Using “meander” to refer to that sort of rivers is not only reasonable, it’s highly canonical; the term comes from the Meander river in Turkey (also the source of the decorative pattern known as “meander” or the “Greek key”.)
If anyone takes up @autojim’s suggestion of Beale Street, Peabody ducks, and/or Rendezvous, I’m always happy to host. There’s better barbecue in town (and some places even serve meats not from a pig), but the Rendezvous is very convenient to the other places, is an Institution, and is in a part of town that is pretty much guaranteed to burn down and/or fall in the river when the time comes.
