There are not enough good things I can say about the Alluvian Hotel in Greenwood, Mississippi. It is definitely off the beaten path, but then again it is in the Mississippi Delta! We started our day with a massage which was heavenly. while waiting for your massage, be sure to try the ice cold cucumber water- such a refreshing treat before you go back. After we entered back into reality we dined for lunch at the Crystal grill. http://www.roadfood.com/Reviews/Overview.aspx?RefID=2851
The veggies were exactly what you would hope for in a Delta town. We each ordered a piece of the meringue pies for dessert in both chocolate and coconut- WOW! I wanted to get one to take home and called in to order one the next day, but they do not make the meringue ones on sunday.
Next on the agenda was some shopping on the street where the Alluvian is. There are several precious clothing stores- a few for women and one for children which had some of the cutest smocked clothes around! The best store was the Mississippi Gift Company. i could have stayed there for hours! be sure to tour the art gallery in the loft area upstairs. I learned that they have an online store and be sure to grab a catalog to go!

Be sure to stop by the bar next to the lobby at Giardina's. It also has a very popular restaurant I look forward to trying.http://www.thealluvian.com/restaurants.html great wine selection!
We headed to Inverness for a wonderful engagement party for some friends and had a blast!
We did not do dinner in Greenwood since food was being served at the party. Brian said Luscoe's is his favorite as well as many others I have talked to. It is off site and the hotel will take you directly there in their car service- it's in a bit seedy part of town, so take advantage of front door service. Oh, and you can brown bag it :)

The next morning breakfast is part of your room charge and the sausage-egg casserole was out of this world! if the weather permits, dine on the patio!
We look forward to another visit to The Alluvian very soon. I would love to make a trip with a group of friends and give the Viking cooking school a try!
