Money-Saving Tips for Memphis
- Eat ribs at Rendezvous (in a downtown alley) or Central BBQ — both institutions serving dry-rub style
- Catch live blues at Rum Boogie Cafe or BB King's on Beale Street for the real experience
- Graceland is worth it: the jungle room, his jet planes, and the meditation garden grave are genuinely moving
- The National Civil Rights Museum at the Lorraine Motel is essential and powerful
- Visit during shoulder season (April to June, September to October) for the best balance of weather and prices
