Design Milk Travels to…Savannah, Georgia

As the first planned city in the United States, Savannah, Georgia is flush with abundant parks, pristine fountains and Spanish moss. Twent-two impressive town squares are dispersed in a grid style throughout Savannah so there’s always plenty of opportunity to sit down, learn about the statue or fountain at the center of it all, and watch one of Savannah’s historic trolleys or carriage tours roll by.

While this may seem all prim and trim, Savannah is also home to a vibrant, young artistic community—many of whom were drawn to the town thanks to the presence and vision of Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD). In this travel guide, we’ll explore a destination at the confluence of Southern hospitality and collegiate creativity.

WHERE TO STAY

The Alida, a Tribute Portfolio hotel, sits at this precise junction of budding creativity meets professional hospitality. Pantone, the color gurus of the world, even set up their experimental pop-up Pantone Pantry this year at the Alida to celebrate their 2019 Color of the Year: Living Coral.

In the pantry are coral jewelry and designer items by SCAD alumni artists Jocelyn DeSisto, Amiri Farris and Will Penny; coral designs flow into the hotel’s main lobby where they can be purchased from the Alida’s 24-hour design emporium, Keep Shop.

The weekend we visited Savannah, the Alida seemed like it was the most colorful and lively spot in town; many local artists converged at the hotel to luxuriate with cocktails around the pool deck or at the rooftop bar.

WHERE TO VISIT

Experience the role of SCAD in bringing contemporary art to Savannah by starting out at the SCAD Museum of Art, which features international artists while engaging the local community and SCAD students in their initiatives.

There are new exhibitions every academic quarter, and the 86-foot-high steel and glass lantern that sifts natural light through the SCAD Museum of Art has also become a defining feature of Savannah’s skyline.

If the idea of 20,500 square feet of space for fibers and paints excites you, you’ll have to head down to SCAD’s Pepe Hall for a tour of their fiber labs. Among others, there’s a room dedicated to handlooms, a dye kitchen with induction burners, two large format printers, a screen printing lab and a felting and paper-making workshop.

Collins Quarter is an Australian cafe styled after Melbourne’s historic Collins Street that’s become a mainstay on Savannah’s downtown streets. The menu serves both the traditional—think Southern breakfast of biscuits and gravy—as well as the innovative, from Lavender infused specialty coffees to bright pink Beet Hummus on toast.

So it’s no surprise that families and students love to hang out here; we even spotted a celebrity the last time we visited, thanks to Savannah being a go-to location for Hollywood films nowadays.

Jepson Center. Photo courtesy of Atlantic Archives/Richard Leo Johnson.

The Telfair Museums, spread across three buildings in Savannah, were built to connect three centuries of art and architecture. The striking and modern building known as the Jepson Center is my personal favorite: not only for the expansive glass windows and light-filled exhibitions, but because it showcased a remarkable Rembrandt exhibition earlier this year.

This summer at Jepson, you’ll find dreamscapes and paintings by American artist Suzanne Jackson (‘Suzanne Jackson: Five Decades’), river ambrotypes by Michael Koster (‘Michael Koster: Take Me to the River’) paper quilt installations by SCAD alum Jessica Pope (‘Boxed In/Break Out’) and painterly maps by Ansley West Rivers (‘Source to Sea: Ansley West Rivers’).

WHERE TO SHOP

shopSCAD is an upscale design and art store that promotes the work of SCAD alumni. Photo courtesy SCAD.

shopSCAD isn’t just a typical campus store touting college hoodies and stationery; you can find photography books by portrait photographer Jonathan Becker, wall murals by Namwon Choi, a professor at SCAD, as well as end tables by Katy Skelton, a furniture and lightning designer based right here in Savannah.

Satchel, a craft store for sumptuous soft leathers, is your best bet if you’re looking to pick up a well crafted handbag or wallet here in Savannah and love it for years to come. SCAD Alumni Elizabeth Seeger Jolly founded Satchel on Savannah’s iconic Broughton Street; it’s been growing ever since, and in line with Savannah’s family-style hospitality, the staff love to cater to your wishes and make you custom leather pieces in uncommon colors and offer you a glass of bubbles while you hang out.

