Hey Y'All, Avia Savannah's A-Comin'

Where: 14 Barnard Street [map], Savannah, GA, United States, 31401

Life works in mysterious ways. Just as we were shoving one of Paula Deen’s red velvet cupcakes with cream cheese frosting down our throats, we find out about Avia Savannah—which has Bobby Deen, Paula’s son, on its list of tastemakers! Not quite sure what an Avia tastemaker is just yet, but crazy, right?!

We dug a little bit and apparently Avia has reached out to celebrated locals to get their insider recommendations for the surrounding areas of its hotels, and the Savannah outpost—the first of four Avia-branded hotels to open in 2009—is conveniently located just steps from The Lady & Sons, Paula’s flagship restaurant, which we happened to stop by last Labor Day and were confronted with an hour-long wait for a table at 11:30 a.m. The restaurant opens at 11 a.m. So we’ll say that so far, Avia Savannah has got at least one thing right.
