Just two guys who decided to turn a wine bar into a restaurant in the middle of one of the most competitive food cities in the South. “Who does that?” Ryan Ribiero laughs when I float the idea of the angle. “It’s very hard to do.” Exactly. Sobremesa was never supposed to be what it […]

There are bars in Savannah that announce themselves loudly. Neon. Crowds spilling onto the sidewalk. A sense that you are supposed to be there because everyone else already is. And then there are places like Black Rabbit, sitting just off the main current, doing the work patiently, night after night, without ever asking for permission […]

There is something about FARM that makes it feel closer than it is. Not geographically, but emotionally. The bridge barely registers. It gets spoken about the same way you talk about a neighborhood restaurant, the kind of place that feels stitched into your own routine. That is strange, if you stop and think about it. […]

A Conversation with Mona Bozorgi on Showing Up, Staying Consistent, and Making Work That Matters Mona Bozorgi’s Exhibition Strain and Strand, currently on view at the SCAD Museum of Art, runs through May 17.

Savannah is finally stepping into its culinary confidence. And sometimes the next level does not arrive with a grand opening or a ribbon cutting. Sometimes it shows up in a second floor apartment with fifteen courses, a perfectly timed playlist, a nd two chefs who refuse to compromise. That is punk rock fine dining. And […]

Yes, there were great restaurants. Long before national attention arrived, locals knew the quiet magic of places like Elizabeth on 37th and The Olde Pink House. They carried Savannah’s reputation for hospitality with pride. Elegant dining rooms, polished service, and food that generations of Savannahians grew up celebrating. But something else happened in 2014. A […]

The drive to Tybee has a way of loosening your shoulders. Somewhere after the marsh opens up and, the city noise fades. You start thinking differently. Shoes feel optional. Time slows down. By the time you turn onto Van Horne Avenue, you are already in a different headspace. That is part of the point. For […]

Annie Coleman and Flora & Fauna are the perfect fit. There is a particular calm that settles over Bull Street in the morning. Before the neighborhood fully wakes up, before the coffee lines and sidewalk conversations, there is the smell. Butter. Yeast. Heat. It drifts out of Flora and Fauna in a way that feels […]

Every city has a few things you cannot Google your way into. You hear about them from someone leaning in across a bar. Someone who lowers their voice just enough to make it feel earned. In Savannah, one of those things is a drink that does not appear on a menu. It lives at 1790, […]

Savannah Music Festival Is Back, And It’s Everywhere There’s a certain feeling that hits right before something begins. Not loud, not obvious. Just a shift in the air. In Savannah, that feeling shows up this time of year when the stages start waking up, when soundchecks echo through historic rooms, and when the Savannah Music […]

Some restaurants use fire like a prop. A flash of flame. A moment for the room to look up. A reminder that something primal is happening somewhere behind the pass. Here, the fire does not perform. It works. You notice it because it will not let you ignore it. The hearth sits at the center […]

The camera belonged to Jonathan Sage’s father. Jonathan found it while cleaning out a closet years after moving to Savannah. A Pentax K1000 from the late 1970s. Fully mechanical. Heavy in the hand. The kind of camera that does not guide you or correct you. It waits. It demands attention. And if you rush it, […]

Savannah is not trying to decide what it is anymore. That question is settled. It is not chasing polish, and it is not clinging to grit. It is not choosing between elegance and chaos. It wants both, and it wants them close enough that you can move between them without thinking about it. That instinct […]

Good coffee and observation. Though I write in cafes for simple reasons, serendipity abounds. Pop by Flora and Fauna sometime, my new favorite haunt. You just might spot me posted in a corner, head phones on, ticky tapping away. But believe you me, I see the face you make at that first sip melting away […]
