Savannah's
nightlife
is laid-back, if unusually strict about requiring ID. Everything is fairly close together, ranged between the City Market and the river. There's an annual
jazz festival
in late September. For information on this or other jazz events and venues, contact the Coastal Jazz Association at 912/232-2222; for
