We are on the air at the Genre Memphis, your “musical timeline passport,” and we are soaring through time with multi-genre music and a good ole’ meal.

But this transit doesn’t stop with eras, if you take a couple of steps out of the Genre, you will find yourself at their adjacent speakeasy, The Garage: The Cocktail Experience.

The sister hotels may be connected but they both offer different experiences whether you want to relax or cut loose.

It’s ok to be odd. That’s the motto of ODDS Atelier, the eclectic streetwear brand and boutique owned by Cornelius Martin and Matthew Roumain. Branded as “The People’s Streetwear Store”, ODDS was founded in 2019, with the retail space opening on South Main Street in 2021.

Downtown Memphis has a new restaurant but the face behind it is a familiar one.

The Lobbyist is open for business! This new modern restaurant is all about bringing in natural and local ingredients to bring out extraordinary flavors. Their mission is to provide food that is a reflection of who we are and where we come from with a melting pot approach of culture and global styles.

Memphis is overflowing with talented, creative artisans, and one of my favorites to visit is Brit McDaniel, founder and owner of Paper & Clay. Founded in 2013, Paper & Clay is both a modern, handmade ceramics brand, and a cute brick & mortar gift shop located downtown at 535 S. Main Street.

In addition to her own handmade wares, Brit has curated a beautiful gift shop filled with indie brands and products that compliment her Scandinavian + Mid-Century design aesthetic.

*Editor's note: Primas Bakery + Boutique moved locations to East Memphis. You can find them at 734 Mt Moriah Rd with all the same beloved treats and goodies.

One of Memphis' best charcuterie, cheese, and vegan snack board shop and cafe.

I’ve said many times before that I could survive solely on a charcuterie board, and especially if it’s a specialty board from Feast & Graze. 

Editor's Note (2/12/24): Feast & Graze can now be found at the Brooks Museum with a Poplar Plaza store coming soon. Photos and some information in this blog may reflect the first location. Be sure to visit their new spot!
