not to hijack your post. but definitely go eat at Vic's you have to take an elevator up to like the 3rd or 4th floor but the foood and wine is amaazing there. i highly recommend it. its right next to the water...

Yep, I sure do! All of the rec's I gave lucky were for a b-party...so that won't really do. When we went there for our engagement weekend we stayed at the Azalea Inn (www.azaleainn.com) I loved it. We had never stayed at a B&B before and it was a really fun experience. It 's towards the back by Forsyth Park but it's definitely walkable. We explored the whole city by foot Saturday and then just took a car (seriously like a 3min drive) to the stuff we did at night...mostly b/c it was freezing out! If B&B's aren't really your thing, there are hotels right by riverstreet that you can stay at for much cheaper. During the day I would just explore the city. There are beautiful cathedrals and lots of neat shops especially in the City Market area. There's also a small winery in the City Market area. There's a neat little store on the main shopping road (I think it's Broughton st) called the honey house. We had a lot of fun honey tasting there. At night we went to a restaurant called Alligator Soul for dinner. It's a little pricey but definitely worth it. It was suggested to us by the couple at the B&B and we were so glad we chose to go there and skip the hoopla of the overly popular restaurants like "Lady's and Sons." For night life there are some neat little bars that open up on Broughton street. If your looking for something a little more upbeat there is a Piano Bar called Savannah Smiles that it a lot of fun. B/C I know you're a martini girl I would also check out Jen & Friends. It's a small bar and it gets pretty crowded but they have a HUGE martini list. Whew! I think that's all that's coming to mind right now. Hope that helps. I'll page you if I think of anything else.

Yes... I also heard that Vic's is great and a good alternative to The Lady & Sons. My dinner at Alligator Soul we pretty incredible though. The service was amazing (wine recs, pampering etc.) I got a surf and turf of the biggest scallops I have ever seen (literally the size of the round butter dishes) and a filet. The waiter suggested that I have half a glass of white for the scallops and half a glass of red to compliment the steak...I thought that was pretty neat. He even had suggestions as to which white to pair w/it since they were scallops and not ...say shrimp or another type of fish. The chef also sent out several complimentary amuse bouches...and the girls all got roses.
