Farm to table style local burger joint featuring grass-fed beef and free-range chicken (vegetarian options also available). I recommend the Dare Ya burger. The Overton Square location is the original and has a cooler atmosphere, but there is a second one that is closer to the house if you're looking for something nearby.

Iconic 10.65-mile paved cycling and pedestrian trail that connects the heart of Memphis to the heart of Cordova through Shelby Farms Park. Start at the old Cordova Train Station (1114 B Street) to begin at one point and ride end to end for a nice 21+ mile trip. Connects to Shelby Farms Park near the halfway point for miles of more paved and unpaved trails.

One of the 10 largest pyramids in the world. Former basketball arena for the Memphis Tigers (nicknamed the Tomb of Doom), now the largest Bass Pro Shop in the world. Neat to walk around and check out. There is an observation deck at the top where you can ride the world's tallest freestanding elevator to get to it. The elevator ride to the observation deck does cost some $$ though, and you get better views on top of the Peabody Hotel (which is free).
