Yesterday, we did not get a chance to visit any
recommended bars or restaurants so today we went exploring. We went on Beale
Street which is a pedestrian street similar to Bourbon St on New Orleans. There
is music playing in every bar and people walk around with their large beers or
cocktails. Music is very loud but also very lively. The big difference between
here and Bourbon street is that there are no necklaces for the ladies to
"earn" and also a lot less junk everywhere.
For supper, we went to the Charles Vergos Restaurant,
which is highly recommended in all the travel magazines as having the best ribs
in the city. The BBQ sauce in Memphis is vinegar based but we found that there
was simply too much vinegar, so we did not enjoy as much as last night's ribs.
The place was packed but the service was quick. The most bizarre thing that we
saw was that the ribs were served on paper plates and they gave us plastic utensils,
but they had linen napkins.  |
