The ARRIVE hotel in downtown Memphis has a lineup of food and drink concepts to serve you day and night. In the lobby you'll find the coffee shop Vice & Virtue and cafe, Hustle & Dough, along with Bar Hustle and the check-in desk all in one cozy, eclectic room.

Downstairs is home to Longshot, a basement bar with lots of booths and several shuffleboard tables that serves dinner, drinks, and beer.

Let's break it down.

Whenever the temperature climbs above 65-ish degrees—which feels like it's about 95 percent of the year in Memphis—locals pack up their pups and pals and head to the patios.

It's almost like there's a silent call that goes out to the entire city PATIO PEOPLE, ASSEMBLE! because there is nothing us Mid-Southerners love more than eating and drinking outside.

The Candlelight Vigil is Elvis Week's main event, and the only one that completely captures the week's unique blend of reverence, kitsch, and fun. It's also one of those things that you've got to do at least once before you die.

Assignment #224 in the 365 Things to Do in Memphis is to queue up at the gates of Graceland for the Candlelight Vigil.

Ed. Note: October 3, 2021 is the last day or get a lobster roll or lobster bisque at Slider Inn, at least until the spring! 

I know that you probably are addicted to the sliders or the nachos at the Slider Inn, but I have to recommend that on at least one trip, you skip the sliders and go for the lobster roll.
