Things To Do
Rudy's Jazz Room
We went here on our first date and we've performed onstage numerous times since then. The music is always excellent and the vibes are on point. If you enjoy New Orleans-style food and drinks paired with all styles of jazz, be sure to stop in here!
Coco's Italian Market
Yummy, authentic Italian food with a charming atmosphere - we dined here on our first date!
Centennial Park
Gorgeous park featuring a replica of the Parthenon and an outdoor theatre. We took a walk here on our first date and Ben popped the question by the lakeside almost 3 years later. You can spend hours wandering the paved paths, taking in the gardens, and even swing-dancing at the pavilion!
NoBaked Cookie Dough Nashville - Edgehill Village
5 minutes walking distance from Centennial Park and features amazing cookie dough concoctions!
Legendairy Milkshake Bar
Literally the largest, most elaborate milkshakes you've ever seen!
Percy Priest Lake
Plenty of lovely areas to swim, hike, and picnic! You can check out all this area has to offer at http://www.percy-priest-lake.com
Radnor Lake State Park
Beautiful park with a range of activites for everyone - hiking, boating, swimming, and fishing. Get more info here: https://tnstateparks.com
Cummins Falls State Park
Beautiful, multi-tiered waterfall that is a favorite summer spot of locals! Hike through the water and straight up to the falls, then relax in the large swimming hole (or don't - there's a jumping spot off the waterfall for adrenaline junkies!)

Gaylord Opryland Resort & Convention Center
Popular tourist spot with plenty of amazing shops and dining spots, all in an incredible, Disneyland-esque setting (there's even a waterpark and carriage rides!)
Robert's Western World
If you are a country music fan, you've come to the right city! Located in the heart of Broadway, this small dive features an old-school country feel with enough space to do a little two-step.
Plaza Mariachi
This beautifully-decorated indoor mall features live performances, acrobatics, and a variety of unique Mexican, Indian, and Mediterranean cuisines. Tres Gauchos is the favorite of Miranda and Ben!
L27 Rooftop Lounge
Located on the top floor of The Westin, L27 features a classy vibe and rooftop pool. With beautiful decor, fancy desserts, and a sweeping view of the skyline, L27 is the perfect place for a fun night out.
Party Fowl
Experience a classic staple of Nashville - delicious fried chicken prepared in every way you can imagine. We'd recommend not getting the hottest level...
City Winery
Gorgeous venue in the middle of downtown Nashville that showcases a huge variety of musical genres. We've played in the Winery lounge a few times. You can view the lineup and buy tickets at: https://citywinery.com/nashville/
Barista Parlor Germantown
If you're a coffee-lover, this is the place to go! After relaxing with your cup o' joe, take a walk around Germantown.
12 South
Feel super hip and trendy in this vibrant section on the outskirts of town, right next to Belmont University! Sample the delicious donuts of Five Daughters Bakery and unique ice creams of Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams, grab some yummy food at Urban Grub or Taqueria del Sol, and snap a photo at one of Nashville's many beautiful murals!
Sopapilla's
A favorite of both Ben and Miranda's families! Absolutely delicious, slow-roasted quesadillas - and of course, top-notch sopapillas!
T-OP Cold Grill Ice Cream
One of the friendliest establishments we've ever visited! Featuring delicious rolled ice cream, yummy poke bowls, and bubble tea. Located in the middle of downtown Franklin, there's plenty of pretty areas to take a walk and snack on your delicious frozen dessert
Kilwins Franklin
It's like you've entered Willy Wonka's candy shop! Also located on Franklin's Main Street, this little strip has tons of unique, cute shops and spots to tour.
The Crag Nashville
Our favorite place to rock climb! There is also a smaller location on Seaboard Lane in Franklin.
Grand Ole Opry
Take a tour of Nashville's most iconic home for its most legendary musicians.
The Johnny Cash Museum & Cafe
A must-visit for Johnny Cash fans! This detailed museum usually takes about an hour to tour.
Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum
This extensive museum features several permanent exhibits, as well as rotating exhibits currently featuring 70s country music, songwriters Boudleaux and Bryant, and Kacey Musgraves.

Get a bird's eye view of Nashville! This spot provides particularly gorgeous views at night, and is one of Miranda and Ben's favorite spots for a sunset walk in the city.
