the same subject matter designed in the medium of gouache. Taking on an entirely different and softer tone, these new pieces are sure to leave many a Gallery visitor unsure as to which is their favorite.

Riding High in Savannah The View from an Old Town Trolley Tour

By Dani Ray

There’s no mistaking Savannah’s orange and green trolleys. A daytime fleet of roughly 50 vehicles carries 400,000 passengers per year to 15 stops around the city. You can’t miss them!

What a lot of people don’t know, says General Manager Garry Patrick, is that Old Town Trolley Tours Savannah is owned by the country’s largest privately held tour company, Historic Tours of America. “So not only are we deeply invested in Savannah’s history, we also have a vested interest in being part of a larger tapestry of nationwide storytelling. Our trolleys take people to treasured heritage landmarks in cities like Boston, Key West, Nashville, San Diego, St. Augustine and Washington D.C. When they arrive in Savannah, visitors have had great service in other cities and they know what they’re going to get.”

In general, that’s 90-minute tours fully narrated by 100% live, well-trained, highly entertaining guides. In Savannah, it’s three core offerings that help tell the story of the city: the daytime trolley tour, the Ghosts and Gravestones Tour, and the tour of the American Prohibition Museum. The perennially popular daytime trolley tour allows for unlimited hopping on and off all day long among more than 100 iconic area sites. Trolleys depart every 30 minutes, making it an excellent way to get around.

The Ghosts and Gravestones tour, says

Patrick, “is the premiere nightly event in Savannah.” 100,000 people opt to see the city’s spookier side every year, listening to stories you won’t hear during the day and experiencing famously haunted locales like the Andrew Low House. “It’s such a differ ent experience at night!”

Finally, there’s the Prohibition Museum, which showcases why Savannah was dubbed the “Bootleg Spigot of the South” and whose Speakeasy was labeled “One of the Hottest Bars in Savannah” by Zagat. Patrick nods. “It’s the only museum in the U.S. dedicated to the Prohibition Era and it’s like walking back in time. The bar staff are in tuxedos, the cocktails and musical entertainment are authentic to the period, it’s fascinating.”

No matter which tour you choose, you’re in good hands. Old Town Trolley has racked up over 8,000 reviews on TripAdvisor and was awarded a Travelers' Choice badge again in 2022. “It’s a great product, and the best way to see the city,” says Patrick. Luckily for locals, the company also offers a hometown pass (www.hometownpass. com) for free travel along with visiting friends and relatives. “We’ve been in Savan nah for more than 25 years now and we employ over 200 people. We’re one big family and we love entertaining guests!”

ARIES Everyone seems to love the transition from summer to fall, but fall to winter has fewer converts. Beware the usual signs of being affected by the seasons, and work against it the way you would any other ailment.

TAURUS What have you been sowing lately that you are hoping to reap? If your harvest keeps delaying, ask yourself: what is a key ingredient that may be missing?

GEMINI This month, consider at a fly on t e all o ld report about your habits. Do yo nd yo rsel doing t e rig t t ings just for show? In the era of social media, doing things just for ourselves is a simple but radical act of self care.

CANCER Whether it’s podcasts, books on tape, or music, we have endless content options. Do you curate your content or just listen to whatever is on? If the latter, have you considered how this might be affecting your state of mind?

LEO It’s tempting to spend your time dreaming of a bright and shiny tomorrow, but there really is no day t today. r ly t e present is the only place you ever really are. Don’t let it slip by in favor of something that doesn’t actually exist.

VIRGO You’ve been skirting the edges of a big project but you can’t stop thinking about it. What’s it going to take to get the ball rolling? Are you ready for the time commitment?

LIBRA Be extra careful this month about how you frame the people in your life for newer friends. If there’s something you wouldn’t dare say to someone’s face, are you sure you want to pass it along to someone you’re not sure you can trust?

SCORPIO You’re looking at something in black and white that really ought to be in color. Take a step back and try visualizing the whole spectrum of possibilities. You may be surprised to discover an entirely new piece of the puzzle!

