South Main Historic Arts District

This artsy little district has been described by locals as "a bite of the Big Apple with a dash of Southern hospitality." In recent years it has become one of the hottest neighborhoods in Memphis for its attractive loft-style living and its locally-owned shops. Our favorites include Saachi, a cool t-shirt store / salon, Hoot & Louise, which carries crafted fashions and accessories, and the city's coolest folk art gallery in town, D'Edge. South Main is full of unique stores and local characters. Also located here are some of the city's most famous restaurants and bars, like The Arcade, Gus's World Famous Fried Chicken, and Ernestine & Hazel's.
