We Can’t Stay Away From This Incredible Food Hall In Tennessee

Here's the thing: every human being on this planet needs to eat. It's primal, biological, necessary for survival. The real question is, are you a human that loves to eat? Do you love trying new things and sitting down in new spaces, indulging in appetizers and craft cocktails and homestyle meals while out on the town? Memphis understands the heart of its southern food culture to the very core, and the South Main Market food hall is bound to please even the pickiest of foodies. Have you been?

The South Main Market is located in downtown Memphis, found in the historic 1912 building that once housed the White Wilson Drew Company. The building was later utilized by Lucky Heart Cosmetics and eventually abandoned in the 1960s.

The recent infusion of local artists and foodies has given the historic space a new beginning. A Kickstarter funded the South Main food hall, which has since exploded into a community destination.

The South Main District has recently expanded into a community of tiny shops and galleries, spaces for artists to create and foodies to build out new, delicious eateries.

The South Main Market offers up catering opportunities from its market vendors, and the space has since become an event venue and the meeting location for the South Main Market Book Club.

Doesn't this look like a dreamy book club experience? They meet once a month, and there are even yoga classes the first Thursday of every month for only $10 a person.

Ah, but of course - the food! Indulge in a craft cocktail at Civil Pour or a decadent sandwich from City Block Salumeria. Java Cabana will give you your coffee fix for the day, and no home is complete without a bouquet of flowers from Wall Flower Memphis.
