I visited Nashville in November 2021 and had a great time. Broadway was always very busy, especially during nightlife. My favorite part of the city was all of the street art - which was enjoyed from our golf card tour of the city :)
(Every location is linked, and my top recommendations are *starred).
Places/Experiences:
Vanderbilt University: A well known University located in the Music City. Beautiful campus & just fun to explore!
Country Music Hall of Fame: A beautiful museum dedicated to country music. In my Nashville tour, I learned that the building itself has many instruments secretly designed within the architecture. If you look close enough, you’ll see a few. - “One of the world's largest museums and research centers dedicated to the preservation and interpretation of American vernacular music.”
Golf Cart Tour: Just like visiting any city, you really should take the time to book a tour and learn all of the small details & fun facts about the place you're exploring. We decided to book with a company called JoyRide - which offers various tours such as golf carts, monster trucks, etc. We really enjoyed our golf cart tour, which just included my boyfriend & I. Our personal tour took us all around Nashville, which allowed us to see & learn so much.
Printers Alley: The center of Nashvilles printing industry. Cute to walk around and see.
Uncommon James: "Founded and creatively directed by television personality and fashion entrepreneur Kristin Cavallari, Uncommon James is a collection of timeless, effortless and sophisticated jewelry for women on-the-go."
Food:
*Assembly Food Hall: Nashville’s food hall located on Broadway. We got sushi, pizza, and drinks and all were very good. Overall an awesome ambiance and a great place to start your evening.
*Hampton Social: A popular brunch place in Nashville - that you’ll most likely want to make a reservation for. The food and atmosphere were both great.

*Hattie B’s: The most popular Nashville hot chicken. With 6 levels of heat, you’re bound to find a flavor you love. I tried both levels 3 (Medium) & 4 (Hot) and both were awesome & packed with a lot of flavor. Next time, I’ll go for level 5 (damn hot). The mac n cheese & fries were good as well, but you definitely go for the chicken. Don’t forget to try the hattie b’s side sauce!
Drinks:
Tennessee Legend Distillery: A “moonshine stop in the smokey mountains.” A great place to do a free tasting of the most unique flavors. I purchased the Peanut Butter Cup Whiskey and it is awesome.
Broadway Street: The main street of Nashville - & probably the most popular place to take photos. This street is mainly nightlife, with a few small shops. The cool thing about nightlife on this street is that it includes bars that were created by & named after famous country music stars. These bars are even fun during the day, and some have live music!
Next Time:
Places I didn’t get to explore, but plan on once I return.
