Oxford MS on a Sunday

We are planning a trip (again) to Oxford MS. Will arrive from Memphis on a sunday.
I am wondering what will be open. Restaruants and other stuff (book stores).I do know that the Faulkner home is open on Sunday.
We visited Fairehope Albama and found that some of the better restaruants were closed.
thanks

When are you going and where are you going afterwards?

Not an answer to your question but you may find this link interesting -

And when you are back in the area you may be interested in visiting Monroeville during the festival and the performances of To Kill a Mockingbird in the courthouse.

Best bet is check web for City Grocery restaurant and the big book store, I think it's Square Books.

Not much open on Sunday in Oxford. No alcohol on Sunday hurts the restaurant business. Old Venice Pizza or Proud Larry's are nice. Rooster's is on the Square and open on Sunday. Lenora's is just N of the Square and has a Sunday brunch. Ravine is the nicest place open. Check out 512 Inn or Inn at Ole Miss. You can walk to the Square from 512 Inn. Inn at OM has outstanding Sunday brunch. Enjoy your visit.

Littleman. Thanks for the information. I am using your previous posts in our planning. We are traveling through Montgomery from South Carolina. A couple of good resturants there, The Olive Room being our favorite. We plan to spend one night in Greenwood, MS and two nights in Oxford and then on to Memphis for two nights (Friday and Saturday) and then back to SC.

Stay at The Alluvian in GW. You will find some outstanding casual local dining at Lusco's, Crystal Grill and Giardinia's. Giardinia's is in The Alluvian Hotel which is a 4 * hotel owned by Viking Range. The Crystal has good plate lunches, seafood and steaks. Giardinia's and Lusco's both have outstanding seafood and steaks. Lusco's is old style in a fairly rough neighborhood but safe with lots of history and famous names that have been there. Everyone dines in a booth with a curtain same as Giardinia's. Spend the night at The Alluvian and dine at Giardinia's or Lusco's for dinner.
Alluvian Hotel @ 318 Howard Street, Greenwood, MS 662 - 451 - 1500.

Crystal Grill @ 423 Carrollton Ave.,Greenwood, MS 662 - 453 - 6530.
Giardinia's @ 314 Howard St., Greenwood, MS 662 - 455 - 4227.

Lusco's @ 722 Carrollton Ave., Greenwood, MS 662 - 453 - 5365.

Park and walk around the Square. City Grocery is two doors down W of Square Books. Neilson's to your right on the Square is a nice department store. If you walk past City Grocery on the left you will see McEwen's Restaurant after you pass the Pizza joint. Going around the Square you will find Ajax which is a good country food joint. There are a couple of nice ladie's shops on that side of the Square. Boure's is on N side of Square. They have a nice bar upstairs. There's a Rebel junk store around on the N side if you want to buy a Rebel souvenir to take home. Go N on Lamar and Lenora's is on the left. Have dinner at City Grocery. CG has a nice bar upstairs and you can sit outside if you like.

City Grocery @ 152 Courthouse Square, Oxford, MS. 662 - 232 - 8080.