FINAL THOUGHTS

Savannah will impress you with her town squares and her blue azaleas flourishing along cobbled pavements. It’s a city where nature isn’t as dramatic as a thriving coastline or a jagged cliff, it is more gentle, more elegant, teeming quietly and interspersed throughout. Locals in Savannah find joy in walking (or running) through the 30-acre Forsyth Park or going away to the Oatland Island Wildlife Center or the Skidaway Island State Park. It’s often a family style affair here, so if you’re intending to have a picnic on Savannah’s green lawns or modest beaches, and be ready to share your chomp, tell a good tale, and revel in hearty moments.

If you’ve traveled to Savannah, Georgia and have any favorite spots or recommendations for first time visitors, let us know below so we can share (and also check it out ourselves the next time we’re there).

Beyond Savannah’s Historic District: Activities for Every Travel Taste

Earlier this month, we headed back to Savannah for three nights, something that’s becoming a bit of an annual tradition. It’s hard to believe that I’d never been to this romantic Southern city until my late 20s—and now I’ve visited five times in the past six years. And while eating and drinking are typically the top of our list when traveling to this coastal Georgia enclave, there are plenty of activities in Savannah that don’t actually include five meals a day (though, no judgment here if that’s your preferred travel style!).

I’ve been asked by many how long one needs to fully soak up Savannah’s charm. With more and more flight options available—Allegiant recently introduced a seasonal direct flight from Nashville to Savannah that we hopped aboard—it’s easier than ever to jet down for a long weekend. And if three days is all you have, then by God, get yourself to Savannah. But if you have a full week, even better—there’s so much to do that you’ll never grow bored, and over the past 20 years, the city has evolved into a bona-fide vacation destination worthy of much more than a mere weekend. Bunk in a vacation rental on Tybee or make your base in downtown Savannah; either way, you can’t go wrong.

I’ve done Savannah in just about every way you could: with my husband, with friends, on a bachelorette party, you name it. My trips have ranged from do-all-the-touristy-things-on-River-Street to only-go-to-the-insider-spots-with-locals. And while you could easily spend an entire five-day visit exploring the Historic District by foot—despite being just a square mile, it’s chock-pack with restaurants and bars, museums and historic homes—I encourage you to get outside of it, at least for a day.

Here are seven ways to incorporate various neighborhoods of the city and beyond.

For the Fitness Buff: A Class at Savannah Cirque

You know I’m always up for anything acrobatic. I think the fact that I wanted to be a gymnast growing up but was neither short enough—I hit 5’5″ in elementary school and wound up gaining another two inches in height later on—or flexible enough to do so led me to fall in love with aerial arts and AcroYoga as an adult. So when my local friend Susan told me that Savannah’s first circus center opened a year ago, I knew how we’d be spending our first morning in town.

Savannah Cirque is the brainchild of fitness professional Sabrina Madsen, who spent much of her life as a gymnast and now competes in international pole competitions. This is not your average circus studio; there are a ton of classes on offer. I thought we were going to be joining your standard aerial yoga flow class (read: gentle stretching with the assist of the hammock), but nope: We elevated it a level by taking aerial dance. And SVV may or may not have known what he was getting into, but he was a good sport nonetheless! Not only was it a great workout—I was sweating buckets by the end and my thighs were sore for days—but it was a whole lot of fun. SVV, Susan and I giggled our way through the 60-minute workout. This would be a really fun activity for a Savannah bachelorette party or any girls’ getaway (or hey, with your husband like I did!). If aerial dance isn’t your thing, Savannah Cirque also has classes in lyra, aerial hoop, trapeze, pole fitness and hand-balancing.

For the Beer Drinker: An Afternoon in Starland District

I first visited the Starland District on my inaugural visit to Savannah as it boasts one of the city’s most famed residents: Back in the Day Bakery. But now, the Starland District has earned its name as it’s blossomed into a neighborhood popular for its artist shops, great eats and, most importantly, brewery newcomer. Two Tides Brewing Co. was started by the ocean-loving couple James and Liz Massey after some critical laws changed in the state of Georgia in 2017 that allowed direct sales to customers. This brewery occupies the top floor of a grand old house and specializes in small-batch beers—with plenty of sours on tap, much to SVV’s and my delight.

Bonus: There’s an eye-catching mural of bees located on the back of the building in the parking lot and a stunning interior mural that wraps around the space by Alexandria Hall. Savannah has another excellent brewery, Service Brewing Co., that I’ll be talking about in the next post for all of you brewery-hoppers out there.

