What are your favorites - things to do, places to eat, things to see?
Two of us are vegetarians but don’t care at all about the food experience - we can always find *something* to eat wherever we go. One of us is adventurous and will eat anything. We like just about anything, like music, like to run/hike, don’t love to shop but will if it’s some place cute and different.
Its just a long weekend - Thursday through Sunday.
Any suggestions?

How fun! Doesn’t Nashville have that one street that’s a must visit? Is it Pearl there or am I thinking Boulder?

We like to walk down Broadway and duck into a couple of honky tonks to hear whoever is playing. The Johnny Cash museum is fun. We liked this Indian restaurant in West Nashville www.chaatablenashville.com/If you can get to a concert at the Ryman, that’s an experience you won’t forget. |

The honky tonks are so much fun. You can listen to the music as you walk down the street to pick your bar.
The Grand Ole Opry is a really fun experience. I'm not even a huge country music fan, and loved it.

Definitely walk Broadway and stop to listen to music. Legends Corner Bar is always fun!
In the evening George Jones' Rooftop Bar has a great view.

We were there last August and it was hot as hell and sticky. Wear comfy clothes.
Go to Broadway - you can literally eat & drink your way down the street. If you are going at night, go early for best seats. People will be playing all day so you can always go in the afternoon and listen to music for a break. We really liked seeing Tootsies - its a literal hole in the way but the history there is amazing. We also enjoyed the Grand Ole Opera Tour. Get tickets early if you want to go. Ryan is fun too.
For food, get some Hot Chicken (Princes or Hattie B's is good). The Loveless cafe is good, Rolf and Daughters was amazing. Husk is good for Brunch & 5 Daughters Bakery has amazing high end donuts.

Love The Loveless Cafe, and we had fun seeing a drag show at Suzy Wong's House of Yum! The performer we saw a few years ago was on RuPaul's Drag Race after that!

I visit Nashville once or twice a year because I have a friend who lives just outside Nashville. Do you like to read, enjoy visiting bookstores? The author Ann Patchett owns a bookstore in downtown Nashville called Parnassus. I've never been, but I am going to Nashville at the end of February, and we are going to go. We also always visit Franklin. Fun area with shops, some chain but some local boutique type stores as well as restaurants and bars. And everything else everyone has mentioned. The last time I was there, in the fall of 2021, we did not go to Broadway because she said it is crazy and crowded and annoying with bachelorette parties. We are planning to go when I am there in a few weeks. I think we are also going to do a distillery tour. I've never done one, but I have always wanted to. Have fun! I love Nashville. Well, except for the driving in it part. LOL Traffic and driving is insane through downtown Nashville. To get to my friend's house, I have to drive all the way through, and thankfully, once I get there, she does all the driving and I just hang on. LOL |

DH is from Nashville, so I’ve done all the touristy stuff over the past 33 years. I love history and especially touring old homes. My favorites are Cheekwood, Belle Meade, The Hermitage, Belmont, Carnton. We usually visit Cheekwood at least once a year during a big exhibition. Last year was Chihuly. We’ll be there again in March. I also like A Patchett’s bookstore in Green Hills. nashvillefunforfamilies.com/explore-historic-homes-in-middle-tennessee/ |
