    Despite being a hotel type of guy, I decided to take my friend's advice and stay in the Lee Suite of The James Lee House. Let me tell you - I am so glad I listened to my friend! Everything about my experience was extraordinary. The home itself is historically rich and tucked away from the hustle and bustle of downtown. Inside made you forget about city life by magically transporting you to an elegant experience. I enjoyed waiting for my Ubers in the grand living room that opens to inviting formal dining room, walking up and down the staircase as if I was billionaire businessman, and being treated like a king at a luxury breakfast served by the absolutely brilliant, generous, kind, and hospitable innkeeper/chef, Stacee. The Lee Suite, with plenty of room to host a party for 20 people, offered tremendous light through the huge windows, deep slumber with the stately bed with adjustable settings, and shower/soaking options galore in the huge bathroom! I can keep going on and on, but when you have the beautiful soul of Stacee tending to you and the house, you will leave a better human being. When you come to Memphis, stay at The James Lee House and tell Stacee that Tomlee sent you!

    Another great Victorian located in Memphis down near the Sun Studio. It is free to walk around and take photos but cost about $10 each to tour the inside. Great home !!!! History of the home: Set in Victorian Village, this elegant B&B housed in a grand mid-1800s Victorian Italianate mansion was once an arts college. It's next door to the Woodruff-Fontaine House Museum and 0.4 miles from Sun Studio. The 5 stylish suites feature soaring ceilings, fireplaces and sitting areas, plus flat-screen TVs and free WiFi. The updated bathrooms include refined touches like marble tilework, oversized tubs and walk-in showers.

    12 million stars for this @JamesLeeHouse Bed & Breakfast! Easily one of the nicest (if not THE nicest) hotel in Memphis by far...and they definitely have everyone beat in the bed and breakfast game! I literally thought I was stepping into a magazine. Like that YouTube kid said, "Is this real life?" (See here if you have no idea what I'm talking about: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=txqiwrbYGrs ) Nestled in the heart of Victorian Village at 690 Adams Avenue, this place is a game changer for Memphis - unique, beautiful, special. Stunning, really. I've always wanted a Gilded Age themed party...and I'm totally doing one here for my 30th birthday party because not only can you stay here...you can rent out the entire house for parties and then spend the night! Woohoo! Suites: Crosley (1st Floor): $275/night Harsson (2nd Floor): $320/night Goyer (2nd Floor): $295/night Lee (2nd Floor): $450/night Isabel (2nd Floor): $245/night Counting down the days until I can come back here again! Oh, and this place would be a totally mind blowing space for a rehearsal dinner...or proposal...

    Wonderfully comfortable bead and breakfast, the James Lee house has a select number of beautiful rooms and a very cordial and accommodating staff. High points, the rooms are beautiful and the breakfast is tasty. Jose, the owner is a wonderful host. Complimentary wifi and a beautiful service kitchen Notes: A very desirable place to relax and stay a few days, be aware of the check in and out times. Often times private B&B's as personal as this one have limited staff for such a well done turnaround. The Lee house also has a fine lower bedroom for those who find stairs troubling. A must stay in Memphis

    I've been here a time or two, and it gets more beautiful each time. The view is spectacular, and…read moremaybe even better, the prices are ridiculous. $3-$4 for a cocktail of your choice and pretty cheap bites if you're up to munching too - you really can't beat it. It's a great environment and a good place to grab a drink after work or just because. One might think that would constitute 5 stars, but time after time I've been here, the service continues to be subpar. It is not difficult to be pleasant. Try harder. I always feel like I'm inconveniencing the gentleman bartender who works many of the nights. I'm sorry you have to do your job; mine sucks sometimes too, but I manage a smile and a polite demeanor. But seriously, go. It's worth it.

    Holy moly! That view!…read more I attended the Special Olympics dinner here a year or two ago and was completely blown away by the view (especially at night...all those pretty lights!)...and yesterday (during the day) was no different (GORGEOUS!). I've heard rumors for awhile now that they a happy hour and it has been on my short list of things I want to try it. Well, yesterday I had a meeting in the bar area at 4 and decided to ring up a few friends after it was over to fully experience their happy hour. And honey, I'm so glad I did. Their house by the glass is only $4 and well liquor is $3. Tower Center, I think we're going to get along just fine (especially since my office is literally next door). But what really impressed me (besides that view), was the food! I am super picky about my cheese plates and not only was it pretty to look at, but it was yummy to eat (kinda important). And the chicken wings? Yes, please! They were so cute and tiny and delicious! I've actually never seen pretty chicken wings but somehow they managed to do it (no seriously, check out my photo). I also stole some bites of my dining partner's french fries and they were indeed just like I like 'em. And the pizza? Phenomenal! You've got to check out my food porn pics! They also rent out the venue space so take a peek around!

    I was invited to a Memphis Wedding Professionals networking event at Bing on Broad. It was my first…read moretime hearing of the venue, and I was pleasantly surprised to find something so modern and beautiful and clean on the strip on Broad Ave. The venue is nice and holds about 100 people comfortably. If they open both front doors they can hold up to 150 standing. This is a great little venue for a micro wedding or a birthday party or anniversary party, or perhaps a small reunion or retirement event. The owners are very sweet, and the manager of the venue was possibly even sweeter. The decor was done by the previous owner of the location when it was a couture dress shop. There are lots of mirrors which make for interesting photographs, and a nice contrast between dark and light in the decor. The space has good flow for a party and plenty of dance space for a DJ! Definitely add this venue to your list of ones to look at.

    Last night we rented Bing, it was a professional dinner with fun and dancing. The staff from Bing…read morewere SOOO well prepared!! Usually at a brand new venue there are a few hiccups caused simply because the staff and facility is so new that no one knows the quirks of the building, but there weren't any pain points or hiccups. The leadership staff was accommodating, friendly and professional. There were so many options of furniture to rent, everything looked beautiful. Great venue and great location! I would have an event there again in a heartbeat.
