Having spent a large few of years living in the Memphis area, I am excited to share and to spend a few moments sharing some simple facts about the city itself, as well as a few interesting sites worth taking a look at. I am assuming, hopefully not erroneously, that the reader is not familiar with Memphis, Tennessee found in the southern United States and may be considering a visit.
If so, great! It is a truly fortunate person who gets to visit a number of cultural hot-spots Memphis, TN has to offer for the first time. Hopefully you'll come back and visit more often!
One of my very favorite places to visit in Memphis, Tennessee when I'm looking to get a bite to eat is the Cooper Young area. The Cooper-Young district -- as well as the greater Memphis area as a whole -- has a number of places to dine that are completely unique to Memphis, and you won't find represented in any other city. With the exception of Memphis, of course!
The Cooper-Young neighborhood has Young Ave Deli, for example. The Young Ave Deli has won awards-o-many for its food, has a great beer selection. Young Avenue Deli has been called one of the best places to see live music in the greater Memphis area. In addition to the food, beer, the awesome atmosphere, and music it also has a smoke shop.
The Cooper Young area also has Memphis' most well-known pub... Celtic Crossing. Celtic Crossing has been known to have fantastic food, great beer, a cool pub atmosphere, and lots of events. The Celtic Crossing weekly events include, but are not limited to: live music, pub quiz night, and a brunch on Sundays. The patio is a fun place to hang out too on cooler spring days.
Of course, things to do in Memphis aren't limited to only the restaurants in the Cooper-Young area. There's a number of popular museums worth checking out as well.
The Pink Palace is one such museum in the Memphis, TN locale. The Pink Palace story begins with the building of a palatial nearly 37k square-foot estate in the early part of the 20th century by the founder of the Piggly Wiggly grocery chain named Claurence Sanders. At the time Saunders named the future home (though he didn't know it at the time) of the Pink Palace Museum "Cla-Le-Clare" but it was nicknamed "Pink Palace" by the peoples of Memphis, Tennessee who were able to see its building within clear view from Central Avenue.
Clarence Saunders and his family never did end up being able to live in the mansion, however. Clarence Saunders lost his huge fortune, and the house was acquired by another company which later donated the house to the city of Memphis, TN. It opened as the Memphis Museum of Natural History and Industrial Arts in the year 1930.
If so, great! It is a truly fortunate person who gets to visit a number of cultural hot-spots Memphis, TN has to offer for the first time. Hopefully you'll come back and visit more often!
