New to Savannah's culinary scene, Treylor Park is the latest restaurant to cinch the farm-to-table approach and to encourage others to “Live Sensibly”.

Hailed for its inventive menu and reasonable prices, this casual dining and drinking destination offers artisan cocktails, craft beer and local fare, with special attention to detail. Treylor Park is built on the motto "Quality over Quantity” and features a range of salads, tacos, burgers, plates, sides and sweets.

Whether you’re in the mood to sip a smooth cocktail at the bar or to sample a draft Georgia brew in the outside beer garden, Treylor Park has just what you’re looking for. This unique restaurant also features great music and a modern atmosphere, with the front bar crafted from an old bowling alley in Savannah.

Named after owner Trey Wilder – who has worked for the W hotel chain and managed some of New York’s hippest rooftop bars -- this Bay Street establishment serves fresh, local Savannah comfort bar food with a twist. Enjoy a delicious dinner, a full late night menu or a weekend brunch starting at 10 a.m. on Saturday and Sunday.

“We call our food Elevated White Trash,” laughs Trey. “It’s delicious and comforting, but also fun and fresh.”

The kitchen operates under the leadership of Hunter Sattlewhite, a Virginia native who for-merly served as a chef at the Playboy Mansion in California. He brings a lively twist to each of the menu items, from appetizers to desserts, serving tasty dishes that delight locals and visi-

tors alike.

Classics like the Treylor Park burger with all the fixings and mashed pota-toes with country sausage gravy share stage with modern takes on fried easy eggs centered in brioche

toast with Béchamel sauce and tarte flambés. Many dishes incorporate local cheeses and cured meats. Tacos are served up with thin, crisp peppered pancakes and fried chicken with honey chili sauce or crispy grouper sticks with cilantro and lime Chow Chow.

Desserts earn an open belt notch with favorites like fried Oreos, Rice Krispy S'more rolls and Bacon Brownie with Coffee Fox coffee, toffee caramel and vanilla bean ice cream. Roll up your sleeves and be sure to save room for dessert!

Favorite cocktails include the Cactus Pear Margarita and the Flying Wasp, which is craft-ed from mint tea vodka, simple syrup, lemon and ginger ale. If you’re feeling adventurous, try the Kudzoo Koolatta, made from green tea tequila, cucumber puree, simple syrup and lime juice.

Group events are a specialty. Treylor Park hosts a variety of special events, from 10-person luncheons to wedding receptions. Open bar packages, buffet style dinners and business meeting spaces are available.

Art In SavannahSavannah’s quality of life is unrivaled by any comparably-sized city in the South. In fact, part of the appeal of Georgia’s First City lies in its surpris-ingly rich array of cultural offerings from the visual arts to live music.

Savannah is home to more than 40 galleries, the oldest art museum in the South and the Savannah College of Art and Design. Literally thousands of artists, including students and professionals, flock to this City with its history of strong support for the arts. The relationship between Savannah and its creative residents is reciprocal: not only has the city supported its artists, but its artists have played a key role in the city’s continued growth and vitality.

Just a quick elevator ride to the upper level studios in the Franklin Ward North and Franklin Ward South Buildings in Historic City Market is where you will discover a wide variety of original art. Take the time to explore the area and visit with more than 50 artists as they bring the “Art of Savannah” to life - all of which is as unique as the City itself.

ARTS


Historic City Market is the “Art & Soul of Savannah.” Just a quick elevator ride to the upper level studios in the Franklin Ward

North and Franklin Ward South Buildings is where you will discover a wide variety of origi nal art. Take the time to explore the area

and visit with more than 50 artists as they bring the “Art of Savannah” to life - all of which is as unique as the City itself.


Historic Savannah is built around 22 squares, featuring some of the country's finest examples of Federal, Georgian, Gothic Revival, Italianate, Romanesque and Second French Empire architecture. Many of the city’s finest details can be best viewed from a Segway.

