    Vinnie Van GoGo's

    Okay, so the joint is cramped. And the ordering process can be intense. But the New York-style pizza rocks hard, with crust about as thin as a dollar bill.

    Elizabeth on 37th

    Not as good as it should be for the price (but still darn good), Elizabeth puts diners in a lovely setting and presents ambitious cuisine without too much fuss. Specials might include lacquered quail, or potato-crusted snapper with squash and Brussels sprouts. A nice touch: eight varietals of wine by the glass. Locals warn that the neighborhood isn't safe for walking, so look for close on-street parking.

    Lady & Sons

    Savannah's irrepressible culinary doyenne Paula Deen has created a monster. Her country cookin' is indeed delicious - the fried chicken will have you begging for mercy - but you've gotta know what you're doing to get a table. Show up at 9:30am for lunch or 3:30pm for dinner to put your name on the list. 'Sho-nuff Vegetable Sandwich' meets vegetarian needs.

    Masada Cafe

    Yes, it's a church cafeteria. No, you don't need to be a member of the congregation to eat there. Just come on in and belly up to the cafeteria-style line, where you pick your meat (country fried steak, pork chop, oxtails, fried chicken) and your sides (stuffing, red rice, mac-n-cheese). Saturday is rib day.

    Walls Bar-B-Que

    Adventurous barbecue-lovers, keep looking until you find this glorious 'cue hut' on a tiny alley between E York St and Oglethorpe off Price St. Once you arrive, order a baseball-size mound of deviled crab - watch out for shell bits - and the juicy smoked pork of your hog-heaven dreams.

    Local 11 Ten

    Upscale, sustainable, local, fresh: a combination of elements that creates a monumental experience in an elegant, well-run restaurant. If Carolina yellowfin tuna Oscar or five-spice lacquered duck breast sound tempting, go here. The truffle parmesan fries will make you a fiend.

    Cha Bella

    With a commitment to organic, local and well-presented vittles, this welcoming restaurant leaves pretention behind: swings hang on the lovely patio. The wild porcini mushroom pappardelle or fish market special will not leave you unpleased.

    Mellow Mushroom

    The liberal youth of Savannah come to this pizzeria in the historic district in droves, but older crowds also come. Good beer is on tap. Vegetarian friendly with tons of variety, this groovy chain found a good home in Savannah.

    B Matthews Eatery

    Located on a quieter corner of bustling Bay St, B Matthews serves locally roasted coffee, fried green tomatoes, black-eyed-pea cakes, sandwiches, and a Savannah staple: shrimp and grits.

    River Street Sweets

    A tip: order your pralines not at the cash register, but directly from the praline counter, where they're nice and warm. If you love them - and you will - you can ship some home.

    Belford's

    You can get the standard breakfast buffet at this City Market restaurant, but that would mean passing on the cheesy blue-crab frittata, served with grits and fruit.
