For those of is from Memphis feel free to add anything that I miss. If you have not been to Memphis or don't know the city that well I suggest you read here.
Do not go to the south side of the stadium as you will wind up in the ghetto know as orange mound. Tiger lane is a great place to tailgate that is on the west side of the stadium. Bars in the area are over at cooper-young area they include Celtic Crossing (Irish pub and I think the best bar in Memphis), young Ave deli ( they have great food and a shitload of beers on tap), alchamey for the older crowd who can afford to spend a litte more (great food here as well get the sliders and it's full of milfs)
You can probably scalp great seats for the game outside of the stadium
Generally speaking you can drink without worry around the liberty bowl as Memphis PD has real criminals to worry about.
I suggest for your New Years plans to go out in midtown because downtown and Beale street will be hell on earth.
WHAT NOT TO DO
1) do not leave valuable things out in your car because it will probably get broken into
2) don't give panhandlers money as they are all crackheads
3) if you do not know where you are don't stop and get out of your car just use GPS to go downtown or somewhere that probably won't get you robbed
Restaurants near the liberty bowl
Central BBQ
Young ave deli
Celtic crossing
Milan Asian bistro
Alchamey
Subway
McDonalds
Things to do with kids
Children's museum (next to liberty bowl)
Sun studios
The Memphis zoo
Memphis grizzlies game
Hail State and frick RICE

Don't get caught in South or North Memphis when the lights go out.

There are a lot of bars and eateries here and it's really close to the stadium ... hell it's walking distance IMO. Good place to set up shop if you don't want to do the whole "Downtown Memphis/Main Street/Beale Street" thing.
Would definitely recommend hanging around the Mid-Town/Cooper-Young area for the game.
Good luck Dawgs.
P.S. I'm still mad as hell and hate y'all fwiw
... but seriously

I'll have my 10 year old with me so I won't be doing any drinking. I'll be there the day before and staying until the day after the game. What are some of the must try restaurants we should try while there???

Depends on how far you want to drive. If you're down to drive to Germantown then I highly recommend the commissary

Well rendevous downtown is great BBQ but they will be packed and you will wait to get in the door. Try Huey's they have good burgers, central BBQ is pretty good as well and it's near the stadium. You should take your child to the children's museum the day before or after the game. Lots of cool stuff for a 10 year old

Central BBQ and BBQ Shop are my two favorites.
Posted on 12/9/13 at 1:51 pm to Eric Nies Grind Time
There's a new place on Perkins that's good called one and only BBQ
Posted on 12/9/13 at 1:54 pm to DMagic
Oh ok...will have to put that on the list of places to try when I go to my parents for Christmas.

Driving doesn't bother me. I will have to give it a try.
Thanks for the replies, will have to hit a few of these places up while we're there.

Memphis pizza cafe is also pretty good as well

Will do. We'll be up there pretty early the day before so we may try to hit it then.

In 2007, Me and my brother got on the wait at the Vous as my parents left Jackson. We got our table shortly after they arrived to join us. On NYE it was a 3+ hour wait.
It worked for the better though b/c we had been drinking all day and as soon as we got to the Vous my brother passed out head down on the table. I had a sausage and cheese plate and a pitcher of beer while he was getting much needed rest. I was able to revive him just as our parents got there. Good family times...

I'll be at the game with my girlfriend who is from Memphis. She insists on avoiding Midtown due to the recent number of shootings in the area.
We're going to a rooftop party at the Peabody.

We have shootings city wide everyday you will be fine. Tell her to branch out from collierville-downtown scene there is more to Memphis than that

There aren't.
Your girlfriend is from germantown and she and you both are retarded, humongous pussies.
Also, if you are listing places just within walking distance of the liberty bowl in CY, there are also:
Sweet Grass
Next Door
Cafe Ole
Green Cork
There are a bunch of other places close by, but not really walking distance.

Will Libertyland be open? Can I ride The Revolution?

Alas, no.
They have plans to turn the whole area into some sporting/rec center, but now the city is just spending millions of dollars to secure nothing.
Sold the Zippin Pippin to Green Bay.
