Essential Memphis

Memphis, Tennessee 2014

Of course we took in the sites while visiting Memphis. Some highlights:

Arcade Restaurant

We had breakfast at the Arcade Restaurant, which, we were told, was Elvis’ favorite hangout. And of course, we ate at his favorite booth.

The Lorraine Motel

The Lorraine Motel, site of the assassination of Martin Luther King, is now the site of the National Civil Rights Museum. The museum is built around the facade of the original motel.


Graceland

No trip to Memphis would be complete without a visit to Graceland. We didn’t actually go into Graceland. We didn’t have time and the lines were a tad long.

Celtic Crossing

This Brian Boru harp was at Celtic Crossing. Loved it!
