Guidebook for Nashville
Food Scene
Best tacos we've had in Nashville! This is our go-to spot anytime anyone visits. Get the tortilla soup (spicy), the elote (delicious mexican style corn) and a couple tacos and the agua frescas. Check to make sure they're open as they have weird hours, and note that it's cash only and there will probably be a bit of a line. This is a MUST DO.

Definitely a little pricey, but Husk is a fine representation of a southern comfort foodie restaurant. Expect to drop a little cash but your stomach will be very happy. Be sure to make a reservation at this place.

This is Lindsey's favorite brunch spot in Nashville. It's very neighborhood-y, but it's also very small so there's often a wait on the weekends. Really the food is fantastic.

If you want a trendy brunch, this is it. Pinewood Social is not only a delicious restaurant, but also a bowling alley, a pool, and a social club of sorts. All set up in a former trolley barn. Worth checking out, to be sure.

Located right above The Patterson House, this place is supposed to be legit. We haven't been, because, well, it's expensive. Get a reservation a month or so ahead of time and wear loose-fitting clothing.

The place to eat hot chicken. Don't be a hero, here - order more mild than you think you need. Beware there might be a long line - we've waited over an hour and a half on a Saturday night (that's how much we love it).

Another place that’s been highly recommended to us, but we haven’t been! Constantly comes up in recommendations from people who have been in Nashville for a bit – everyone says it’s delicious! The chef just won a James Beard Award - a first for Nashville.

This is the spot that got East Nashville started. Experience Nashville's trendiest coffee spot! Especially great in warm weather when they open up the garage doors in this auto garage turned hipster hangout. Don't expect it to be quick (or particularly cheap), but the meticulous work they put into their drinks and pastries is worth the trip.

One thing you don't find much of in Nashville is vegan food. This place is the tops in terms of that. It's a raw restaurant, so it's not for everyone, but their Avocado Margarita and desserts are some of the tastiest things we've found down here.

Just a quick drive (or bike ride) from home is Shelby Bottoms - a huge park with golf, frisbee golf, baseball fields, a nature center and a greenway all along the river that we often go for runs on. Really great place to unplug, sit and feed the ducks.

Amazing, amazing cocktails. The Maple Bourbon Old Fashioned is a can't miss. Kind of a hard spot to find - it's a speakeasy just upstairs from Catbird Seat. Very romantic - a great date spot!

Robert's is the greatest place to spend a (somewhat rowdy) night in Nashville. It's an old school honky-tonk on lower Broadway. There's no cover, PBR is $2.50 and there are incredible musicians playing country music covers all night. It's a blast (and the only honky-tonk any locals will go to)!

Ryman Auditorium is the mother church. One of the most storied venues in America, this is one of the greatest places I've ever seen live music (and I photograph music for a living). Definitely highly recommended - they do a backstage tour as well.

This is an interesting one. Run by a guy that kinda looks like Santa, this double wide trailer hosts really fun karaoke. Beware - they allow smoking and on weekend nights there is a $5 cover, but once you get inside the beers are, literally, $2-3 and are served out of a fridge from the 80s. It's a mixture of older locals and a lot of incredibly attractive younger people. This is an experience you won't soon forget.

Entertainment & Activities
Home of the Titans! Who are generally not so good - so if you're in town trying to get tickets, you'll probably have no problem. Right on the river, it's really easy to walk across the pedestrian bridge afterwards to spend some time in downtown. Occasionally hosts concerts as well.

Take an afternoon out of your schedule to visit and enjoy this climbing gym! I'm a member and spend time bouldering, but the top rope stuff is the best here. The east side location is a small bouldering room, but the west side is much bigger if you're into top-roping. You can get a daily pass that gets you into both!
