Enhanced members across the metro. Every category has its own section further down.

Restaurants & Food in Memphis

Memphis eats in neighborhoods rather than in one district. Cooper-Young and Overton Square carry Midtown, South Main and the blocks off Beale hold downtown, and Summer Avenue and Broad Avenue run east with some of the least touristed cooking in the city. Barbecue is the obvious draw and it is worth knowing that many of the best rooms keep short hours and close when they sell out. Several businesses here are catering or counter service rather than dining rooms, so check how to order.

Beauty & Personal Care in Memphis

Salons, barbers, spas and skincare across Memphis. Most work by appointment and book through an app, with a deposit normal for longer services. Several practitioners rent a suite inside a larger studio building, so the address may be shared and it is worth confirming where to arrive.

Arts & Entertainment in Memphis

Galleries, studios and live entertainment across Memphis. The arts here run through South Main, Broad Avenue and Crosstown as much as through Beale Street, and much of it works on exhibitions and bookings rather than shop hours. Check a calendar rather than a sign on the door.

Events & Weddings in Memphis

Planners, caterers, florists and entertainment covering Memphis and Shelby County. Weddings crowd into spring and autumn here because of the summer heat, and vendors book with the venues. Most of these businesses travel across the metro, so ask about a service radius rather than reading it off the address.

Marketing & Creative in Memphis

Photographers, designers and production people working across Memphis. Most travel to the client or shoot on location, so a portfolio and a service radius matter more than an address. Music and event work runs through this category as much as portraits do, which is worth knowing when comparing rates.
