862 N High St • 614.725.5620 www.archcitytavern.com
Valter Veliu, originally from Fier, Albania, now resides in Upper Arlington with his wife and daughter. He enjoys cooking Mediterranean cuisine for family and friends. He is proud to have won the High Street Reader’s poll for “Best Pub on High.” A big Blue Jackets fan, Valter invites you to enjoy watching games with him on his large TV sets in his pub!
Matthew Wilson has been a fixture in the bar industry for years, having worked at Rigsby's before coming to Yavonne Sarber's FAB Dining Group. Wilson helped to open Olivers and had a hand in helping to develop the bourbon bar's cocktail menu, which is deliciously heavy on the brown liquor. "I really like our Raspberry Julep. You don't think of Juleps as a good patio cocktail, but this one really is!"
Jason is a proud Columbus native. Originally hailing from Pickerington, he slowly made his way to the Short North. Getting his start at Rigsby’s, Cameron picked up a few fun bartending tricks and techniques before making his way to Arch City, where he is now the manager. Cameron loves making perfect manhattans for his clientele, whom he describes as “diverse, loyal, and fun.”

A Yankee’s Guide to Savannah
HSNoct2014.pg30-31.qxp_OUTLOOK TEMPLATES 10/7/14 6:02 PM Page 1
By Aaron Leventhal
I was first drawn to Savannah by John Berendt’s bestselling novel, Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil. In this Deep South cultural oasis I discovered a historic city, founded in 1737, filled with architectural gems, world-class attractions, lowcountry cuisine and gracious Southern hospitality. Its reputation as a world-class tourism destination was underscored in July when Savannah was named among the “World’s Best Cities in the U.S. and Canada” by Travel+Leisure magazine. I have returned often, most recently with my wife Beth as the guests of Joe Marinelli, Beth’s former colleague at Experience Columbus and president of Visit Savannah for the past eight years.
is the debutante daughter -sophisticated and highbrow -- and we’re the quirky cousin -- laid back, edgy, real. We’re the authentic Southern city, where everything is built to human scale. We take pride in being America’s first planned city, with the largest historic district in the nation, covering 2 ½ square miles.
“We are a tourist magnet, attracting 13 million visitors last year, but we are so City Market, in the heart of Savannah’s Historic District much more. Our commercial port is one of the busiest along the Atlantic City Market dates back to the 1870s and is now filled seaboard.

It offers sandwiches, Listed below are the highlights of Joe Marinelli’s Savannah we experienced during our weeklong stay.
Attractions You don’t need a car here. The Historic District is where everything happens, and free streetcar service is available.

When Joe and I talked, he confessed it took him some time to accept that he would always be perceived by the locals as a Yankee, no matter how long he lived and worked in Savannah. Even so, he has grown to love the city. I asked Joe to compare Savannah to Charleston, his popular neighbor to the north. “I like to say Charleston
Begin your visit with the informative and entertaining Savannah Dan Walking Tour. Dan expertly guides folks on a 90-minute stroll through the historic district and magnificent public squares. An impressive collection of stately mansions, art galleries and cafes surround the square. Old Savannah Tours brings the historic city to life with costumed re-enactors aboard decorative trolleys.

seafood and steaks.
Historic cemeteries are popular landmarks, where Savannah’s unique history, scenic beauty and legendary residents are laid to rest. Guided tours are available at Bonaventure, Colonial and Laurel Grove cemeteries.
Museums are everywhere. Of note are the Telfair Museum of Art, with an impressive collection of American and European masterpieces; OwensThomas House and Museum, in a renowned 1816 English Regency Mansion with slave quarters and period furnishings; and the Ships of the Sea Museum, containing model ships, maritime exhibits, gardens and a nature trail. All museums have an admission fee. Dining Savannah is known for its lowcountry cuisine. Specialties include Southern fried chicken, barbecue, local fish and seafood, fried green tomatoes, collard greens, corn bread and banana pudding. There are dozens of outstanding restaurants, most with Low Country dishes on the menu, in the Historic District.

Some of Joe’s personal favorites include: B. Matthews Eatery, open for breakfast, lunch and dinner; The Lady & Sons, Paula Deen’s famous twostory restaurant with classic Southern cooking; 45 Bistro, fine dining in an original 1852 renovated building; and Olde Pink House, in an historic 1771 Georgian mansion, serving classic Southern dishes ranging from chicken pot pie and blackened grouper to sweet potato biscuits. Its intimate downstairs Planter’s Tavern is a locals’ hangout. Beth and I also enjoyed Mrs. Wilke’s Dining Room for family style Southern cooking, a Savannah icon; Olympia Café for Greek specialties along River Street, and Leopold’s Ice Cream, since 1919, voted “best ice cream” by National Geographic readers.
Where to Stay Our choice is River Street Inn (800-2534229; riverstreetinn.com), a cozy, 86 room inn in an original 1817 cotton warehouse overlooking the busy harbor and Savannah River. It houses Huey’s New Orleans Café and serves complimentary afternoon wine and hors d’oeuvers. 2015 Savannah Festivals Savannah Music Festival, March 19 – April 4 Savannah VOICE Festival, August Savannah Film Festival, October/November Savannah Food and Wine Festival, November

Tybee Island
Any visit to Savannah should include a few days of relaxation on tranquil Tybee Island, 18 miles to the east. The retro, historic resort stretches three miles along the Atlantic Ocean. Magically, it has been spared big time development and has retained a 1950s ambience that we found refreshing. We spent lazy days reading, soaking up sunshine, shopping in funky old sea shacks and strolling on the three sandy public beaches. Rent a bike at Jason’s Flat Tire Bikes and you can get any place on the island in less than 30 minutes.
We also explored the seashore and its inhabitants with marine biologist, Dr. Joe Richardson (912-596-5362), and viewed dozens of spirited dolphins on Captain Mike’s Dolphin Tours (912786-5848). We also took a fascinating four-hour kayak tour (932-695-2305) through the subtropical marshes.
We dined on outdoor decks and patios overlooking the ocean, never tiring of freshly caught fish, clams and crab at Coco’s Sunset Grill, A-J’s Dockside and Marlin Monroe’s Surfside Grill.
Where to Stay The historic DeSoto Beach Hotel (877-786-4542) with its sandy oceanfront beach and swimming pool is tops. It also has five other properties to choose from. Another choice is to rent a furnished home through Mermaid Cottages (912-786-5918). Its owner, Diane Kaufman, is a former Columbusite.
