Second Yelp night out! Thanks so much for the tickets! I…read morelearned alot about whiskey that night but...I forgot it all...darn that whiskey!!! I tasted the Piehole first and I know I said the Larceny 92 proof would be my last. Then I saw the second table of whiskey and gave in to the strawberry one since my soul was on fire from the Larceny still. What two whiskeys I had inbetween I can't remember. That Piehole was to die for though! Pecan Pie Whiskey?!?! I usually gag at the thought flavored whiskey but man that stuff was good. If you want to get a party started the quickest way would be the Larceny though haha. DONUTS. I came in knowing my favorite: Howard's all the way!!! But I found a new favorite: Jody's Donuts. The ladies from Jody's were so awesome (the only people I saw from the respective donut places) and I knew immediately that I had to ask about the one with bananas on it. They sold me on it and just when I regretted taking it, I took a bite and went into Elvis/doughnut/childhood memory nirvana. Gotta go by their shop now! Gibson's were actually on point that night even though I am usually the hated one in Gibson's debates.

I was here, and I wasn't really here... So much donuts and whiskey…read more.. Okay, settling down. I had to shoot some hoops to see if I was able to drive home. And since I missed majority of those shots, I suppose I am! Did you guys noticed that the Yelp panties are perfect for spider man cosplay? Who's going to be my Peter while I be your Mary Jane? Did Deanna just pack a whole box of donuts home? Above statements were part of the saved draft... So, I guess I had fun last night! Those pecan pie tasting whiskeys are killer. I'm also very happy that I tried donuts from 3 different vendors and donut holes from 2. Unfortunately, Gibson's took the crown and run away with it. Gibson's donuts are the best. Rec Room is awesome. I can't think of a better location for an event like this. Whiskey, donuts, and video games! Generation Y, represent!

The Crystal Shrine Grotto is a large man-made crystal cave hidden in the middle of Memorial Park…read moreCemetery in East Memphis. It was started in the 1930s by Mexican sculptor Dionicio Rodríguez and is covered with tons of quartz crystals, religious sculptures and biblical scenes depicting the life of Jesus as well as grottos, bridges, and concrete landscapes. After crossing into the cave you'll find scenes depicting: - The Nativity - The Last Supper - The Resurrection - Various Old and New Testament stories And it's all illuminated by colored lights reflecting off the crystal-covered walls. It's one of those things you have to see to fully appreciate and it's absolutely worth a visit. Admission is free and it's easy to find once in the cemetery (there's plenty of signs pointing the way) and parking is easy. Definitely don't miss this if you're in Memphis. Pro Tip: it's located near the grave of soul music legend Isaac Hayes so if you're into music history you may want to package the two stops together.

They always have banana pudding which is my favorite and it's such a fun place to look around while you wait in line. There are so many candies to look at and they even had some Labubu balloons my kids were asking for. It's a fun place. We love the Chicago mix popcorn! Checkout was easy and $16 for 4 ice creams was a very reasonable price IMO.

The Be end and Street of Blues Dreams!…read more Welcome to Beale Street in Memphis, Tennessee. Let the memories of the past be here in the present. The ghosts of the past are here are you ready to discover and see them. When in Memphis, this is a must! Well I don't drink! That's all right! They have mocktails if you need them. Or a mixed cocktail. Whatever wets your whistle. Hair of some sort of a dog. Now Beale Street is not Las Vegas, maybe during its hey days. Let's go back to circa 1920-1940s this was a black owned atmosphere that boomed. It shook all night with nightclubs, restaurants, theaters and of course the music. W.C. Handy and wrote" Mr Crump," being the Father of the Blues! He made the blues a word of mouth bit. Muddy Waters and Bb King among others performed in these juke joints. The blues thrived and made the area strong. At the beginning of the 1960s Beale Street fell into decay. Elvis was a regular visitor here moving to Memphis when he was only 13. He was signed to Sun Records in November of 1955. The likes of Beale Street were more the local screaming joy rather than a tourist attraction. In 1966, it was added to the national historic register to preserve the cultural significance and iconic heritage. In the 80s to the present day it's a great place to see. Be prepared to bring your actual identification card from your local place of residence or you will not be able to get through security. Vegas could learn from the heighten security measures here. Everyone shows id or you don't get in. They take security precautions and very strict measures here. It makes an individual feel safe. Wander and feel the effects of the blues viruses taking ahold of your soul.

Beale Street is the epitome of a tourist attraction/trap…read more It's a street with stores, bars, and restaurants geared towards visitors. However, there is some interesting and eye-catching street art to be admired. If you've never been to Memphis, check it out. Really no need to see it more than once.

I have been coming here since I was a kid in the 1960s so I have fond memories. It's a real piece…read moreof Americana from the turn of the century (nineteenth century that is). It's next to the old Jackson rail station which must have been a busy spot up until the 1950s. It's hard to imagine that the water from the well has been flowing continuously for over 100 years. It has a strong sulphur odor and I didn't taste it due to the "untreated" warning but I remember doing it as a kid and not liking the taste. Make sure to visit the railroad museum next door if it's open.

"It all started here in Memphis, for me, man, and it feels so good working in this studio." Elvis…read morePresley Ok Memphis, what a great city! The place where the blues truly belongs and came to fruition! Elvis gave that spark to the blues. That ability to sell it and make the flame glow even more.... Aretha Franklins home town! The queen of soul! Yes, some respect! The first women of all sorts. How about Bb King and so many others way before Elvis came and made this happen. Now there is tragedy here too! So many battles fought here. Blood stains this city. The many race riots of 1866. Then when Martin Luther King was killed here. What? The historical context in thin city is unclear for many. But still Memphis rises in all this chaos. In the past darkness exists, but that can fade and the world will reset and change again happens. We remember the past. The vision of Sun records and memories of Stax Records still here. The future is alive and bright because we keep it fresh. Connect with living history and whispers of the past. These stories are yours and mine.

Memphis is very nostalgic and contains a lot of music and great food culture. We walked around…read morebriefly on some nights after our events were over. It can be very careful in downtown Memphis. I highly recommend that tourists get good instructions from your hotel concierge about what places and areas you should and should not experience downtown. From BB King's Blues Club & Restaurant to Beale Street itself, all things are phenomenal. The Historic Lorraine Motel is also a few minutes away. It was such a positive cultural experience here in Memphis.

This hyped up Memphis spot is beautifully designed but disappointingly serves a subpar dinner. I…read morefully appreciate the cozy, low-lit interior. The vibe was upscale and elite, and the service was timely and attentive! The notes I have are solely regarding the dishes we ordered. My boyfriend and I split the Honey Gem salad, which was perfectly balanced and had delicious, sweet profiles. We then ordered the Chicken of the Sea Pizza, which was very questionable. Essentially, the pizza was just round garlic bread with a 3oz mound of sushi-grade tuna in the middle. The cold, raw tuna atop hot, oily cheese was not the combination I was expecting nor enjoyed (I was expecting cooked tuna, and for the pizza to lean more on an Asian flavor focus). This pizza was supposed to have a green goddess sauce/drizzle, but was unfortunately missing. I was hoping the sauce would help to round out the odd flavor pairings.

The first Thursday of every month, the businesses in the CY area stay open late and offer specials to those who attend the event. From 10% off to buy-one-get-one's to food and drink specials, there's definitely deals to be had. There's a live band in the gazebo area and random vendors of crafts and the like. Night Out draws a pretty decent-sized crowd, and this crowd is genuinely excited to be there supporting their neighborhood. That's something I can get behind. Kudos to the residents of CY.
