Also a restaurant. Good for breakfast. Watch out for the small cheese biscuits on offer in the bakery cabinet. I take them to my daughter in California, that's how good they are.

Drinks & Nightlife

Walking distance is good if you're having cocktails. Mentioned in the NYT article 36 Hours in Montgomery. (I also like Bud's - just across the street- for local flavor).

On the river, live blues, alligator tail on the menu, craft beer on tap. Need I say more? In truth, I love the steak. But be sure to get hush puppies and shrimp poppers.

This is a very powerful presentation drawing connections from the enslavement of people to lynching to discrimination in the modern criminal justice system. Reserve tickets in advance.

One of the few open on Sundays. Zelda Sayer was an unconventional woman from a prominent Montgomery family who married F. Scott Fitzgerald. Their house is nearby and the story is fascinating. Watch "Z: The Beginning of Everything" on Amazon Prime (app on home page of the TV) before or after you go.
