Food scene

I've tried to include some of my favorites on this list where I know I could take friends and family and everyone will find something to enjoy!
This is a great spot for delicious coffees, crepes, wifi and relaxing. My favorite is the savory crepe - turkey and cheese with spinach. I haven't had anything here that I haven't loved.

Great place to relax and try some local brews. Spots for playing games and cards. They don't serve food but they partner with local food trucks that will rotate. Their Facebook page typically posts a schedule. You can also Doordash food while you open a tab and get a beer.

This deli is fabulous. Menu is typically light fare perfect for quick bites. The menu changes and I've never been disappointed with anything I've gotten here. Also...their cakes are to die for...

If you don't mind driving about 15 minutes to Mooresburg this place is always packed when it is open...when you eat here, you'll know why! After a bite here you could continue to Historical Rogersville for some downtown browsing (about 15 more minutes down the road).

Neighborhoods

Downtown area is really unique. Morristown's elevated sidewalk is a fun place to walk and poke around in the different shops. Definitely worth the visit!

This is a wonderful state park and a local favorite. Lots of hiking, biking and horseback riding trails. There are volleyball nets, a pool, and swing sets. Wonderful views from the lookout at the top of the mountain. There's lots to do here if you enjoy being outside!
