Memphis Tips:

Nashville gets all the Tennessee credit for music cities but Memphis does a good job competing. Be sure to check out the live music, especially the blues!

Adventures & Ales Top Recommendations:

The Lorraine Motel: This is the sight of MLK Jr's assassination and it has been transformed into a civil rights museum
The Peabody Hotel: Check out the ceremony with ducks that is hilarious and adorable. Get there early or you won't be able to see anything!
Wiseacre Brewery: Tiny Bomb is their most famous but they've got other delicious beers as well!
Check out the Overton Square area, a hip little area with lots of bars and restaurants!

The Classic Tourist Spots Actually Worth Visiting:

Graceland: Elvis's home is crazy expensive. As a non-dedicated Elvis person, I did not want to pay to go in so I just went around the grounds and such. It was still cool to see, totally your call on your level of Elvis fandom on whether it is worth it
Beale Street: You have to at least walk down it once and check out some blues music, but otherwise I'd head elsewhere to enjoy your evening
