Edible Memphis spotlights the restaurateurs, purveyors and small business owners who create Memphis’s dining and nightlife scene.

I love listening to music, and there are tons of live shows here. And there’s always activity happening, from barbecue festivals to blues festivals to the big Memphis in May celebrations. There are unique and fun things going on here that other cities of our size just don’t offer.

Mural that says I Love Memphis

Memphis has an abundance of street art like this mural on Cooper Street.

Here in Memphis, there’s a culture of warmth and friendliness. I can walk along the street and feel welcomed. I love music and the free concerts at Overton Park; when I’m there, I feel a sense of belonging—families hanging out together and kids running around.
