The best people and best selection. If you want local music recs that aren't country, they have them. Incredibly supportive of the local musicians and makers.
Dead End Records
Local owned and best picks. Sustainable and everything has a story. Sometimes their pets are in the shop and that's extra fun.
Thunder Moon Collective
Fresh. So very fresh. Personable. And knows and understands gluten free
Aloha Fish Company in TN
Local gem focused on preserving history
Marathon Village
Coffee, snacks, and board games. All the wins for a quality hang. Usually I can find easy street parking.
Bongo Java East
Grab a cute bouquet and make someones day. Small parking lot but people move in and out quickly.
Amelia’s Flowers East
Locals solid breakfast spot. Non chain and easy gluten free options. Also the full menu is always available.
Flat Tire Diner
The spot for gifts. Custom perfumery experience, and just stunning and beautiful shop.
The Golden Slipper
Hiking here always. Some of the best trails right outside town. Can get busy.
Warner Parks
Tranquil at the right time. No pets allowed on trails but it pays off in seeing so much wild life. Sometimes parking can be tough, just be patient.
Radnor Lake State Park
Full size replica of the Parthenon. Yes. Nice place to stretch your legs. Little mile loop around the park to see all the things and get a great shot across the water. Check events and happenings too. Worth a visit.
Centennial Park
Don't let looks deceive you. If you can eat the bread, do. Then tell me how good it is because I miss bread like this. Solid selection and family owned. Kurdish food and long tenured recipes.
Newroz Market | Nashville TN
Usually plenty of parking and a great view of the capital. Great stroll and little pocket of green in the city.
Bicentennial Capitol Mall State Park
Free is my favorite color. And this museum is always a good stroll.
