Fiddledeedee. Labor Day around the corner and one long weekend left to your name. What shall you do? Slink off to Savannah for some R&R, B&B, and a little T&A. (As in travel and architecture. Duh.)

Good Eats
Jump-start the day with homemade coffeecake from The Sentient Bean (13 East Park Avenue; 912-232-4447). Then hit The Lady & Sons (102 West Congress Street; 912-233-2600) for fresh seafood, hoecake cornbread, fried chicken, and sweet potatoes by Paula Deen and clan.

Moon River Brewing Company (21 West Bay Street; 912-447-0943) gets creative, with beers like Wild Wacky Wit (a white variety spiced with Curacao and bitter orange peel). Elizabeth on 37th (105 East 37th Street; 912-236-5547) is some of the best old-guard fine dining around.

Counting Sheep
The themed rooms at The President’s Quarters (225 East President Street; 912-233-1600) will have you asking “Millard Fillmore who?” before your head hits the pillow. Catch the vapors at The Kehoe House (123 Habersham Street; 912-232-1020), where the daily tea service will restore you.

Fine Treats
Hipster boutique James Gunn (112 West Broughton Street, 912-790-7500) carries Arden Amelia, Nügaard Designs, Single, Corey Lynn Calter, and others.

Shop Skylark: Fine EuroDesign (319 West Broughton Street; 912-234-4454) for Scandinavian silver, but don’t miss the corsets and peignoirs at the other end of the shop. The Paris Market & Brocante (36 West Broughton Street; 912-232-1500) stocks vitrines, chandeliers, and vintage jewelry by Lulu Bird.

Feel free to be a brainiac among the dusty shelves at The Book Lady (6 East Liberty Street; 912-233-3628) and get the jump on new designers at shopSCAD (340 Bull Street; 912-525-5180), where you’ll swoon over the lovely wares by Cuyler Hovey-King and Working Class Studio.

Hip Beats & Haunted Streets
Mingle with cute waiters and hear live music at Jazz’d tapas bar (52 Barnard Street; 912-236-7777). Double up on spirits on the Savannah Haunted Pub Crawl, a bar-hopping, ghost story-swapping tour of the historic district. Channel your inner Girl Scout (minus green dress and cookies) at their birthplace, the Juliette Gordon Low Birthplace (10 East Oglethorpe Avenue; 912-233-4501).

Well, we declare. Southern hospitality never looked so good.
