How to Get There
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.
When to Get There
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.
