Michael Skaff’s work caught my attention before I even knew his name. On a recent visit to the Peregrine rooftop bar at the Perry Lane Hotel, a wall of foxtail ferns, cascading variegated ivy, brilliant red bromeliads and crimson-tipped succulents bloomed around a wooden sign bearing the bar’s name.
You know you’ve arrived when Oprah Winfrey wears one of your designs, and Kristen Baird has arrived. Oprah wore one of Baird’s “Splash Cuff” bracelets — an organically textured, silver band with a gemstone at each terminal — on the air multiple times. It has come to be known as the “Oprah Cuff.”
Mo Dixon does more before nine a.m. than most people do in a day.
In the restaurant industry, Sysco dominates the food supply market. They provide the tomatoes that make the sauce at your favorite Italian restaurant down the street and probably the salt, pepper, sugar and eco-friendly drinking straws as well. The name “Sysco” might jog a faint memory of a passing silver semi-truck emblazoned with their red and blue logo on the highway, but that is probably the extent of the mental space Sysco occupies in most people’s minds.
An ACL tear used to be a debilitating injury for a dog, but with revolutionary surgery techniques and proper physical therapy, Dr. Paul Shealy is getting them back on their paws.
The scent of freshly baked cookies warms the lobby of Beyond Exceptional Dentistry. Sun filters in through vaulted skylights. Chilled water arrives in a gold-tipped, stemless glass. Refreshments are on offer for patients to ease anxiety. Smooth jazz plays in the background, and everyone is friendly. This is not your typical dentist’s office.
Three athletes who live, breathe and eat fitness reveal their secrets on how they achieve a top level of performance. Finding the motivation is half the battle. Becoming a top athlete doesn’t happen overnight. It takes commitment, years of it. These athletes dedicate their lives (or at least substantial parts of them) to training their muscles, fueling their bodies and honing their minds for competition.
Every year on the Saturday before Thanksgiving, the extended Rahn family gathers with friends, significant others, and a random acquaintance or two around a massive cast-iron kettle watching cane juice boil into syrup.
By many accounts, the story of the SS Savannah, the first steam-powered ship to cross the Atlantic, is one of failure. The ship was ahead of its time, a popular sensation, but an expensive, inefficient one.
Dr. Tim Connelly’s life story has all the makings of a blockbuster movie. He and his mother found themselves homeless when his biological father came out as gay in Pittsburgh in the 1970s.
Savannah’s drinking culture is robust and well-established. Legend has it that George Washington had such a hangover after drinking our Chatham Artillery Punch that he vowed he would never return to Savannah.

I turned a corner at my local antique shop, and there it was: the most beautiful, midcentury modern dining room table, the deep walnut polished to a perfect shine, a subtle curve to the edge, geometric legs that said, “Don Draper would dine here.”
The first time Levon played Palmetto Bluff, they recall tossing around pinecones the size of footballs on the lawn at Field + Fire. The second time, it was one of the hottest days of summer.
They slobber all over your Sunday best, leave little treasures of the mouse variety on your welcome mat, and do their business on the living room floor. They ruin the furniture, chew the shoes, and knock over Grandma’s antique vase. But if you’re a dog mom or a cat dad, or even one of those iguana people (we won’t judge), you know it’s all worth it.
It’s the end of my second week on the job as the marketing manager for Palmetto Bluff, and I’m careening down a dirt path, white knuckles gripping the handlebars of a Felt off-road bike
Après-ski or après a fabulous meal, Chef Ray’s Spiced Hot Chocolate is a decadent treat.
