Review:

Located along the Savannah River, Savannah’s historically rich Waterfront once served as the location where many warehouses stood 200 years ago during the time when cotton was king. Because of the yellow-fever epidemic and the resulting quarantine in the early 1800s, the area was abandoned for more than 100 years.

In the 1970s, Savannah Waterfront and its 200-year-old cobblestones were rediscovered, leading city planners and local landowners to transform the location and its empty warehouses into the lively and exciting Savannah River waterfront area you see today. With more than 80,000 square feet, the formerly abandoned warehouses of River Street house over 70 businesses, including art galleries, restaurants, shops, and much more. Since its refurbishment, River Street has become a busy and popular tourist attraction.
