It may be true what they say: the way to someone’s heart is through their stomach. Celebrating the rich food and beverage culture of the South, SoFAB (which also houses the Museum of the American Cocktail) offers the chance to do just that. Begin your visit with a drink at the bar in its onsite restaurant, Purloo. Choose from 15 worldly wines by the glass and six signature cocktails like the Yah Yah, with Mississippi Cathead Honeysuckle vodka, Satsuma syrup and vermouth, and then peruse exhibits, beverage in hand. Work up an appetite learning about the history of barbecue in the Trail of Smoke and Fire exhibit, or stroll through the Gallery of the South: States of Taste, curated by a unique mix of food writers, historians, chefs and bloggers.