For the Historian: A Walking Tour

Genteel & Bard came about when broadcast journalist T.C. Michaels lost his radio show, an unfortunate outcome of the media industry’s unstable nature this past decade and one that plenty of my friends and colleagues have seen, too. Instead of letting the news get them down, he and his wife Brenna took that experience and spun it into Savannah’s most interactive tour company, peppered with personality and Southern grace and accentuated with a top-notch audio integration by way of earbuds that connect to T.C.’s microphone and iPad (I even stopped for a bathroom break and could hear him in my ears a block away!).

The result is a laid-back and immersive dive into the culture and history of a quintessential city in the American lexicon. I’ve taken plenty of Savannah tours and this was my favorite so far; the audio effects—music, readings and more—really enhanced the experience. And I take my time with photography, so I love that I could wander around and snap while T.C. talked without feeling rude or missing out on any clutch details.

For the Beach Bum: A Day at Tybee Island

It took me until my fourth visit to Savannah to venture out to Tybee Island, which is just bonkers given that it’s less than a half-hour’s drive from downtown. On this visit, we were met with cloudy skies much of the time, which just meant, apart from the surfers and fishermen, that we had the beach relatively to ourselves.

Tybee has gorgeous tracts of unblemished sand, marshes filled with wildlife, and a lovely lighthouse that dates to the 1700s and was also the site of a major turning point in coastal defense during the Civil War, with the bombardment by Union troops of nearby Fort Pulaski introducing the rifled cannon to the world of warfare.

Filled with brightly painted cottages, bed and breakfasts, hotels and some camping/RV spots, the island town has plenty of options by way of lodging, and there’s nary a chain in site. It’s truly the bohemian vibe that Millennial and DINK travelers like us crave, while also well-suited for families of all sizes.

For the House Nerds: Architectural Tour of Savannah

The very last of the original 13 colonies, Georgia was founded at the height of the Enlightenment and during a period of rapid expansion of the European powers into the New World. Named after King George II, the province was established under the leadership of an English general named James Edward Oglethorpe for the British crown in the early 1730s as both a bulwark against the French and Spanish and, originally, in Oglethorpe’s vision, a place for the poor, jailed debtors and others in London to get a new start.

It was an idealistic place from the beginning, and featured, among other paternalistic decisions, a ban on slaves and rum, a rarity for the nascent colonies. The town plan for Savannah, the first settlement in Georgia, conceived a series of geometrically laid out wards, with a central square anchoring each one together. Twenty-two of these squares remain in the city and lend this moss draped town a unique flavor of urban design that’s often heralded as the benchmark for smart social planning.

Jonathan Stalcup, a 2004 alum of SCAD, the premier design school of the south, runs an impressively thorough 90-minute Architectural Savannah tour that breaks all of this down and opens your eyes to the system that Oglethorpe had in mind. Jonathan’s historical knowledge of these buildings makes this tour riveting.

For the Nature Lover: Isle of Hope

Looking for your postcard-perfect coastal Georgia scene? It’s right there on the Isle of Hope. Our friend Susan, a local, took us here on our spring visit last year, and it remains one of the prettier places I’ve seen in an area widely known for its natural beauty.

While the peninsula (not actually an island) largely comprises residences, the Isle of Hope Marina is worth a visit; on a warm, sunny day, plan on nabbing a table outside at the Wyld dock bar and enjoying the weather—and the view. Note: Wormsloe Historic Site Isle is also close by.

For the Designer at Heart: Visit SCAD

SCAD—or Savannah College of Art and Design—is responsible for infusing the city with the creative energy that pulses throughout it. So many architects, designers and entrepreneurs are products of the private university, which was founded just 40 years ago, and its buildings, numbering upward of 70, are now scattered throughout the Historic District. You’ll see them just walking around, but worth visiting is the campus store ShopSCAD with its collection of original art for sale, as well as Poetter Hall in which it is housed.

Another fun place to wander inside if you merely want to ogle some impressive art is the Mansion on Forsyth Park, now owned by Marriott. This 1888 building was once a funeral home—so I’m dead certain ghosts reside within!—and opened as a hotel in 2005. Even if you aren’t a guest or a patron, you can enter the restaurant side at 700 Drayton and climb the stairs to see the whimsical paintings and other fun accents that give this famous spot some color.
