Marshall-Monroe District, Memphis

Tucked between Madison & Union Ave., in Memphis, between Crosstown & Victorian Village, lies the Marshall-Monroe District.

Just turn off Union at world famous Sun Studios (706 Union) on to Marshall Ave.

Elvis Presley got his start there, too.

Gat a quiche at C-Lou Patton Restaurant (648 Marshall).

From beef & sausage to crab & vegetable - Quiche!

Don't miss Sun Studio. Do the tour. See the very spot where Sam Phillips recorded Elvis' "That's Alright (Mama)". This is a sweet part of Memphis' musical history.

Another must-see are the Memphis made guitars at Saint Blues Guitars, at their shop at 645 Marshall.

I want a cigar box guitar for my birthday, hint.

Then veer left onto Monroe for the classic Kudzu's experience (603 Monroe). I like the fried ravioli & a great ruben sandwhich. They also have live music most nights.
