We always make it over to Buttermilk Ranch for brunch if we are in the area! Recommend getting on the waitlist ahead of time or arriving early, as there is always a line out the door. After brunch, explore the fun and very walkable 12 South neighborhood with lots of shops and local vendors.
This is Natalie's go-to lunch spot in Nashville. The food, drink, and service are consistently wonderful! Plus, you can poke around the attached Thistle Farms shop to support the Thistle Farms' mission described here: https://thistlefarms.org/pages/our-mission
Eli and Natalie's favorite place for dinner in Nashville! Nestled in a quiet suburban neighborhood, the menu is handcrafted and seasonally changing. You can order anything on the menu and it is a hit!
Hattie B's is like Nashville's own In-N-Out burger (for all your West Coast guests)! Recommend visiting any Hattie B's location, but this one is nestled near Downtown Broadway (the main street of bars) and near some shops! Great place to walk around on a nice day!
Whether or not you are a country music lover, the Ryman Auditorium is a beautiful, historic experience to tour in Downtown Nashville. Definitely worth spending a hour or two here!
Listing this one as a tribute to my dad :) If you are a music lover, musician of any kind, or just want to see what a multi-thousand dollar guitar looks like, Gibson Custom Guitars is a great place to pop into and explore. Plus, they have cool t-shirts!
Visit Belle Meade - an old horse plantation turned winery - for a historic tour, to hang out and play bocce ball, or to wine taste. This is a beautiful spot to spend a sunny afternoon!
Eli has run more than a few miles at this park and recommends it for walking, running, or biking! Dog friendly and mostly flat, we love Shelby Bottoms!
Natalie is lucky enough to marry into a big SEC family who are Ole Miss Rebels fans! Attending Ole Miss baseball and football games is a Tucker family favorite, so obviously we recommend grabbing tickets to the Ole Miss vs. Vanderbilt football game!
