I met my wife in '01, and we took a trip to Savannah where she bought "The Book". She fell in love with the city too, so now we go several times each year. Actually, we are due for another visit. We have partied several times with Jerry Spence from "The Book", and my wife insisted that we go and meet Chablis once. (I wasn't impressed- very pretentious and stuck on itself.)
We have toured Mercer House, and spent many hours walking through Boneventure Cemetery. Even shared martinis at Conrad Aiken's grave a few times.
Yep, I just talked myself into it. Time to put in for some time off, Vinnie Van Go-Goes is calling my name!
Just ate at Vinnie’s a few weeks ago. It was as good as ever.
They still don’t take plastic.
I’ve run into Chablis a few times myself. Your opinion is spot on.
If you go out to Bonaventure again, take the sharp right after you leave the gate and go back into Greenwich. Nothing to historical, but, some very nice picnic benches and a wonderful tidal pond and garden are back there. When I was a child, we would go out there frequently for a picnic.
If you like cemeteries, you would also want to check out Laurel Grove on the other side of town. That is where Juliette Gordon Lowe, General McLaws, and several other rather famous folk are.
E-mail me if you have any questions.
