My favorite Italian downtown
Catherine & Mary's
Why choose one entree (or app, or dessert) when you can choose 3??
Flight Restaurant and Wine Bar
My PERSONAL favorite BBQ spot. But skip the location on Poplar Ave, it's not as good as the others.
Central BBQ - Slow Smoked Memphis Style BBQ
The best Dim Sum spot in the area! Their Xao Long Bao & Shrimp and Chive dumplings are to DIE for.
Dim Sum King
Delicious seafood in the middle of Memphis!
Coastal Fish Company
Their new smash burger is *chef's kiss*!
Huey's Burger | Memphis
It may not look like anything special, but their fajita fries are AMAZING

Memphis Zoo
A cool part of town to visit, great restaurants, unique shops.
Broad Avenue Arts District
Tour the studio used by B B King, Elvis, Johnny Cash, Roy Orbison, Jerry Lee Lewis, and so many more
Sun Studio
The Gotta Get Up to Get Down coffee stout is one of the very few beers I will drink

Parts of this museum can be difficult, but it is a very important look at the Civil Rights Movement.
Lorraine Motel
Our local theater companies are SO phenomenal!
Theatre Memphis
When I tell y'all the theater scene in town is great, I'm so serious!!!
So… I don't know if I'd recommend staying here, but it is an absolute MUST visit. See the ducks march to their fountain or back to their home on the roof again. Shop in their boutiques, eat in their restaurant, or have a drink at the bar.
One of the largest city parks in the US, Shelby Farms is FIVE TIMES the size of Central Park. Visitors can hike, bike, boat, fish, go horseback riding, visit the bison, tackle the ropes course, and dine.
Shelby Farms Park
Broadway caliber shows at NOT Broadway prices!
