My wife and I will be celebrating my wife’s 50th birthday in Memphis later this month. She knows we are going away, but doesn’t know where. But she doesn’t read Coverage Opinions so there is no chance that I’m ruining the surprise.

If any Memphis readers out there can kindly send me some recommendations for their favorite restaurants (barbecue for sure) and bars for music I’d really appreciate it. Also, any neat places to see that I wouldn’t know about just following the usual tourist plan. Thanks so much. I really appreciate it.
