You could take a 90-minute riverboat sightseeing tour from 1430-1600 on Memphis Riverboats for $18.

If you're up for top quality steak, you should consider The Butcher Shop Steakhouse on Front Street. I also like Buckley's on Union Ave.

If you haven't tried a Churrascaria (Brazilian steakhouse) before, and if you have a big appetite, you might like Texas de Brazil. It's a meat lover's dream come true. (Oops, looks like it's just a buffet on Sunday, Noon-1500.)

If you have a big appetite, but you're more in the mood for a 4-lb burger, check out Big Foot Lodge. If you can finish the Sasquatch Burger in 60 minutes, it's free. The fried Dill Pickle is an interesting appetizer. Don't bother with the Prime Rib.

The Pier Restaurant has a pretty good view of the river, but it's been a while since I've been there, so I can't vouch for the food. It's probably better for a romantic dinner than a lunch with friends.

Dan McGuinness Pub on Peabody Place is the only authentic Irish pub in Memphis, and they'll serve up your pint of Guinness with free wireless.

McAlister's Deli has great sandwiches, loaded potatoes, and super salads, but they're famous for their Sweet Tea.

Dyer's Burgers on Beale Street has an interesting history, and a delicious burger. It's doubtful that you've ever had a burger cooked the way they cook 'em.

Which brings us to Beale Street -- what else needs to be said?
