With all the movies that have recently been filming around Savannah, it is no surprise that there are plenty of newcomers wandering around the city squares these days. Savannah is also consistently named as one of the friendliest cities in the United States so travelers to the area are likely to have it on their list of must-see places. However, anyone that drops by this town is sure to end up searching for a bite to eat at some point but as everyone knows not all restaurants are created equal.

There are numerous places to eat on River and Bay Street but these spots tend to be overrun with tourists and the locals generally go elsewhere. In fact, going only a few blocks away from the river will bring travelers to Broughton Street where finding affordable food option is much easier. Notable eateries found here include the Kayak Café, which has delicious salads and sandwiches, and the French style bistro, Papillotte.

Travelers can also head away from the river and down Abercorn to find another local favorite, Zunzi’s. This popular take-out spot is known for being a tasty and economical option. Look for the building covered in flags and follow the crowd. The caveat to dining at the original location is that onsite dining options are limited to a few outdoor tables. City visitors who find this a problematic situation can always make their way over to the second Zunzi’s off Bay Street where there is plentiful indoor seating.

Of course, no meal is complete without dessert. Travelers may want to check out Leopold’s on Broughton Street where the ice cream is a perfect antidote to the sticky-hot Savannah summer weather. Kids’ scoops at this spot are about $3 no matter how old you are and single scoops run about $4. If the line snaking halfway down the block looks intimidating, fear not. It is a rare day when the procession doesn’t move quickly. Those that aren’t in the mood for ice cream may instead want to stop by River Street Sweets on River Street where they sell a wide variety of tasty goodies such as pecan log rolls, fudge, pralines, and taffy.
