Things to do in Memphis?

I know there's a thread some where around here about this, but I couldn't find it. Other than Graceland and Sun Studio, what else is there to do in Memphis? Just looking for some cool ideas to do during the day before the PJ show. Thanks!

Don't get shot.

I kid, I kid.
but seriously, don't get shot :-)

Memphis Zoo. Civil Rights museum. Gibson Guitar factory(they make the hollow bodies there). Mud Island. BBQ Are you a golfer? if so and got time, Miramichi is a fantastic course about 15min drive NE of downtown. Ranked #1 public course in TN. Tunica is about a 30-40min drive south

If you have transportation I cannot recommend enough Commissary. Best BBQ I have ever had. And way better then the tourist trap bbq places downtown: http://www.commissarybbq.com/

Downtown, Gus's Fried Chicken is also incredible.

Also, Sun Records Studios is an AMAZING tour. You HAVE to visit Graceland and Beale Street.

It started when we were dancing
It got heavy when we got to the bathroom
We didn't go back to her place
We went to some place where she cat-sits

She said, "I know I look tired
But every thing's fried here in Memphis"

Now they want to know exactly which bathroom
Dude, does it make any difference? It can't be important
Yeah, sure I'll tell my story again

In bar light she looked alright
In daylight she looked desperate
That's alright, I was desperate too
I'm getting pretty sick of this interview

I think she drove a new Mustang
I guess it might be a rental
I remember she had satellite radio
I guess she seemed a bit nervous, do you think I'm that stupid?

Oh what the hell, I'll tell the story again

In bar light she looked alright
In daylight she looked desperate
That's alright, I was desperate too
I'm getting pretty sick of this interview

We love going to the Flying Fish downtown.

Went there for a bachelor party this past May and had a blast. Stax is by far the coolest of the music spots. Honestly I might stay away from Beale. There were a couple better areas imo to bar hop. It had been awhile since I had been there but now they were wanding and patting down people on the weekends. Grab some BBQ nachos from central BBq and go out to Germantown commisionAry for bbq if you have a chance. Grab a soul burger or two at Earnsteins and haZel. If you are into records checkoit Goner or shangri la
