Recently-opened restaurants
Locally Made Savannah
223 W. Broughton St.; locallymadesavannah.com
Life is better with sweets and so is Broughton Street. Locally Made Savannah, located just two doors down from The Ordinary Pub, opened March 16 just before this year's St. Patrick's Day festivities.
This is the newest Savannah venture for owners Tonya and Nick Rintye, who also own The Hipster Hound, a doggy daycare and boarding boutique in Savannah.
With a homegrown focus, the couple is showcasing local artisans and their work with items like accessories, plants and terrariums, clothing, housewares, and many more items you can purchase at the one-stop shop for all things local.
That includes a milkshake and soda bar where customers can enjoy milkshakes rolled in candy and topped with locally-made pastries. They also serve other locally-made food items.
