Food Scene

There are plenty of BBQ resturants in Memphis but my favorite for a barbecue sandwich is Central BBQ. I recommend the pulled pork sandwich (you have to get it with slaw).

When I am in the mood for barbecue ribs I go The Bar-B-Q Shop. The ribs are tender and moist and fall off the bone. I like dry rub and barbecue sauce on the side. They come in regular or spicy hot.

A casual cousin of Chef Kelly English's Restuarant Iris (it is right next door). The Second Line offers delicious authentic New Orleans fare. I like the roast beef po'boy. On a nice day sit outside on the patio. You can enjoy a drink menu which includes local beers and some interesting herb infused artisan cocktails

They call it a cafe, but this cozy little restaurant is so much more. Known for its "comfort food" the Stone Soup Cafe offers breakfast & lunch. Everything is made on the premises, and some things including herbs and some veggies - come straight from the restaurant's garden.

Located on Mudd Island at the River Inn, Paulette’s features an inventive menu of French and Hungarian dishes along with regional eats. Take the elevator up from Paulette’s to the Terrace for a beautiful view of the Mississippi while enjoying cocktails and appetizers. It is a very classy atmosphere and delicious food.

A short walk brings you to a Memphis gem, Overton Park. This park offers many options. Walking and biking trails, a large playground for children, a small golf course, the Brooks Museum and Levitt Shell (free live music and entertainment).

A wonderful place to spend the day outdoors. Shelby Farms is about a 15 minute drive from Midtown Memphis. 4500 acres of green space and 10.65 miles of urban trails. It is a community treasure, unrivaled in size and potential anywhere else in the United States.

Take a walk on the wild side as you stumble up the psychdelic stair case leading you to 4 pool rooms, 3 overlooking Beale. Its quaint, cozy, intimate feel makes it the perfect spot to rack a few cues and enjoy a wide array of spirits. The internet juke box will keep you entertained with all your favorites, or take a bit to enjoy the world renowned collection of movie posters adorning the walls. Walk-ins are welcome and it's a great place for group gatherings.
