The Grey, in black & white

When I first started planning my brief time in Savannah, after purchasing my plane ticket, I solicited things to do over on Fodor’s travel board. Among the suggestions for places to dine, The Olde Pink House and The Grey were each mentioned multiple times. So, I booked at both.

Humans in Savannah – a field report

As I’ve learned to do when I travel, I checked the entertainment listings for the dates I’d be in Savannah to see what I might catch.
