This is one of our favorite parks in Nashville, and right down the street from where we used to live! The park is enormous with a nice walking path, space to play soccer or fly a kite; you can even rent bikes to toodle around. Inside the Parthenon is a little museum and a ridiculously large, brilliantly gold statue of Athena.
If you need a honkeytonk in your life, this is it! And the only one of which we can approve. Robert's is the only place you'll find downtown that plays traditional country western music every night of the week.
This place was actually the post office once upon a time! Now it's Nashville's biggest art museum, and the art deco interior is stunning.
One of our top 2 favorite restaurants in Nashville! If you eat here, you must order a pasta dish.
Our favorite sushi spot!
Our other top 2 favorite restaurant beside Rolf and Daughters! This place is a foodie's DREAM. Sit at the bar and watch them work! And don't forget to have a wander up to the treehouse out back.
Fantastic neighborhood vibe bar
Bomb tacos
This is our friend's bar, and one of the only reasons we go downtown! Super rad spot and makes you feel like you aren't in Nashville anymore!
Small and easy to navigate zoo. The bears have arrived! And the meerkats are always fun to watch
Are you into cars? Then this is your jam.
Incredible little jazz cavern with a New Orleans style menu and cocktails. Jonathan took me here the night he proposed!
This is a gorgeous sanctuary right in Nashville! We hike the lake trail regularly, where you are sure to meet deer, turkeys, turtles, otters and lots of other critters.
Get the steak and eggs!
This is a nice walkable area with tons of restaurants, bars, and shopping.
Our favorite music venue in the entire WORLD. Hands down. Take a tour and learn the incredible history of The Mother Church. (the original Opry)
The historic hotel is gorgeous, but head downstairs to the Oak Bar. This place is legendary and so are its bathrooms.
You'll never even know it's vegan 'cause it's BOMB!
Another one of our fav veg spots! Get the cashew springs rolls!
Ramen spot
Sublimely good coffee. And for a good cause.
Real deal barbecue. Nashville's Finest.
Also good. And they have Bushwhackers here.
Go to the bar. Get the punch. Get the PUNCH! And the nachos if you're hungry.
Our favorite East Nashville coffee shop!
Good for kids and adults! These grounds and gardens are simply beautiful.
You have to see this place at least once! Multiple atriums of tropical plants to wander through. There is even a boat ride down a river past waterfalls. INSIDE this hotel!
