If you thought Memphis was only known for Elvis and barbecue, guess again. This
is a place that mixes historic charm with a modern mentality. There's
something for everyone here, even vegans. Here my top 15 favorite things to do in
the city of Memphis. Welcome to M town, Memphis, Tennessee.
Hey! Hey! 1. Cruise around Memphis in style with rockabilly rides. I pretty much felt
like a celebrity in his dreamy 1955 Plymouth Belvedere. Okay hello apparently
this is my ride for the tour. We got so many looks and for good reasons, I mean
just look at this bad boy. This tour will make you feel like you're going back
into time as you explore the rich musical past of Memphis. They offer
several private experiences but I did the Red Hot & Blue tour which let me
relive the early days of Elvis before and during his rise to fame. 2. Visit the
legendary Sun Studio. Now this place has the claim of being the birthplace of
rock and roll. You'll stand in the same place where music legends like Elvis, BB
King and John Cash recorded some major hits. They do 45-minute tours every day
between the hours of 10:00 and 6:00
3. Go to the Stax Museum of American Soul. Now if you want to experience the
studio that's pretty much synonymous with southern soul music then Stax is
where you want to go facts legends includes Isaac Hayes and Otis Redding
who sang one of my favorites song, Sitting on the Dock of the Bay. 4. Hit
up Beale Street all this summer until September you can experience Bike Nights
on Beale. Every Wednesday night thousands of motorcycle enthusiasts descend on the
area and you can watch them cruise by you on America's most iconic street
Honestly no matter what night you go and Beale Street it's always poppin
5. Experience live music. If you can't tell by now from this video Memphis is
all about the music and remember Brad from Rockabilly Rides? Turns out he's
also a musician so he invited me out to hear him perform live at Blues City where
he killed it. The man really knows how to work an audience y'all. 6. The Peabody
rooftop party. Beale Street isn't the only place to hit up at night. Summertime
is rooftop party season at the Peabody Hotel so if you like a good party with
live music then the Peabody is where you need to be
at on a Thursday night. 7. Stay at the Peabody. On top of throwing the best
rooftop party it's actually one of the most famous hotels in Memphis. It's a
luxury hotel with old-school charm and it's even a part of the historic hotels
of America making this more than just a hotel but an important Memphis landmark
Oh and they have this really big obsession with ducks, like really big
which brings me to number eight. Watch the Peabody ducks. You don't have to be a
hotel guest to see the number one thing that the Peabody is famous for, its daily
duck March. Meet the most pampered ducks in Tennessee. Every morning at 11 they
march down to the hotel lobby fountain where they play all day and then at
5pm they march right back on up to their rooftop palace. 9. Rent a bike.
Memphis unleashed a very new bike-share program like literally the day that I
arrived here so I'm super stoked because you guys know I like to stay
active when I travel and I'm super excited to try this out so I'm gonna
go ahead and get on one of these and take it around
They have bike stations all over the city and they're super simple to use
Okay so first things first you basically download the Bcycle app and then it's
going to ask you to login and you would tap this screen to find out the code of the
bike that you want to unlock and then you enter that code into here and it
unlocks the bike and then you can start writing it. 10. Walk to Arkansas. Did
you know that Memphis is just a hop skip and a jump away from the state of
Arkansas? Yeah you can literally walk across the big river crossing the
longest pedestrian bridge across the Mississippi River. 11. Hang out at the
Crosstown Concourse. The building was constructed in 1927 as a Sears
distribution center but then shut down in the 90s as a result of the decline in
the mail-order business. Years later it was transformed into what you see today
a mixed use vertical urban village. I came here at least twice stuff my face
and also to walk around and admire the art. 12. Walk around the Broad Avenue Arts
District. Where my art lovers at? This one's for you. It's filled with over 70
locally owned businesses like boutique shops art galleries, bars, cool stuff like
that. I was able to duck into this artsy looking bar that was literally called
the Liquor Store where I simply asked for their most Instagrammable cocktail
and voila it didn't disappoint. After grabbing a drink I walked in and out of
all these cute little shops and I swear everything just spoke to my soul like
this and this oh yeah both of these two oh yeah definitely this, although this is
me 90% of the time. 13. Explore Overton Square. Okay so welcome to Midtown
Memphis food lovers and art lovers alike are going to love this
place and you guys know if you follow me on Instagram, that t I love art and this is
where it's all at. Not only can you sign up for an art tour here you can also eat
to your heart's content at the huge variety of restaurants they have in the
area. 14. Eat good food. While we're on the topic of good restaurants can I just say
I ate so good in Memphis. While a lot of people come here ready to devour
barbecue I ended up dining at a ton of vegan and vegan friendly joints which
I'll be gushing about in a separate video that will be all about the
amazing vegan food scene in Memphis. And finally 15, visit the National Civil
Rights Museum. Gloria from the Blog Abroad wrote an amazing piece about her
experience here and it inspired me to visit as well. The museum will guide you
through five centuries of history from the beginning of the resistance during
slavery all the way to the events of the late 20th century that inspired people
all around the world to stand up for equality. Wanna see more of my travel
