8:00 a.m. Head over to Two Sisters Diner for an old-fashioned Southern breakfast. Try their fluffy pancakes with a side of grits and mile-high biscuits covered in chocolate gravy. The waitresses are so friendly, you may want to sit a spell. 9:00 a.m. Grab the camera and capture New Albany’s greatest gift: the town’s historic buildings listed on the National Register of Historic Places. These storied locales are great fodder for social media posts. 10:00 a.m. Stop by High Point Roasters, get a cup of Joe, take a tour, and savor the aroma of roasted coffee beans from 14 different countries. 10:30 a.m. Grab a bike from the nice folks at the Union County Library and take off to the Tanglefoot Trail embraced by tall trees and tiny towns. 12:30 p.m. Belly up to a vintage soda fountain at The Vintage Market for a club sandwich, chicken salad, or even better, a fried bologna sandwich, a true Southern delicacy. Be sure to chat with the locals and shop a bit, choosing from country-style jams and jellies to antiques and handmade jewelry. 2:00 p.m. Stock up on plant-based soap products at Magnolia Soap & Bath Co. and check out the latest fashion at Muddy Mallard Boutique. Set aside some extra time and money for gift shopping at Itty Bitty Birdie. 4:00 p.m. Pick up a piece of pie or yummy cupcakes at Sugaree’s Bakery and rest those aching feet at the Tanglefoot Plaza. Listen to live music and grab some ice coffee at Brew Albany or ice cream at Brain Freeze. 5:00 p.m. Weave through towering trees at the Park Along the River or grab a park bench while the kids play on the climbing playgrounds and the disc golf course. 6:00 p.m. Savor Mississippi Catfish with a cup of gumbo at the Tallahatchie Gourmet and don’t forget that tall glass of sweet tea. 7:30 p.m. End a great day at the Action Lanes bowling alley, fun for kids and adults with super polished lanes, a rocking jukebox, and a game room.
