Memphis



Attraction Name
Beale St
Description
Quite a happening place with lots of bars and restaurants. Good live music (usually blues) is played, but there's typically a cover charge to get into the bars.

Often at night, they'll rope off the streets so that you can walk around without fear of getting plowed over.

Restaurant Name
Corky's BBQ  (http://www.corkysmemphis.com)
Description
Try the dry BBQ at this downtown place, part of a local chain. The dry BBQ has a great rub on it and is an interesting change from the BBQ with all of the sauce.

Restaurant Name
Felicia Suzannes Restaurant
Description
It's American cuisine with a southern style. I had some great seafood (sea bass) and the wine list was excellent. Only open Tues through Saturday, though you can probably get a seat walking in Tues-Thurs.

Definitely get the catfish dinner. It's a cornmeal crust with some very tasty catfish, hush puppies (excellent!) and homemade fries. The po-boys were excellent as well.

Half Shell

Very busy seafood restaurant in the "FedEx district" of Memphis. They get quite busy for lunch, so get there early.

I especially enjoyed the po-boys. I had a catfish po-boy, which was quite good.
