Don't go South! Go north on Airways (turns into Parkway) 3 or 4 miles. Take a left on Young St and at the intersection of Cooper & Young streets(the area is called mid-town) there are several great bars and restaurants.
Celtic Crossing, Cafe Ole, Soul Fish cafe, Young Street Deli, and several others.
South is just OK, and a longer drive!
Disco, lives out East/// I live South and have a house in Mid-Town... go north.

That is the Pan Am facility. That's where the ex Delta MD-11 will be set up. It's just a couple of months that we'll be using either FedEx or Centurian in Miami. The company put us up in Germantown then.

Concur with "go north" comments. Southaven is mostly fast-food and standard "chains", though Mi Pueblo on Elmore and Goodman is a family favorite. Two "Dives, Drive-Ins and Diner" hosts that i wouldn't miss are Tom's BBQ and Uncle Lou's Fried Chicken. I only go to UL's at lunchtime, as it's a war zone. Lots of ANG and ties there during lunch. Enjoy!

Definitely had to mid-town. Boscos on Madison has a very good Sunday brunch. The Celtic Crossing is an Irish pub with really. really good food, not to mention the waitresses provide good eye candy. there are many other spots in mid-town and worth the 4 or 5 mile drive. I live in Olive Branch MS. but go to Memphis for good food.
