United Services Organizations (USO) have been helping U.S. service members and their families for over 65 years—providing morale, welfare and recreational services. Savannah’s USO operates out of the Savannah/ Hilton Head Airport and frequently participates in deployment activities at Hunter Army Airfield. The USO offers refreshments and beverages as well as toiletries, books, incidentals and other items for Soldiers to take with them in flight. Most importantly, USO volunteers send them off with flags, hugs, and words of encouragement. The USO is a nonprofit, charitable organization, relying on the generosity of the American people to support its programs and services.
The New South Café features regional southern cuisine with a gourmet twist. "Come, Let Us Feed YOU!" is the slogan for this fine dining establishment operated by owner, Chef Matt Cohen, a fifth generation Savannah native, and Executive Chef Scott Gordon, both graduates of the prestigious Culinary Institute of America (CIA) in NY. The menu showcases Georgia’s finest food, from wild shrimp to Vidalia onions. These amazing Chefs also offer catering services for corporate events, conventions, private parties, weddings, receptions & bar mitzvahs.
