Don't miss Mud Island and the Pink Palace. There are also tours in The Pyramid and the best Bar-B-Que in America

What ages are the travellers? For younger ones, I've heard the "Ride the Ducks" tours are fun. Older ones, check out Sun Studio - where so many greats got their start, the Stax museum and the Rock & Soul Museum, and the National Civil Rights Museums (built from the motel where MLK was assassinated) are also must-sees. Definitely eat some 'cue - Local favorites include Corky's and the Rendezvous. There is great higher-end dining - Felicia Suzanne's, Erling Jensen, Stella are some of my favorites. Any other topics of particular interest to you? Enjoy!

The clubbing scene in Memphis is stunningly mediocre. Clubs don't stay good for very long there. The word gets out and all the yokels from the surrounding towns ruin it. (Most tourists miss Hollywood Rayford's downtown, which is probably one of the best places for clubbing.) Senses, which was fun for about six months, is on Poplar around Midtown and might have something going on - they have themes on different nights. During the warmer months, they have the Rooftop Party at the Peabody. Most of the people are too dressed up to have much fun there. If you want BBQ go to a small hole in the wall for a real experience. Triple AAA baseball, anyone? Consider other destinations.
