I haven’t had a chance to check out Ferraro’s Pizzeria & Pub in the Pinch yet, but the Hungry Memphis blogger at the Memphis Flyer got by there and took pics.  Check it out. Man that food looks fantastic!  After I watch the USA vs. Ghana game, I may take a trolley north and give Ferraro’s [...]

Like pizza?  A pizza place in the Pinch is having its grand opening party tonight.  Ferraro’s Pizza & Pub at 111 Jackson features New York-style pies and homemade stromboli.  They have PBR on tap, so this is clearly a Downtown business that understands what its customers want.  You can “like” them on Facebook to keep up [...]

Tonight I hung out at the Saucer, pregaming for the Peabody rooftop party.  But then my friend Frank came in and I ordered another beer.  Then my friend Lee came in and I ordered another beer.  Then I tabbed out and got ready to go, and John Bragg from Circa Foursquared that his sliders and Coke [...]

The Majestic Grille shot me an e-mail today and announced that they will have the game on the big screen Saturday.  Their full brunch menu will be available until 3, and they will also have the following specials until final whistle:

$3 wells
$2 domestics

I woke up this morning and got on Facebook.  One of my Facebook friends had posted a pic of Downtown’s biggest female douchebag (I won’t name names, but she’s appeared on this site in a tube top within the past month) making the duckface as she posed for a pic.  I guess it’s time to link [...]

I’m probably not going to have time to do a lunchtime post today – gotta drive Downtown and run a couple of errands.  So here’s an early post… there will be fireworks after the Redbirds game tonight.  In addition, they will have $1 hot dogs all night to celebrate King Cotton’s 75th anniversary.  Game starts at [...]

Lauren has convinced me that I need to watch soccer at Calhoun’s on Saturday. She told me that if I committed to come to Calhoun’s, she’d buy a new tube top to wear.

I did give myself an out though.  If the Flying Saucer fire sales Dos Equis Lager on Saturday, that [...]

The Peabody tweeted set times for their Thursday rooftop party tomorrow, and here they are: 7-8:15 for Taco & Da Mofos (set 1), 8:15-8:45 for White Tie Affair, 9 -Taco & Da Mofos (set 2). Muck Sticky will be the special guest of Taco & Da Mofos, and I hear Al Kapone will also make [...]

First of all… GO USA!!!!! Our nearly last-minute goal not only advances us to the knockout round, but as winner of group C we have the 1:30 PM game Saturday, rather than the 9 AM game on Sunday. No getting up at the crack of dawn! I’ll have more to say in a minute, but let’s [...]
