Savannah's Downtown Design District can keep you busy for an entire day. The cluster of locally owned shops and boutiques in the middle of the Historic District offers a walkable shopping spree for antiques, gifts, clothes, fabrics, specialty papers, and furniture. The off the beaten path location between Drayton and Whitaker from Liberty Street to Gordon Street offers plenty of parking, shade, and an opportunity to hit Mrs. Wilkes famous boarding house on Jones Street for lunch while you’re there.
