Monell's At the Manor
Have you had enough southern food yet? The correct answer is NO, you have not. And you certainly have not until you’ve visited Monnell’s. … Meals here are served family style, so get ready to have a nice chat with your neighbors over your skillet fried chicken! This is the BEST traditional southern food I’ve ever had, and it will fill you up for a more than reasonable price.
Cumberland Park
The park sits right on the riverfront; you can even take a stroll down the famous pedestrian bridge that stretches across the water.
Hatch Show Print
Hatch Show Print creates beautiful letterpress prints for many artists who perform at the Ryman. They also have posters for sale with iconic Nashville images, which make great souvenirs to frame at home.
The Station Inn
Seats are first-come, first-served at this intimate venue, where live bluegrass plays every night. And this is where Andrew once met the great Ted Danson!
National Museum of African American Music
NMAAM is the only museum dedicated to preserving and celebrating the many music genres created, influenced, and inspired by African Americans. It's a must-see!
Centennial Park
Centennial Park is a great location to wander through, have a picnic at, and maybe even hear some music! With one mile of walking trails, gardens, a bandshell and beach volleyball courts, there is something for everyone to enjoy. Located in the center of the park, The Parthenon stands as a re-creation of ancient Greece, and is a popular place to take fun photos. There is even an art museum located inside!
Jack's Bar-B-Que
Proudly serving barbecue from "pit to plate." Jack’s Bar-B-Que offers Tennessee pork shoulder, Texas beef brisket, smoked turkey, Texas sausage, St. Louis-style ribs, smoked chicken, and Southern cuisine. Plus, choose from any of their six award-winning sauces. Located near the Ryman.
Prince's Hot Chicken
Rumor has it that Prince’s was the first hot chicken purveyor on the scene, the product of a spicy revenge dish cooked up by a spurned lover. That itself makes it worth a visit, but the chicken here is also freakishly hot, simple, and always juicy. Their outpost at the Assembly Food Hall on Broadway has a shorter line and is more convenient if you want to max out your time downtown.
