Eva Ruth & Nathan
Things To Do
Rock City Gardens
If you are looking for the quintessential Lookout Mountain tourist experience, this is it.
Ruby Falls
This is the other quintessential Lookout Mountain tourist experience. There is everything you could ever want from a waterfall to a zip line to cave tours.
Sunset Rock
One of the most popular spots on the mountain to have wedding/engagement photos taken (we did some of ours there), it provides gorgeous views that are hard to beat.
Cloudland Canyon State Park
Beautiful waterfalls, breathtaking vistas, easy hiking trails -- what more could you want?
McKay's Chattanooga
Eva would probably spend all of her money here if Nathan let her. This is an enormous used bookstore with any and every type of book ranging from Southern memoirs to literary classics to cookbooks. Come and prepare to be amazed (and to dig).
Hunter Museum of American Art
Come for the beautiful artwork!
Tennessee Aquarium
Chattanooga National Cemetery
For all of our history-loving friends, this is a fascinating site to explore. Fun fact: Desmond Doss (whose story is featured in the movie Hacksaw Ridge) is buried there.
Chickamauga & Chattanooga National Military Park
Another must-see spot for our history nerd friends!
Cafe On the Corner
A charming Southern restaurant right on the mountain that serves up delicious food. The warm chocolate chip skillet cookie is a favorite of Nathan's. It is also right across the street from Christ Reformed Baptist Church where the wedding will be held!
Mojo Burrito
If you're looking for a fun hipster restaurant that is similar to Chipotle but has its own funky style, this is it. Another important fact: they serve $1 tacos on Sundays.
Mr. T's Pizza & Ice Cream
This is a fun family restaurant that serves great pizza. AND they deliver.
1885 Grill
This is probably Eva's favorite restaurant. The food is delicious (the steak frites are a personal favorite) and the cocktails are even better.
The Tap House
A cool hangout spot with reasonably priced drinks and fun board games.
Frothy Monkey
Chattanooga is known for its hipster coffee shops and this is perhaps the most hipster of them all. It's also located in the Chattanooga Choo Choo!
Maple Street Biscuit Company- City Center
Come and eat fun Southern breakfast classics.
Adelle's Crêperie
They serve really good crepes. Enough said.
Taco Mamacita
Eva's parents' favorite restaurant to eat at whenever they visit!
Terminal BrewHouse
We went here for our first date!
Urban Stack
They serve our second-favorite burgers in Chattanooga.
Tremont Tavern
Definitely the best burgers in Chattanooga, this is a fun neighborhood restaurant and bar with a great atmosphere.
Tony's Pasta Shop & Trattoria
Serves yummy pasta at a great price! Also this is where Nathan asked Eva to officially start dating.
Lupi's Pizza Pies
Our favorite pizza place in the area!
Clumpies Ice Cream Co.
They have really fun ice cream flavors!
The Ice Cream Show
Decide for yourselves whether you prefer this place or Clumpie's. It's a heated debate among the locals.
City Cafe Diner
Looking for a fun diner with 60s vibes that serves literally everything 24/7? Look no further.
Yellow Deli
Pro: They serve really good sandwiches. Con: The restaurant is owned and operated by a cult whose members may or may not try to get you to join.
Cook Out
The perfect place to go to for a late-night (or really early morning) milkshake run.
Rembrandt's Coffee House
It's an elegant coffee shop that will make you feel like you're in Europe.
STIR
Our favorite bar in Chattanooga – the chocolate pecan bourbon pie is a must-have.
