Myself having spent a large number of years in the Greater Memphis area, I am excited to spend a few moments sharing some basic information about the city of Memphis itself, as well as interesting places worth taking a moment to check out. I am assuming, of course, that the reader is not familiar with Memphis, Tennessee and may be considering a visit.
If I have made this presumption correctly, congratulations! It's a fortunate person who gets to visit a number of cultural hot-spots in Memphis, Tennessee for the very first time. Hopefully you'll come back and visit more often!
One of the many places to visit in Memphis, TN when I'm looking to get a bite to eat is the Cooper Young area. The Cooper-Young district has a number of places to eat and drink that are completely unique to Memphis, and you won't find represented in any other city. With the exception of Memphis, of course!
For starters, the Cooper-Young region has Young Ave Deli. The Young Avenue Deli has won awards-o-many for its food, has a great selection of everyone's favorite brew -- beer, and has been called one of the very best places to see live music in Memphis, Tennessee. In addition to the food, beer, and live music it also has a smoke shop.
The Cooper Young district also has Memphis' most famous pub: Celtic Crossing. Celtic Crossing has been known to have great food, great beer, a cool pub atmosphere, and lots of events every week. The Celtic Crossing monthly events include, but are not limited to: live music, pub quiz night, and a brunch on Sundays. The patio is a cool place to hang out too .
Of course, things to do in Memphis aren't limited to just 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 example of a museum in the Memphis, TN region. The Pink Palace museum began with the building of a palatial 36,500 square-foot estate in 1922 by the founder of the Piggly Wiggly grocery chain named Claurence Sanders. Originally 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 who were able to see its construction within view from Central Avenue.
Clarence Saunders never did end up being able to live in the palace. Mr. Saunders lost his huge fortune, and the palace was acquired by another company which donated the house to the city of Memphis for use as a museum. In 1930 it opened as the Memphis Museum of Natural History and Industrial Arts
