Things To Do
Crema, Coffee Roasters
Artisanal coffeehouse/roaster serving drinks, pastries & snacks with a great view of downtown. (Zoë recommends the iced or hot cuban!)
Hattie B's Hot Chicken - Midtown Nashville, TN
If you feel like you want to try some of that Nashville hot chicken, Hattie B’s is our favorite!
Bakersfield
Serving up authentic, Mexican street fare and a selection of over 100 tequilas and American whiskeys, this is our go-to restaurant downtown! Don't miss their Queso, Pineapple Jalapeño Margarita and Milanesa Torta (trust me.... - Zoë)
E+ROSE Wellness Bodega at 505 Nashville
A plant-based superfood Eatery that has some of Zoë’s favorite açaí bowls! They also have great vegan options, coffee, tea, smoothies, juices, salads, wraps, soups and more.
Jackalope Brewing Company - The Ranch
One of our favorite local Breweries in Nashville! They have a “small bites” menu but you are allowed to bring your own food into the taproom, and often have food trucks outside the patio on Friday and Saturdays.
The Hampton Social
Great atmosphere & cute backdrop for photo opps, Hampton Social is a perfect place to grab brunch. Known for their morning cocktails & French toast; it’s the perfect stop on the way to check out downtown Nashville.
Listening Room Cafe
This is our favorite spot to see live music in Nashville. Performances by singer-songwriters plus American eats & cocktails offered in an intimate setting. Make sure to book online in advance to reserve your seat.
Arrington Vineyards
Nashville's "Wine Country." Co-owned by Country Music artist Kix Brooks, Arrington Vineyards is located just 25 miles south of Nashville. Feel free to bring your own picnic or charcuterie board to enjoy alongside your wine!
12 South
12 South is our favorite area in Nashville and holds such a special place in our hearts! One street over from where Zoë has lived for the past five years and next to Sevier Park where we got engaged, 12 South has so many things to offer. Some of our highlights: Taqueria del Sol (tacos) Mafiaoza's (Italian) Bartaco (more tacos and home to our favorite margarita) Portland Brew (Zoë's favorite coffee shop) Edley's Barbecue (Mark's favorite BBQ) Burger Up (burgers and salads) Las Paletas (popsicles) Sevier Park (where we got engaged!) Josephine's (brunch or nice dinner - we go here for every special occasion, like after our engagement, and always get the "chicken dinner for two"!) I Believe In Nashville Mural (about halfway down) - great photo opp! Also some great boutiques and places to shop. ENJOY!
Radnor Lake State Park
If you are looking for an active outdoor option this weekend, Radnor Lake is one of our favorite spots to go with friends and family. There is a flat, easy to follow 3-mile loop suitable for all ages. We went to Radnor with our families the day after we got engaged, so it is a special place for us!
Acme Feed & Seed
A three-story bar with a rooftop view of the Nashville skyline, this is our Broadway pick! Enjoy great drinks, food and music.
Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum
If you like Country Music, you will love our Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum! One of the world's largest museums and research centers dedicated to the preservation and interpretation of American vernacular music. Chartered in 1964, the museum has amassed one of the world's most extensive musical collections.
