Travel Guide: Savannah + Sewanee – Junyuan | Professional Bag Manufacturer

 

Shout out to all my G.R.I.T.S.-Travel Guide Gift

Every mile is a memory when you’re in God’s country (the south). This May, Deb and I have been compiling our own savory, southern narratives during our respective trips to Savannah, Georgia, and Sewanee, Tennessee. While Deb was on a midnight train to Georgia for a wedding, I headed to my Southern comfort zone and alma mater, the University of the South, for my little brother’s graduation. Lord, we were born ramblin’ women and are back in the District with a southern state of mind (and a little bit chicken fried). So, why don’t y’all giddy up, giddy up, and get gone with the wind with us!

“Most of Oglethorpe’s city (Savannah) has passed on to the ghostly realm, too, but his urban-planning legacy remains a walkable, bikeable, town, one of the loveliest haunts in the South” -Chris Dixon, The New York Times.

There’s no sweeter southern treasure than biscuits, pies, cinnamon buns, and pop tarts made in-house. I couldn’t be more proud of Lil’ Debbie’s order: a biscuit with house-made jam, sausage, and a fried egg. What a way to start the day.

As Deb so accurately phrased it, “You know you’re in the south when the hotel robes are terry cloth lined seersucker.” From a secret garden, and Italian cafe, to the hallway of butterflies, this Kimpton property jewel is a prime example of contemporary swagger meets southern hospitality.

Experience-driven shopping comes to fruition at Paris Market and Brocante. Find new and old French gems for your home and wardrobe in this cache made complete with a coffee and candy bar.

Foxy Loxy is much more than a piping hot cup of the best coffee in Savannah. With a hip atmosphere, outdoor garden, and live music, the Tex-Mex cantina and coffee bar evades the slightest trace of a dull moment (or flavor).

What the New York Times calls the “Ikea antidote,” Alex Raskin Antiques is truly Savannah’s “most interesting shop.” This decadent manor is inundated with art, ephemera, secretaries, mirrors, rugs, chests, and tables (so…just about any funky, southern relic you can imagine). Alex Raskin brings a magical and meridional flair to the streets of Savannah.
