    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.

    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.

    Restaurant Name
    Half Shell
    Description
    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.
