Spanish moss hangs from the oaks above Savannah's grid of twenty-two surviving public squares. Each opening slows the pace, and a courtyard gallery gives a reason to turn aside.

SAMPLE

Savannah Awaits

This is a guide for women 50 and over who travel alone, and Savannah suits that traveler unusually well.

The first morning, walking onto the moss-draped streets of the Historic District, you are unlikely to be thinking about your itinerary. You are more likely to notice what you are breathing. The air is warm, even in February. It carries salt and old cotton warehouses, Spanish moss on the oaks, jasmine.

PRACTICAL SAMPLE

Fine Dining Alone: Why It’s Worth It

Among the most persistent hesitations is fine dining alone. Won’t it be awkward? Will I be seated terribly? Will other diners judge me? Usually not: the city treats diners on their own as ordinary guests.

Tell the restaurant when booking that you’re a party of one. Bar and counter seats are standard at the places listed here, and a window table is worth asking for.

Fine-dining rooms have slower service pacing and more staff on the floor than casual venues, which works in your favor: you are paced through courses rather than rushed or forgotten. Easy places to eat well on your own: Common and Vic’s On The River both offer reservations, so ask whether bar seats are held for walk-ins; The Grey takes reservations and should be booked; Elizabeth on 37th now serves a set tasting menu and should be booked. Check each when you call. (See The Pleasures of the Table.)
