Things To Do
Hillsboro Village
Our neighborhood in Nashville, you can go to Hopdoddy and Jeni's for burgers and ice cream followed by a movie at the Belcourt for a classic Maddie-Pat date night. Barista Parlor (Maddie's favorite) and Fido (Pat's favorite) have excellent coffee. Lots of murals.
Parnassus Books (Green Hills)
One of our favorite places in town for spending an afternoon, and it's right around the corner from Nashville staple, Fox's Donut Den. Walking distance from hotel blocks.
The Food Company (Green Hills)
We go here many a Saturday for the Food Company Salad and fruit tea. Walking distance to the hotel blocks and around the corner from a TJ Killian Favorite, the Little Gourmand.
RH Nashville (Green Hills)
If you've found yourself thinking "I love Restoration Hardware, but I really wish I could have fancy lunch there!", this is the place for you! Walking distance to the hotel blocks and next to the Green Hills Mall.
Percy Warner Park (Belle Meade)
You'll find miles of roads and trails for hiking, walking, running, and biking. It's a beautiful temperate rainforest ten minutes from Green Hills. Right next to Cheekwood Estate & Gardens.
National Museum of African American Music (Downtown)
Located in the heart of downtown. It's also nearby the Ryman Auditorium, Frist Art Museum, Country Music Hall of Fame, and Hatch Show Print. *Highly recommended to avoid on Saturday when the Music City Bowl will be downtown.*
Tennessee State Museum (Germantown)
Located in Bicentennial Mall and next to the Nashville Farmer's Market and Germantown neighborhood. Germantown has excellent restaurants like City House, bars like Mother's Ruin, and the original Jack Brown's for burgers. *Close to downtown, maybe avoid on Saturday.*
The Nations
Home to our favorite Frothy Monkey, Streetcar Taps and Garden, 51st Taproom, and ABLE (shopping), the Nations is a great spot to grab lunch or a beer during the day.
Richland Creek Greenway (Sylvan Park)
Right next to the Nations, you can take a walk around the Greenway and grab a bagel at Star Bagel (a Pat favorite) after.
12th South
The 12th South neighborhood has coffee (Hearts and Frothy Monkey), shopping (Reese Witherspoon's Draper James), restaurants (Mafiaoza's and Burger Up), bars (12S Taproom), and Fahrenheit Yoga Studio if you need a Bikram class. Lots of murals (and the accompanying bachelorette parties).
Edgehill
Right off Music Row, the Edgehill neighborhood has our favorites Osa Coffee and Egghill (breakfast sandwiches) along with shops and easy access to Vanderbilt's Peabody campus. Old Glory and Barcelona are great for cocktails and dinner.
East Nashville
Across the river, East is full of restaurants and shops we love to take out-of-towners. You can go by Redheaded Stranger for breakfast tacos, Gift Horse for stationary and fun gifts, or fancy drinks and pizza at Urban Cowboy Public House. Shelby Bottoms is a beautiful park with miles of greenway.
