Call museums ahead, a few have free or discounted days. For live shows arrive early to dodge cover charges and long lines.
Huge fan of the BBQ and live music, very friendly people. Summers are hot though, plan outdoor stuff early in the day.
Nightlife is lively, but expect loud crowds and tourist trap prices after dark, especially on weekend evenings.
Park near the riverfront and walk, downtown garage rates spike after 6pm. Rideshares at night were cheaper than hunting for a spot.
Went in July and the humidity was brutal, spring or fall would be much better if you want to walk between spots.
