Things To Do
If you're making a weekend of it, here are some local recommendations:
El Ranchito: the best casual Mexican in Madison. Often crowded, always worth it.
The Trace Grill: a local restaurant with great Southern and comfort food.
Sal & Mookie's: a pizza joint that also has vegan and gluten-free options.
Cups Espresso Cafe: awesome coffee (if you're getting cold brew, ask for the espresso ice).
The Renaissance at Colony Park in Ridgeland: a nice place to walk around, shop, and grab a bite to eat. There's also a movie theater.
If nature is more your thing: there's some walking trails by the Natchez Trace Parkway, and you can also take the Parkway to the Reservoir's Overlook for some waterfront views.
