Savannah’s Hidden Gems

 

There is some fantastic Savannah shopping that visitors often miss because it’s not on Broughton, or River Street. Nope, this shopping is right off of Forsyth on Whitaker Street in Savannah’s Downtown Design District. Just a couple of skips from the Drayton and Waldburg Savannah Vacation Rentals properties, this little (otherwise undiscovered) gem is perfect. Take an afternoon stroll through the park and make sure to stop in this small village of shops.
