Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner spots I love!
Have breakfast 20 minutes south of the city at my favorite breakfast spot in my old neighborhood, Franklin! Farm to table food. Be sure to get their Million Dollar Bacon 🥓(brown sugar, black pepper, cayenne, maple syrup🤤)
First Watch
Have lunch at Velvet taco. You won’t be mad about it! The chicken tinga tacos are my favorite, as well as the Big Mac taco! There are 2 locations that I know of, one is within walking distance of Broadway at the Assembly Food Hall, and another less c...

Off Broadway 😉
Coming from a girl who’s from the Finger Lakes wine region in NY, you gotta visit this place! It’s on a beautiful piece of land with a cozy vibe. and their wine is delicious. Their Cabernet is my favorite👌🏼
Arrington Vineyards
Very cool place with excellent craft beer!
Monday Night Brewing - Preservation Co.
Yeehaw Brews and Ole Smoky moonshine in one spot! Put this at the top of your to-do list. It is so much fun with outdoor areas with cornhole and indoor tastings
Yee-Haw Brewing Co.
Music
You can’t come to Nashville and not experience the music! Here are some local and iconic spots
You might not catch Morgan Wallen here, but you’ll catch the songwriters of many of your favorite artists’ music! They have writer’s rounds multiple times a week where 4 or so songwriters take turns playing songs they wrote! I spent lots of time here...
Listening Room Cafe - Nashville
Great views of the stage from most seats. One of my favorite standing room venues!
Marathon Music Works
My favorite music venue in Nashville! Intimate and beautiful!
Ryman Auditorium
I had to add the Opry to this list because even though it’s touristy, it’s unlike any other venue with its architecture and no matter who performs there, they’re going to be talented. You can do a backstage tour of the Opry too which I highly recomme...
Grand Ole Opry
