Bring your appetites to Memphis. Experience the famed Memphis-style ribs at Central BBQ. Fried chicken fans can sample a spicy variety at Gus’s World Famous Fried Chicken. Make a reservation at Bishop, a French restaurant from James Beard Award finalists.
If you’re more of an outdoorsy family, check out Memphis Zoo, with more than 3,500 animals representing 500 species. Set on 96 acres, Memphis Botanic Gardens boasts rotating special exhibits.
