2 days in Savannah - 2
If anyone has visited Savannah on pleasure, what sights/attractions/museume did you enjoy most? What popular sights/attractions/museums did you enjoy least or thought were over rated? If a friend was going to Savannah on pleasure, what restaurants would you recommend? Which hotels would be best suited for someone on a tight budget? Other than the Historic District, what other sights/attractions/museums would you recommend?

Or are you looking for something that would be printed in a tour guidebook?
If so - assuming an afternoon arrival -
Check in to hotel (many recommended in links above)
Go to dinner - I'd make it the Pink House
Have a drink in the tavern downstairs or the roof of the Bohemian
Full day 1 -
Eat breakfast at your hotel (many free) or go to a breakfast restaurant (many listed above)
go on a trolley or carriage tour - get an overview of the city
Walk the squares a little OR River Street
Be ready for the opening for Mrs Wilkes lunch
Stroll the squares a bit more
Meet up with Dirk from Savannah Rambles for a walking tour
Go back to hotel and get ready for dinner
Dinner at hotel (many listed above)
Day 2 -
Walk a little more to see the city OR go to a museum OR one of the historical house museums (recommended by Dirk or from the links above)
Have lunch somewhere (many listed above)
My favorites = SCAD store and Gryphon Tea Room - across the street from one another
Go see Bonaventure or drive out to Tybee Island
Buy pralines before you leave Savannah

The OP put up a huffy gripe on another Savannah thread when it was recommended that a hopelessly vague poster do a board and guidebook search first.
f64club, is this request meant for a trip you're taking to Savannah? If so, I'm going to recommend you do a board and guidebook search. And if you're not, I'll suggest you quit trolling.

When I'm planning a trip, I'm the only who knows what drew me to the location in the first place. I'm never going to ask anyone for an itinerary, just recommendations for getting around and where to eat.

Thank you for your replies and suggestions. The last time I used this forum was about 5-6 years again when I asked about things to do and see when I went to Rome. I got amazing suggestions about most popular sights, back doors, best times to go to the Vatican and Sistine Chapel, and a lot more. The answers I received helped me to better plan my trip and to waste less time. Starrs - thanks for the recommendations in your first reply. The sarcasm in your other 9 was duly noted.
Bachslunch - guidebooks are nice if you want one persons experience (which is usually years old) but once in a while it's nice to hear other view points.
BTW - If ever in Boston, make sure you go to Mike's pastry in the north end. No better pastries. In Washington DC, grab a drink at the top of the Washington Hotel. An outdoor cafe with a view of the sniper on top of the White House. Makes you think. Oh, neither of these suggestions are in any guidebook I have read.
