Lansky at the Peabody is located in downtown Memphis. It's convenient to drive—via I-70 or I-55—as the hotel is off of Riverside Drive. Alternatively, take the train to Memphis Central Station and walk about 20 minutes to the shop, which is about 1 mile (1.6 kilometers) away.
Lansky Bros. is open seven days a week, with later weekend hours. There's no bad time to visit, but expect a crowd at the Peabody lobby for the famous duck march, which happens daily at 11am and 5pm. Weddings, special events, and sunset happy hours also tend to draw crowds, so arrive early in the day to avoid too many shoppers at Lansky Bros.
Also known as the Blues City, Memphis is a go-to destination for music lovers who want to see a live show. The famous BB King's Blues Club is within walking distance of Lansky Bros., and the venue's music calendar is typically packed with shows, making it possible to stop by for a great meal and live blues performance just about any night of the week.
