The Pancake Pantry
The Pancake Pantry is a Nashville institution that has become a favorite among locals and tourists alike. It was the first restaurant in Tennessee to specialize in pancakes and has since gained a reputation for its delightful breakfast offerings. Sweet Potato Pancakes are the best!
Peg Leg Porker BBQ
Peg Leg Porker offers a variety of mouthwatering barbecue dishes, including pulled pork, smoked chicken, brisket, and my favorite -their signature dry-rubbed ribs! The best side item in our opinion is the homemade shell mac and cheese.
Assembly Food Hall
They can choose from a variety of options such as sushi, tacos, pizza, burgers, salads, desserts, and much more, all within a single location. This makes it an ideal destination for groups or families with diverse food preferences, as everyone can find something they enjoy.
Sixty vines
Sixty Vines is known for the wall of wine on taps. They have delicious food and a lively atmosphere situated at the top of Assembly Food Hall on Broadway with a memorable rooftop view looking over the Ryman Auditorium (A great place for a selfie).
Pinewood
One of the main highlights of Pinewood Social is its vintage-style bowling alley. A great place to gather with a group of friends for mimosas and bowling! Note: must reserve the bowling ahead of time - they book up fast.
Jack Brown's Beer & Burger Joint Germantown
The best burger joint in Nashville. We love the crinkled fries and fried Oreos!
The Bluebird Cafe
The Bluebird is an intimate music venue with less than 20 tables inside (of varying sizes). You can book your desired show through their website a week prior to the date at 8:00 am central. Should you be unable to make a reservation they have limited first-come, first-served seating available for most shows.
Arrington Vineyards
Arrington Vineyards is a renowned winery located in Arrington, Tennessee, about 25 miles south of Nashville. It was founded in 2005 by country music artist Kix Brooks. I recommend the Syrah and of course their bubbly Sparkle.
Game Terminal
Nashville largest arcade spot but if you are not big on games you can grab a spot on the patio or find a cozy couch inside for cocktails from one of their multiple bars. The courtyard has giant yard games and a covered patio so there’s plenty of room for hanging or gaming. Malek love to play cornhole here!
Historic Downtown Franklin
Take a stroll along Main Street, which is lined with beautifully preserved historic buildings. Enjoy the unique shops, boutiques, and art galleries that showcase local artisans and craftsmen. Downtown Franklin offers a wide range of dining options. Some of my favorites are Red Pony, 55 South, Pucketts, Grays on Main, O Be Joyful, Cork and Cow, and Izzy's feel good food. You may need to stop by Frothy Monkey for a coffee pick me up!
Ryman Auditorium
The Ryman Auditorium was originally built as a place of worship called the Union Gospel Tabernacle in 1892. It was later renamed the Ryman Auditorium in honor of its founder, Captain Thomas G. Ryman. Over the years, it gained fame as the "Mother Church of Country Music" due to its association with the Grand Ole Opry. Tours are scheduled 9am to 4am and tickets are only $30.00 - a must see when visiting the great city of Nashville.
