Cooper-Young and Broad Avenue, the neighbourhoods around the edges.
Memphis Travel names the Cooper-Young Historic District and the Broad Avenue Arts District alongside Crosstown Concourse and Overton Square as Midtown's nightlife and entertainment districts, with record shops, made-in-Memphis fashion, theatres and galleries. We have not measured the drive to either, so we give no distance. memphistravel.com