“You can't see up in a vehicle,” notes Tess Scheer, manager for Segway of Savannah, which offers a fleet of two-wheeled, self-balancing, battery-powered electric Segway per-sonal transporters for guided tours. “People often fail to look up when they’re downtown, but the roof lines and the skyline have such hidden treasures with gargoyles, artwork and other artistic elements. Our view is totally unobstructed.”

Guides certified by the City of Savannah lead Segway riders through casual and fun tours at their own pace, pointing out ironwork and other details, paired with stories of Savannah's rich past. This experience offers the benefits of a walking tour, but allows visi-tors to cover more ground, which is particularly significant during the company's Bonaventure Cemetery Tour. Visitors travel on an expansive tour along the Wilmington River in one of the world's most elegant and picturesque resting places.

As with any-thing new, some first-time riders are tentative about riding a Segway. As a Certificate of Excellence 2014 winner on TripAdvisor, Segway of Savannah has helped more than 22,000 peo-ple feel com-fortable over the past five years and

offers excellent training.

“The key is to relax,” says Tess. “The technolo-gy is so advanced and well-thought out that we do nothing but stand on it. One hundred per-

cent of the balance is in your feet, and the handlebar is to control left and right steering.”

Segway of Savannah also hosts corporate Creative Team Building excursions and serves as an alternative choice for local companies looking to build leadership, time-management skills and camaraderie by splitting employees into groups who then embark on Scavenger Hunts throughout the downtown district, with 15 clues hidden in the city’s signs, architecture and ironwork.

“Everyone has just raved about it,” says Tess. “It's a bonding and team-building experience as well as a game where they learn interesting facts about Savannah in a unique way.”

Come and take a Segway for a spin! Segway of Savannah is open daily from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The company’s 60 and 90-minute Historical Tours run seven days a week. A 90-minute Bonaventure Cemetery Tour is available Monday through Saturday.

“They're addictive,” says Tess. “I tell everyone, once you ride, you will look for these every-where you go.”

*Please note: All riders must be at least 16 years-old. Children ages 16 and 17 must be accompanied by an adult.

No visit to Savannah is com plete with out a visit to the city’s historic ceme teries, each of which serves as a final resting place for many of Savannah’s most fasci nat ing residents. Each of these ceme teries is situated amid incred ibly scenic surroundings.

Even if ceme teries give you goose bumps, you’ll be glad you stopped by to experience some of Savannah’s unique history firsthand. Just don’t stay too long!

BONAVENTURE CEMETERYImmortalized by John Berendt in his bestseller Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil, Bonaventure is the final resting place for many of Savannah’s most prominent citizens includ ing song writer Johnny Mercer (1909-1976), poet Conrad Aiken (1889-1973) and plantation owner Noble Jones (1701-1775), one of Savannah’s original set tlers who colonized the city with General James Oglethorpe in 1733. Located along the scenic banks of the Wilmington River, Bonaventure Cemetery also features group burials for the American Legion Field, the Confederate States of America, the Order of Railroad Conductors and the veterans of the Spanish-American War.

Originally a 600-acre plantation, Bonaventure was sold for $5,000 in 1846 to Savannah business man Peter Wiltberger, who turned the land into a public cemetery called Evergreen Cemetery. The City of Savannah purchased Evergreen Cemetery in 1907 and turned it into Bonaventure Cemetery.

Savannah photographer Jack Leigh captured the image that graces the cover of Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil — a burial statue, nick-named “The Bird Girl,” that once stood in the heart of Bonaventure Cemetery. The “Bird Girl” statue is current ly on display at the Telfair Museum of Art.HOW TO GET THERE: Bonaventure is located just off Pennsylvania Avenue on Bonaventure Road.HOURS: Open daily from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

COLONIAL PARK CEMETERYColonial Park Cemetery is the city’s only non-active cemetery, meaning that no more burials take place on this historic plot of land, located at the corner of Abercorn Street and Oglethorpe Avenue.

