waving girl

is this still a safe area for late morning coffee stop??? awaiting comments especially fro Savannah Bruce...thanks

The "Waving Girl" statue is located at the end of River Street, near the waterfront in Savannah. This area is quite popular with both tourists and locals, especially in the mornings when it's a great spot to grab a coffee and enjoy the view. The area around the Waving Girl statue is generally safe, especially during the day and late morning. It's a busy part of Savannah with a lot of foot traffic, so you're likely to feel comfortable stopping for coffee in that area.

That said, as with any downtown area, it's always good to stay aware of your surroundings. The River Street area is usually safe, but like any city, it’s best to keep an eye on your belongings and avoid any isolated spots, especially later in the evening or early mornings when it may be quieter. Most of the popular coffee spots nearby are located in well-trafficked areas, so you'll be fine for a morning stop.

  • Cafe Nola - A cozy café not far from the Waving Girl statue that serves great coffee and is a popular spot for both locals and visitors.
  • The Collins Quarter - Located a short walk from the Waving Girl statue, it's an excellent place for a coffee and some breakfast, and it’s a favorite among Savannah locals.
  • River Street Sweets - While known for its candy and sweets, it's a good place to grab a quick coffee as well, and the area is generally safe and welcoming in the morning hours.

So, yes, the area near the Waving Girl statue is generally safe for a late morning coffee stop, especially if you're visiting well-populated cafes. If you’re unfamiliar with the area, it’s always a good idea to walk with someone if possible or be mindful of your surroundings, but overall, it should be a pleasant and safe experience.
