Elvis Presley - The Arcade - Memphis, TN - Celebrity Hangouts on Waymarking.com

It was in this restaurant that a young Elvis used to sip malts during his breaks as a driver for Crown Electric. After he became famous in the late 1950s he'd still come, but would sit by the side door to avoid being recognised. The Arcade also lays claim to the title of oldest restaurant in Memphis; it opened in 1919.

What's there now?

Today, you can still sit in the booth (on the very same cushions no less) where Elvis enjoyed his malts. There is even a small silver plaque that reads, "Elvis Presley's Booth Since 1953".-Top Rock N' Roll Hangouts

Unfortunately peanut butter and banana sandwiches are not on the menu.