Walk through the graceful arch erected by the Daughters of the American Revolution and you will discover a window into Savannah’s rich past. Many of Savannah’s earliest settlers are buried in Colonial Park, whose gravestones date back to the 1700’s.

Today, Colonial Park Cemetery serves as a park for many Savannah residents. Many Savannahians stroll through the cemetery in the early morning or walk their dogs within the ceme-

tery’s wrought iron perimeter in the evening. HOW TO GET THERE: The main entrance is located at the corner of Abercorn Street and Oglethorpe Avenue.HOURS: Open daily from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.

LAUREL GROVE CEMETERYEstablished in 1852, Laurel Grove Cemetery has thousands of graves that reflect Savannah’s rich his tory, situated amid groves of live oak, magnolia and dogwood trees. This contemplative site, which features ornate ironwork and mag nificent statuary on many of the lots, was once called Springfield Plantation.

Laurel Grove is divided into two distinct sections, by a highway connector. Laurel Grove North, per-haps the better-known part of the cemetery, is the burial place of hundreds of Confederate soldiers as well as prominent citizens like Juliette Gordon Low, the founder of the Girl Scouts, and Florence Martus, Savannah’s “The Waving Girl.”

Laurel Grove South serves as the final resting place for many members of Savannah’s African-American community. Many slaves, freedmen and even two African-American Confederate veterans are buried in Laurel Grove South.HOW TO GET THERE: Laurel Grove Cemetery is best accessed from Martin Luther King, Jr. Blvd. Turn right onto Anderson Street and the main gate will be straight ahead.HOURS: Open daily from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

CALENDAR

(continued from pg. 12)



During the Civil War, Savannah faced one of the biggest challenges in the city's illustrious history. Strongly allied with the Confederacy, Savannah encountered formidable gunfire, economic hard-ship and bloody battles during the Civil War.

To this day, in fact, many Savannahians use the term, “The War of Northern Aggression,” resisting the idea that there was anything “civil” about this merciless war. Countless Savannah soldiers per-ished defending the Confederacy, many of whom have been buried with honors at historic Laurel Grove Cemetery, located on the city's west side.

During the early part of the Civil War, Fort Pulaski played an important role in defending Savannah from Union troops. A masonry fort, Fort Pulaski was thought to be invincible. In April of 1862, however, Union troops fired rifled cannons from Tybee Island, under the direction of Union General Quincy A. Gilmore, for more than 30 hours. Union troops fired over 5,000 shells upon Fort Pulaski before Confederate General Charles Olmstead surrendered the fort on April 11, 1862.

After the fall of Fort Pulaski, the city of Savannah prepared for war. A Union blockade, with strong-holds in Port Royal, S.C. and Hilton Head Island, S.C., put pressure on Savannah, blocking port commerce and causing rampant inflation.

Under General William Tecumseh Sherman, the Union army marched steadily towards Savannah in 1864, burning cities, towns and plantations along the way. Sherman's troops “spread out to cut a path of destruction sixty miles wide through the heart of Georgia,” writes Preston Russell in Savannah: A History of Her People Since 1733. “They lived off the fat of the land they did not destroy.”

When Sherman's troops approached Fort McAllister in nearby Richmond Hill, they encoun-tered an elaborate earthenwork fort along the Ogeechee River. The fort, which is now a histor-

ic state park, separated the Union army from the Union navy (and vital supplies for the troops).

Fort McAllister operated under the com mand of Confederate commander George W. Anderson, with 150 defenders. On December 13, 1864, they faced 1,500 Union troops in a violent battle that led to the fall of Fort McAllister.

Sherman's troops advanced towards Savannah, threatening to “cast heavy and destructive shot[s] as far as the heart of your city.” Mayor Richard Arnold surrendered Savannah to Sherman's army, protecting the city from certain destruction.

