Take a trolley ride through the Downtown Loop, pose in front of the many Memphis themed murals, and check out the local vendors! You might even meet a ghost or two at the iconic Ernestine and Hazel's....you'll definitely need their famous Soul Burger after an encounter with the haunted juke box!

Slavery. Separate but equal. Boycotts. Assassinations. Black power. This is the history of the uprising that pushed national and international civil rights forward.

Voted one of the best zoos in the nation...seriously! Be sure to say hi to Molly's favorites, the pandas!
Brewery Tours
Memphis has been a hub of local craft breweries since before it was cool! Spend a day brewery hopping and get a different taste of the 901. Ben is a big fan of Memphis Made, High Cotton, and Wiseacre.
Overton Sqaure
Spend your day off like a true Memphian! Located in the heart of the Memphis Theater District, Overton Square offers a great range of locally-owned shopping, dining, and entertainment. From sophisticated cocktails to kid-friendly fun and nightly live music, Overton Square has something for everyone. Molly and Ben like to indulge in cajun-inspired cuisine at the Second Line and then dance the night away at Lafayette's Music Room!
The Dixon Gallery and Gardens
Is fine art more your thing? Memphis hosts a slew of art museums and botanic gardens, but none hold a candle to the The Dixon. Take in the collection of Impressionist art, and then stroll through their seventeen acres of lush gardens. This is Molly's happy place!!