SAGITTARIUS Perceiving judgment in others can drive you crazy, and yet you can’t stop yourself from doing the same. Fairness may have to be something you practice intentionally—it certainly doesn’t come naturally to all situations!

CAPRICORN No one denies this is a busy time, but this month you may nd yo rsel a sliding into t e air on re s enarios o yo r youth. Is it worth it? Where can you make modi ations t at ill s it yo r li estyle

AQUARIUS A dilemma has you feeling trapped. You may be feeling very unbalanced, and yet, you’re leaning more toward one way than the other. That’s your gut weighing in. So really, the question is: do you trust it?

PISCES With the holiday season about to kick off, you may be in need of a little pomp and circumstance. Where in your life can you add some sheen that will make the holiday season sparkle?

ARIES We like to make a big deal about how the New Year is a chance to start with a blank slate. But really, each day is another oppor tunity to be the best version of yourself. This month, consider what changes you might like to make in your life, and then work to implement them whenever you can. Don’t wait!

TAURUS You may have a surprising addition to your life just around the bend. No matter how you see it (as positive or negative), remind yourself that rolling with the punches is all you can really do.

GEMINI You have some fun up your sleeve this month, and why shouldn’t you? ‘Tis the season to be jolly. This month, the name of the game will be staying ahead of things so you can just enjoy it all.

CANCER We tend to think of wellness as a destination. More accurately, it’s a process. Ask yourself what wellness looks like to you. How would prioritizing it change your day-to-day life? This month, think on it.

LEO You may be searching for answers more than usual this month. When you’re really stuck, you may be tempted to ask others. A more productive tack might be to choose a friend who makes a good sounding board and then listen to yourself talk through your questions.

VIRGO Where is your head these days? If you’re feeling like you’re all over the place, it’s not just you. This month, as you wander around your abode with your morning cup, consider where in the house you feel most grounded, and then lean into that space.

LIBRA You’re not the only one feeling jealousy over other people’s trips. We all are. But when has there ever been a travel experience as perfect as what you “see” on social media? Stop with the comparisons. You have the power to plan a trip that is perfect for you. Do it.

SCORPIO If you still haven’t found a routine that works for your lifestyle, you may need to do some reverse engineering. After all, it’s got to be well-suited to you if it’s going to work! This month, get into it and see what you can come up with.

SAGITTARIUS You may have some items on your list that are doing an endless loop in your mind. This is your brain doing what it does best, holding on to the things you need. As soon as you complete that task, the cloud will be gone. Just do it, already!

CAPRICORN You have a wish dear to your heart that you’ve not spoken to anyone. Why is that? Are you afraid of judgment? That someone will laugh at you? Sometimes we need to say things aloud just to hear them. onsider o yo mig t on de in t at will help you understand your want.

AQUARIUS This month you may discover some of the secrets of those who are happiest during the holidays. How can you co-opt some of this energy and enthusiasm for yourself?

PISCES You may need a tech break, friend. Even those of us who aren’t glued to computers all day are probably getting way more screen time than we need. You don’t even know how destructive it can be until you’re sitting out in nature recovering from it! Cut back this month if you can.

Novisit to Savannah is complete without a visit to the city’s historic cemeteries, each of which serves as a final resting place for many of Savannah’s most fascinating residents. Every one of these cemeteries is situated amid incred ibly scenic surroundings.

Even if cemeteries give you goosebumps, you’ll be glad you stopped by to experience some of Savannah’s unique history firsthand.

Savannah’s HISTORIC Cemeteries

Bonaventure Cemetery

Immortalized 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 citi zens, including songwriter Johnny Mercer (1909-1976), poet Conrad Aiken (18891973) and plantation owner Noble Jones (1701-1775), one of Savannah’s original settlers 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.

Bonaventure was originally a 600-acre plantation, which was sold for $5,000 in 1846 to Savannah businessman Peter Wiltberger, who turned the land into a pub lic cemetery called Evergreen Cemetery. The City of Savannah purchased Evergreen Cemetery in 1907 and renamed it 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, nicknamed The Bird Girl, that once stood in the heart of Bonaventure Cemetery. The statue is currently on display at the Telfair Museum of Art.

