Savannah (from Atlanta)

Four hours southeast of Atlanta, Savannah is a city that moves at the speed of Spanish moss growing on live oaks. The Historic District has 22 park-like squares designed by James Oglethorpe in 1733, and they still work perfectly as outdoor living rooms. River Street has the tourist energy, but wander to Forsyth Park and the Victorian District for the real Savannah. Mrs. Wilkes' Dining Room serves family-style Southern food that makes you rethink every meal you've ever eaten. The whole city feels like a novel you don't want to end.
