Enjoy Crosstown Concourse with the whole family!
Swing by Lucy J’s Bakery for delicious homemade cinnamon rolls and then to French Truck for a coffee before heading to the outdoor main plaza to play in the fountains or practice your biking or roller skating skills on the smooth pavement. If you’d rather have a more relaxing experience, wander over to the vegetable and flower garden and meditation fountain across from Crosstown Brewing Co. and enjoy the hummingbirds flocking to the feeders. Then, wander through the Crosstown Arts galleries, which are always free and open to the public.
For lunch, there are multiple unique options perfect for the kiddos, from Farm Burger’s “Lil Farmers” menu to Abner’s “pigskin” baked potatoes and junior plates. Not to mention, kids eat free on Wednesdays after 5 PM at Abner’s! And what’s a meal without a bit of dessert? Top off your meal with a frozen treat from MemPops or Sweet Magnolia Gelato!
You can walk off all of that energy with a Crosstown Adventure Scavenger Hunt (request a copy at the front desk in the central atrium) or a tour of the public murals throughout the building, each accompanied by a video of the artists who created them.
The Church Health YMCA offers even more ways to play – with the outdoor pool (seasonal) and YPlay at The Well for the kids while you work out.
Wrap up your day with freshly popped Pop-A-Roos popcorn and some light reading on the giant library stairs in the central atrium, which is stocked with books for all ages—finally, journey back in time at the Memphis Listening Lab. Explore a collection of over 50,000 records, rediscover your favorite classics, or introduce your kids to the magic of vinyl for the first time. What a day!
Can’t agree on where to go with your friends this weekend? Come to Crosstown Concourse, where you can do it all!
Round up your crew and head to Crosstown Brewing Company for an epic hangout! Quench your thirst with their award-winning beers and fuel up with their new menu featuring crowd-pleasing eats like fresh pizza and Memphis-style honey gold wings. Enjoy a flight of seasonal brews while you battle it out in a friendly game of giant Jenga.
Next, try out a new look at Hero & Sage, or head over to Gloss Nail Salon and get yourself one of the best pedicures around. Go the traditional route, or be more adventurous with a CBD volcano treatment (you read that right!). Or stop by Mili’s Flowers and Gifts to treat yourselves to a bouquet as you shop their curated selection of accessories, home goods, and more.
Once you’re nice and relaxed, walk your superstar feet over to the central atrium and watch the WYXR community radio in action, live on the air. Next, head upstairs and explore the Crosstown Arts galleries.
All of that fun is hungry work! Global Café has you covered with a one-of-a-kind international cuisine experience, accompanied by some of the best margaritas in town. Your last mind-blowing stop of the day is an archive of over 50,000 records at Memphis Listening Lab that you can research, check out, and listen to on turntables in the lab!
Friday night calls for a Crosstown Concourse adventure. Ignite the spark with your special someone without leaving the building or traveling across town!
Start your evening with a handcrafted cocktail at Art Bar, a hidden gem nestled within Crosstown Arts. Immerse yourself in the mid-century charm as you sip on seasonal favorites. Capture the magic with a selfie under the “Today and Always” neon sign or on the iconic red staircase before embarking on a culinary journey at Global Café. This vibrant food hall showcases the talents of immigrant and refugee entrepreneurs, offering an array of international delights. Craving something lighter? Check out SriMu’s Wine and Cheese Cafe for organic wine and incredible plant-based-not-cheese boards!
For a sweet ending, Indulge your sweet tooth at Sweet Magnolia Gelato, where southern-inspired flavors elevate the classic Italian dessert. Conclude your evening with a live music performance at the Green Room or Crosstown Theater, where you can discover talented musicians and enjoy the buzzing music scene of Memphis.
You’ve come to the right place for a dose of work day motivation! With free Wifi throughout the building and an abundance of seating areas, Crosstown Concourse is a great place to spend your work day.
May we suggest you start with an order of avocado toast and freshly roasted coffee from French Truck Coffee , or an energizing smoothie bowl from Vibe Foods?
Now that you’re all fueled up, head on up to the fourth, fifth, or seventh floors in the central atrium, the second-floor balcony, or under the massive fans in the main plaza canopies for quiet spots (and charging outlets) to get some work done. And if you have a small team or an important meeting coming up, don’t forget that our conference room (located next to Farm Burger and just behind the famous red stairs) is available for meeting rentals.
After a few productive hours, mosey down to Mad Grocer for a deli sandwich or salad that you can enjoy indoors or at outdoor picnic tables. Take advantage of that change of scenery to reset your focus and work a few more hours until you feel you’ve earned a sweet afternoon treat—we recommend Lucy J’s, Pop-A-Roos, Sweet Magnolia Gelato, or MemPops!
Once you’ve slammed your laptop shut, you deserve a handcrafted Global Café margarita or a seasonal favorite from Art Bar. Cap off the perfect day by heading to Crosstown Theater for Crosstown Arts’ $5 Thursday film series.