HOW TO GETTHERE: Bonaventure is located just off Pennsylvania Ave. on Bonaventure Rd.

HOURS: Open daily from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Monument: Confederate Brigadier-General Alexander R. Lawton, Bonaventure Cemetery

Colonial Park Cemetery

Colonial Park Cemetery is the city’s only nonactive cemetery, meaning that no more burials take place on this historic plot of land, located at the corner of Abercorn St. and Oglethorpe Ave.

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, and their gravestones date back to the 1700s.

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 with in the cemetery’s wrought iron perimeter in the evening.

HOW TO GETTHERE: The main entrance is located at the corner of Abercorn St. and Oglethorpe Ave.

HOURS: Open daily from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.

Laurel GroveCemetery

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

Laurel Grove is divided into two distinct sections by a highway con nector. Laurel Grove North, perhaps 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 Waving Girl.

Laurel Grove South serves as the final resting place for many members of Savannah’s African American community. Many enslaved people, freedmen and even two African American Confederate veterans are buried in Laurel Grove South.

HOW TO GETTHERE: 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.

Unsettling stories of torture, suicide and war sulk in the shadows of homes and historic areas all around Georgia’s First City. Though much of the landscape has changed, a few things have not. Some say these things are spirits who won’t leave their places of tragedy, while others say peoples’ minds play tricks on them. If you’d like to find out for yourself, explore these supposedly supernatural squares in Savannah.

Madison Square

Just beyond Madison Square is the ground on which many lives were lost fighting during the Battle of Savannah. Before it was named after President James Madison, rumors of spirits and reports of paranormal activity surfaced. Some say a mass grave for dead soldiers lay in this very location, though there is no confirmation. Anchored by the statue of William Jasper, the square’s most common ghost has an eerie resemblance to the sculpture – a solid black shadow in the shape of a full-grown man.

THE HAUNTED SQUARES OF SAVANNAH

By Andrea Six

Perhaps even more unnerving is the fact that the Sorrel-Weed House – a home where Matilda Sorrel supposedly committed suicide, which has been investigated by Ghost Hunters and featured on HGTV’s If Walls Could Talk and Travel Channel’s The Most Terrifying Places in America – opens onto the square. Also notable is that the Green-Meldrim House is on this square, which was General Sherman’s Headquarters during the Civil War.

Reynolds Square

Yellow Fever’s devastation plagued the early days of Savannah, but just off Reynolds Square, there is rumored to have been a property where malaria patients were committed that included a makeshift crematorium. Legend says victims were wrapped in sheets and burned, right in the middle of what is now Reynolds Square, to keep the disease from spreading. Perhaps that’s why visitors’ photos of John Wesley’s monument feature strange apparitions in the background?

The apparition of James Habersham Jr. has been seen at The

Olde Pink House, which opens onto this square, as well as his grandson, who likes to order a beer at the basement bar. (Be careful in the basement, because invisible children have been known to play tricks on people down there.)

Wright Square

Today, Wright Square may be a beautifully shaded section of land where guests learn a little history and enjoy a snack from one of the nearby cafés, but it wasn’t always a place people wanted to visit. One of Savannah’s original squares, this site once held the gallows where many lives were taken.

Memorialized in Wright Square, Yamacraw Chief Tomochichi was buried here in 1739, but 100 years later, his grave was

Legend says victims of yellow fever were wrapped in sheets and burned, right in the middle of what is now Reynolds Square, to keep the disease from spreading.

desecrated by the city to make way for a monument to William Washington Gordon, a prominent politician and president of the Central Railroad and Banking Company. Does it come as a surprise that Tomochichi is still spotted centuries later?

However, it’s Alice Riley who has attracted the most attention. As the story goes, she traveled to Savannah in 1733 with her domineering husband and several Irish servants. One year later, her husband was found dead in their home – murder suspected. Alice and one of the servants, Richard White, were missing and when suspicion arose, they were sentenced to death. Though she maintained her innocence, ultimately both were hung and Alice was supposedly left on the gallows for three days.
