Hunt Phelan House
533 Beale St, 525-8225
It’s now an inn and fabulous restaurant with a piano bar and incredible terrace patio, but what you may not know is Hunt Phelan Inn has a profound history behind it.  Completed in 1832 by George Wyatt, the house featured several architectural flourishes, including an escape tunnel. William Richard Hunt, owned the house through the Civil War. Confederate General Leonidas Polk used the house as his headquarters while he planned the battle at Corinth, Mississippi. Before the fall of Memphis in 1862, Confederate officials provided a boxcar for the removal of family furnishings. Union General Ulysses S. Grant headquartered in the house from June 27 to July 12, 1862, and planned the Vicksburg campaign in the library. Gun emplacements encircled the house, and Union forces used the tunnel to relay messages.

Between 1863 and 1865 the Union's Western Sanitary Commission used the mansion as a soldiers' home and housed Freedmen's Bureau teachers. In 1865 President Andrew Johnson returned the house to Hunt, who began years of repairs.

Circa

Circa is no doubt one of Downtown’s best restaurants, so says the Memphis Flyer poll ranking it the Best Chef and Best Restaurant in the city!  Owner / chef John Bragg brought his passion for creating exciting food to a chic Main Street eatery with one of the city’s most extensive wine cellars.  Locals flock to the reverse happy hour where drink specials take place from 10 pm – 1 am on the weekends!

Martyrs Park
Located off Channel 3 Drive near the Old Bridge
After the Civil War, a yellow fever epidemic nearly destroyed the city. For over a decade, the disease carried by mosquitoes sent the population down with deaths and a mass exodus of citizens. This caused the State of Tennessee to repeal the city's charter in 1879. Of the 19,000 who did not flee the worst epidemic in 1878, almost 80% caught the fever and one-quarter died. Along with unknown slaves and Tennessee leaders, fever victims lie buried at Elmwood Cemetery and Martyrs Park. The yellow fever was eradicated in the 1880's by a new sewage system (the first of its kind anywhere) and the discovery of an artesian water supply restored health to Memphians. Memphis remains famous for its pure water to this day.

Grill 83

The perfect after work cocktail happens at Grill 83.  This bartender makes the best, coldest, perfectly shaken martinis, or what we like to call “see-throughs."
