Savannah Black Heritage Festival

February 1st, 2011 by Cami Nicole

When the Gullah people settled in the lowcountry in the 1700s, I bet they never imagined their influence would carry all the way into the 21st century, but The Savannah Black Heritage Festival is in its 22nd year and definitely keeping the culture alive.  The Gullah cherished storytelling, cuisine, music, folklore, and crafts, which can all be found at the fest, running February 1st through the 13th:

Savannah’s Sugar Daddy

January 26th, 2011 by Cami Nicole

No, I’m not talking about a rich old man taking care of Savannah; I’m talking about Sugar Daddy’s, a chic restaurant on Jefferson near Broughton:

Kolin (Azalea’s tasty chef, as well as [did I mention?] my husband) and I decided to check Sugar Daddy’s out the other night.  I dig the look and feel of the place with local art on the walls and familiar jazz coming from the speakers.  As a lover of all things bubbly, I jumped on the inexpensive champagne flight:

Yes, please! Can I have 6 more?!

I enjoyed it:

(maybe a little too much?)

…and Kolin did as well:

He's a bit more classy than I am when it comes to the bubbly.

We started with bread and cheese, as well as the Ciabatta Margherita:

So far, so delicious.

For our main courses, Kolin chose the special that night, sun-dried tomato pesto-topped Marlin with asparagus and mashed sweet potatoes:

And I went with the Duck Confit Panini and mini side salad:

While the meal started with a tasty bang, the main courses left us a bit disappointed as they were both overcooked.  Thankfully, there’s always room for cheescake:

Mmmmmm.

So, what’s my advice for you, avid Savannah tourist?  Definitely make a stop at Sugar Daddy’s for drinks, appetizers, and dessert to spice up a week night.

Savannah’s Own Lady Chablis

January 24th, 2011 by Cami Nicole

If you’re familiar with Savannah, you’re familiar with the book and/or movie Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil: the story of Jim Williams weaved with love, lust, and murder in our historic city. In the thick of MGGE is The Lady Chablis Deveau, a woman with a filthy mouth and a secret truth. We recently got to meet The Lady:

She was very sweet, despite her on-stage persona.

…and get a brief taste of the shows she puts on at Club One monthly:

Doing her thang!

Singing.

Working the crowd.

Collecting tips.

While The Lady is only there once or twice a month, Club One has multiple drag shows weekly: 11:30 pm Thursdays, and 10:30 pm and 12:30 am Fridays and Saturdays.

And if you missed The Lady while she was in town on the 22nd, don’t fret, she’ll return: February 19th, March 12th and 17th (for St. Patty’s Day, of course), April 9th and 30th, May 21st, June 25th, July 23rd, August 13th, September 9th, October 8th, November 5th and 26th, and December 17th.  All dates (except September 9th), she’ll have shows at 8 and 10:30 pm.

And if you can’t catch any of her shows, “two tears in a bucket…”

Wall Street Journal Recommends Savannah in January!

January 19th, 2011 by Teresa

Savannah Historic lodging, B&BWhen is the best time to be in Savannah?  Well, it depends, but the Wall Street Journal  says see Savannah in January.  A featured article on Savannah, entitled “Southern Revival”,  held a delicious quote: “Savannah is still…Savannah, only with more facial scruff, less blue hair wash. January’s a pleasant time to get to know her, little black dress with biker boots and all.’  It immediately brings to mind the funky lively spirit that the students of SCAD bring to the city, as well as the free-spirited nature of all her transplants (of which I am one).  Were I a few years younger, I would dare to wear biker boots with anything chic and feel perfectly comfortable in our vibrant downtown night scene.

Cooking Class in Historic Downtown Savannah, Georgia

December 18th, 2010 by kolin

The weather outside is frightful, but the fire is so delightful – if you are in a cooking class in historic downtown Savannah, Georgia.  The fire I’m speaking of was under the pot of gumbo I was making at a cooking class I recently attended.  We have been experiencing an unseemly cold snap here in Savannah, and have been searching for warmer inside activities. We discovered an answer only a short jaunt from the inn at a 3-hour cooking class with a re-known chef and 10 other foodies.  It was, to say the least, a blast!

Thanksgiving Dinner at Azalea Inn and Gardens B&B

November 27th, 2010 by Teresa

Thanksgiving Dinner in Savannah 2010

Hosting Thanksgiving dinner at Azalea Inn and Gardens Bed and Breakfast in Savannah GA this year was a blessing with the return of old friends (John and Regina, John and Stella) and the welcoming of new ones (David and Peg, Thomas and Barbara).  Though this year’s group was the smallest of the six we have enjoyed in the past, the smaller size allowed Jake and I to relax and enjoy the meal with our guests in a way that felt more like a family dinner.   The conversations throughout the evening were diverse, free-flowing and wonderful, laughter rang abundantly throughout the night.  For 2010, we were delighted to include wine pairing as part of the menu as a surprise for our dinner companions and I do believe it was a hit!

It has been a wonderful year and we are grateful for its bounty. We are thankful to the staff, Kimberly and Kolin, who worked extra hard and long to prepare all the food we enjoyed and to Catherine for volunteering to work on Thanksgiving making serving and cleanup easier.  We are thankful to our guests for daring to break tradition and share dinner with strangers – though certainly strangers no more.  We are thankful for another year of prosperity.  We are thankful to have a future to look forward to – perhaps next year you will be amongst our new friends, or returning as one of our old friends.

Book your next holiday at our Savannah Georgia Bed and Breakfast or give a Gift Card for Christmas to a friend or loved one.

Romantic Escape, Savannah GA, a Travel and Leisure Top Spot

November 17th, 2010 by Teresa

Travel and Leisure Magazine has just published a list of America’s Favorite Cities with Savannah taking top spot as the Best Place for a Fall Destination!  But did you know we came second to only Honolulu as best place for a Romantic Escape?  It was no surprise we beat out Charleston in this category.  Don’t get me wrong, Charleston has a been a favorite destination for a long time, but finally, what we all know and love about Savannah is on a list to include (but not limited to):

Savannah Bed and Breakfast Invites You to Discover the South Through Local Theater

November 15th, 2010 by catherine

Muse Arts Warehouse What's Up Next?

Next up at the Muse Arts Warehouse: The Odd Lot at the Movies!

Why do I bring that up?  Last Thursday my friend Lauren invited me to see a production of Tennessee Williams’ The Glass Menagerie, presented by the Collective Face Theatre Ensemble and directed by David I.L. Poole. Not only was I drawn to the performance by the complimentary ticket Lauren offered me (always a bonus!), but was also excited and pleased to discover a non-profit performing arts group in Savannah. The Collective Face Theatre Ensemble was recently formed in 2010 and chooses to perform plays that celebrate Southern culture and background while reflecting upon and including the community and region. Albeit being a newly formed organization, there was nothing amateur about the cast’s performance.
