Take your time. This may require more than one trip. Give your parents or grandparents a trip down memory lane for some of the toys/figurines displayed. The smile on their face will say it all.
Wow amazing puts things in perspective. Also nice to not see “politically correctness”
Try adding Reese's Pieces to the pancake batter - melts into a great gooey, peanut-buttery pancake. Potato cakes are extra awesome with grilled onions and shredded cheddar too.
Damn hot chicken - as advertised. Very hot but edible. Chicken is so good that merely "hot" might be the better route, letting the flavor come through more. Mac and cheese was great. Fries were good.
GPS may indicate that you have arrived, even if you are still on Interstate 66. From exit 60 VA 123 toward Vienna/Fairfax. Keep right at the fork. Right on Fairfax Blvd. Right on Waples Mill Rd.

The hash! The chicken! The hushpuppies ! And BEST of all the pies !!! Chocolate chess, hell yes!
Country-fried tempeh and gravy is like a vegetarian take on country-fried steak and gravy. But better! Why else would it be on CL's 100 dishes list? Read more.
Don't miss this street on your visit to Charleston. It's one of the most famous (and colorful) spots. The homes are beautiful and whimsical. The purple is my favorite.
The perfect meal starts with the Fried Green Tomatoes with 1870 sauce and ends with a piece of homemade pie. Great dinner specials and happy hour deals. LOVE THIS PLACE!
Pseudo-classy joint has the attitude of a night club you'd find in Dubai, while still being VERY South Carolina. Most people have all their teeth, which is nice.

So cool! Go on a tour and see all the floats and how all the decorations are made!
Very sobering to see the history of lynchings that have been through the south. So many, yet so many more unreported. A memorial worth walking thru.
Make all the time you can. This is not a place that you can rush through. Peace.
Watch out Hill Farmstead. Hands down the best beer in NC and best beer since I was in VT. Experimental. Unafraid. Mind blown.

The best fried Catfish in the Shreveport area! Try the whole or filet catfish fried with Cajun spice !
Read Ray Arsenault's book. It will change the way you view civil rights in the 1960s south forever..
Not a huge place but certainly big enough to tell this important American artist's story. Interactive displays. Help you get a true spence of his life and times and how he has influenced artists now.
Country ham and red eye gravy is soooo good!!! Also really like hash brown casserole.
Can't say how absolutely AMAZING this museum is. Plan to spend at least 4-5 hours here to really get a good grasp of the history here. Warning: pretty graphic images, not always suitable for kids.
The steak tartare really is a standout. It’s served with crispy oysters instead of bread or crackers, such a unique preparation and so tasty.
The food is really good, actually it's great. The Braised Ox-Tails, and The Fried Green Tomatoes are so good. The customer service was great also. They are so attentive to the customer.

Really informative free museum. Great set of movies that bring you through the entire raid.
For couple’s soaks, make sure you’ve got the right building. There are 3 on the grounds and only one does this. You feel regenerated, relaxed and silky smooth when you’re done with your soak!
Pretty cute show. The kids loved it. You have to eat with your hands, so if that's not your thing...this show isn't for you. Also, they don't serve any alcohol what so ever!
Where do I begin? Woody's Fish Tacos. Bratz Y'all. French Truck Coffee. Mrs. Linda's Yakamein. SHULTZILLA. Zeus' Place. Hand shaken lemonade. Gourmet Cupcakes. Live music. Fun. Sun. Shop. Eat.

Food was good, atmosphere was awesome! The staff insulting everyone was hilarious! The best part was the hats our waitress made us. NSFW!

This spot is kind of amazing. I mean not exactly a justified Beard award...the pork is really good but the bread immediately gets soggy. Can’t beat the price and visiting these parts is an experience
Be sure to save room for dessert. Their "Virginia Peanut Pie" is a must try. Get a slice for the table & yourself. Smiles are guaranteed to follow.

Everything is good. Trust chef's opinion when it comes to fried vs. grilled and always look for more seasonal specialties.
Love this place! Seems very LGBTQ+ friendly. My favorite is still the fried oyster mushrooms in sweet chili sauce. I’m always amazed by how filling everything is (even without a meat substitute).

Best kept secret in Mississippi! Catfish is whole and the dusting they use for batter is outta this world. Shrimp are spicy, in case your kids (or you!) are sensitive.
Twisting the Cyclone was the best they could do for this old classic. Feels 10 times faster and probably the best coaster in the park now! Smooth and fast. No more neck pains and back adjustments.

Amazing collection that includes among many other incredible works of art, two Kusama infinity rooms!
Great place! Pinball, video games. Leave your quarters at home and play all you want for a very reasonable day rate.
I can’t believe it took me so long to check this place out. It is my favorite late night restaurant by far. I always get the frito pie with an egg. The wait is worth it.
Wonderful, queer little joint with decent cocktails. Probably best place to dance in Durham.
