Nolensville Pike is lined with great, authentic international and ethnic food. There is even a food crawl (usually around Labor Day weekend hosted by the Tennessee Immigrant and Refugee Rights coalition) which is amazing! I did this last year and hope to again.

No discussion of the Nashville food scene can even start without mentioning the most Nashville cuisine of them all; Hot Chicken. While it is true that you can not raise a glass in this town without spilling some on a hot chicken joint there is no reason not to take your spice curious palate where the locals go: Bolton's. Be careful though. This ain't no tourist chicken.

Etch is a globally-inspired restaurant by award-winning chef Deb Paquette. You can not go wrong with anything here but we highly recommend the roasted cauliflower dish. It is the only thing that has been on the menu every day the restaurant has been open.

Is it a honky-tonk? Is it a roof-top bar on Broad overlooking the river? Is it a restaurant? Yes. Don't let its location and bustle fool you. Acme fires up some fine food and is a rarity on Broadway; a place that caters to live original music.

Make no mistake about it. Nashville takes its brunch as serious as it does its bachelorette parties. If you're looking to shake off last night's fuzziness with some mimosas and sustenance allow us to point you to Nashville's best brunch; The Tavern. Personally, I recommend the Singapore Stir Fry

In my personal opinion there is only one authentic honky-tonk left on Broadway and it just so happens to be about the only place locals are still wont to frequent; Robert's Western World. This ain't your frat boys honky tonk. If you hear a song written after the 80's being played in Robert's something is wrong. You come for the classic slide guitars and country waltzes but you'll stay for the atmosphere. Don't forget to try their famous Recession Special while you're there.

Sunday nights are made for Santa's Honky Tonk with the Ice Cold Pickers! Some of the best players stop in when they are off the road. "No list of best dive bars in Nashville would be complete without the legendary Santa’s Pub. A Nashville staple, Santa’s can sometimes be a little too touristy to be considered a dive bar… but the truth is it’s as dive-y as you can get. It’s housed in a double-wide trailer with a cash-only bar, and some of the best karaoke in town."

Need a break from Broadway but not the party? Make Printer's Alley your destination. In its heyday of the early 1900's, thirteen publishers and ten printers as well as both Nashville dailies; The Tennessean and the Nashville Banner were located in the area serviced by the alley. When Prohibition was in effect Printer's Alley was where you went to find your drinking establishments before becoming the haunt for legends such as Chet Atkins, Johnny Cash, Hank Williams, Waylon Jennings, and Jimi Hendrix. Now days you can find the (in)famous Skull's Rainbow Room, Bourbon Street Blues and Boogie Bar Bar as well as Ms. Kellis Karoake Bar in the alley.

Hatch has been a continuous operating letterpress print shop in Nashville since 1879. Their visual aesthetic is as much a part of the brand of the Grand Ol' Opry as The Ryman and footlights. To see a poster from Hatch Show Print is to see the visual history of Nashville and the Southern United States. Located the in lobby of the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum building it is still an operational letterpress print shop as well as a working museum today.

I know what you're thinking. You're thinking, "I did not come to Nashville, Tennessee to look at some hotel." I get it but what if I told you I was not sending you to a hotel. Nope. I am sending you to a hotel bathroom. WHAT? I know. Madness right? Hear me out though. This ain't "just a bathroom." No no. This art deco-styled men’s room's lime-green-and-black leaded glass tile walls, lime-green fixtures, and terrazzo flooring has been awarded "Restroom Of The Year" (yes, that is a real thing) numerous times. Don't worry ladies, this bathroom is a bonified attraction that welcomes all.