Sherman sent his now-legendary message to President Lincoln on December 22, 1864, inform-ing the president: “I beg to present to you as a Christmas Gift, the City of Savannah with 150 heavy guns and plenty of ammunition; and also about 25,000 bales of Cotton.”

During his occupation of Savannah, Sherman took up residence at the Green-Meldrim Mansion on Madison Square, a spectacular Gothic revival home owned by Charles Green. The building that currently houses the restaurant Tondee's Tavern, located on E. Bay Street, served as Sherman's Civil War military headquarters in Savannah.

After capturing Savannah, Sherman's army headed north to invade South Carolina, en route to Columbia and Charleston.

In the wake of the Civil War, Savannah, like much of the South, faced the long, difficult task of Reconstruction. At the end of the war, the City of Savannah faced nearly $400,000 in debt, along with a decimated regional economy.

With the railroads destroyed by Union troops, Savannah's lucrative cotton trade stagnated. It would take decades before the city recovered – economically, emotionally and politically – from the ravages of war.

In a study published by the Savannah Historic Foundation, one of the most admired preservation groups in the country, more than 40 percent of 2,500 buildings inventoried in Savannah had archi tectural or historical significance. Most restoration has been accomplished by individuals – one building at a time. With the addition of the Savannah College of Art and Design in the late 1970s, historic preservation and restoration flourished. From the simple Colonial style to the intricate Medievalinfluenced cathedrals, to the gingerbread accents of the Victorian period; examples of most, if not all, of the nation’s 18th and 19th century prevailing architectural styles can be found in Savannah.

Excited by the growth of Savannah's culinary scene, Jeffrey Schrader and Bryan Behling opened The Ancient Olive in 2014 on Broughton Street to cater to the expanding gourmet market.

“Savannah is a great foodie town," says Bryan, who, with his business partner, owns four other gourmet specialty shops in Florida. "Jeffrey and I search for the highest quality products in the world. We want to provide that to our cus-tomers at a reasonable cost that every family can afford."

As a result of their commitment to providing the best olive oils from around the globe, Jeffrey and Bryan were awarded in 2013 an Ultra Premium Extra Virgin Olive Oils designa-tion, at the time given to only 15 retail shops across the U.S. and Canada. Please visit upoli-veoil.com for more information.

The single varietal oils come from one olive grove and are tracked from the moment they leave the tree. Some of the olive oils are then fused with citrus or chiles in a cold-press method that must happen within three hours of picking. All oils are then sent to Germany or Australia for testing of purity and chemical composition, and to Italy for taste and sensory evaluation.

"You won't find anything like this in any other gourmet shop in the area," notes Bryan.

Specialty nut, seed, and truffle-fused oils are

also featured, as are 35 balsamic vinegars made in the traditional style imported from Modena, Italy. Balsamic vinegars include both white and red varietals, some of which have been aged in Italy for up to 18 years. A cus-tomer favorite, Black Mission Fig, is perfect for making vinaigrettes, mixing in marinades, pour-ing over ice cream or blending in a cocktail.

Many of the gourmet food products offered at The Ancient Olive include sofi award winners; in the fine food world, sofi awards are the equivalent to the Oscars in the film industry. Unique pastas and sauces, handcrafted jams, tapenades, olives, nuts and hot sauces are always available and you are encouraged to try each item before you buy. Also on hand are culinary accessories and hardware, like pour spouts that allow home chefs to control the flow of oils and vinegars and to maintain freshness during storage, as well as cookbooks and other food-related titles.

The Ancient Olive is also a fine art gallery, showcasing its Grace Collection, comprised of plein air and impressionist originals by a variety of Georgia and Florida artists.

This foodie destination is uniquely, thoughtfully and artfully gourmet. Please be sure to visit The Ancient Olive during any visit to Savannah!

The tasting room and shop hours are Monday to Thursday from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., Friday and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Please visit TheAncientOlive.com for additional information about upcoming demonstrations, tastings and cooking classes.
