With the summer heat gone and the beautiful, late fall weather here in the mid-south, it’s a great time of year to come to Memphis to experience the infamous Beale Street. Some call Beale Street a “mini Bourbon Street” and for good reason: just as in NOLA, you can meander up and down Beale Street with a libation in hand, enjoying live music wafting into the street from it’s many restaurants, clubs and bars. Or just sit back in a lawn chair at W.C. Handy Park at the center of Beale Street and listen to any of the live bands playing on stage throughout the day. Beale Street is home of the blues, the birthplace of rock n’ roll, known for its world famous BBQ, full of history and offers first class entertainment. Don’t take my word for it — take a trip to Memphis now for a truly unique and unforgettable experience.
