After storing our gear in the large closets and drawers, we made a leisurely five minute walk over to Pinkie Master’s – a Savannah happy hour institution. Their famous bartender, Carol, was on duty, and she made us feel welcome while we talked with new friends and overheard conversations by local TV news reporters, art students, and Directors of prominent Georgia non-profits.
For a casual dinner we recommend the Firefly Café, Mellow Mushroom Pizza, or the Soho Cafe. A uniquely Savannah night out could be a leisurely walk to 700 Drayton for dinner, drinks at The Mansion by the Park, then a pedicab ride home.
When we returned to our suite the young people staying in the rest of the building were enjoying nightcaps on the balcony. Such a nice lively atmosphere! We didn’t make use of the courtyard space, ourselves, but any guest can use it.
On Saturday morning the suite was used as a telecommute work space and we set up an area in the kitchen for working online using our laptop computer.
Later we discovered that we were very close to Forsyth Park, which is a perfect place for a run. The park is about one mile in circumference and a perfect warm-up, then cool-down distance from our suite.
Saturday afternoon we enjoyed pizza at Mellow Mushroom and picked up a few supplies from a 7-11 on the walk back. With baseball on TV, we watched an afternoon thunderstorm rumble in and fade away, then we ended the day with a sunset cocktail on the back porch, appreciating the cooler temperatures brought by the rain. The Saturday night atmosphere at Gallery Espresso involved much people-watching, over a glass of white wine.
After a leisurely morning alternating betweeen the sofa the bed, we headed to Tybee Island for sun and a good breakfast. The Jones Street Suites provided a relaxing, interesting, and rewarding weekend!
