Why Music City Nashville is Worth the Trip: Our Top Tips for Your City Journey
Nashville, located in the heart of Tennessee, is a booming metropolis full of historical landmarks, home to numerous country music legends, delicious restaurants, and a plethora of bars, live music venues, and sporting events. Is this your first time in Nashville? Then read on. We have compiled what we think are the highlights and the best places to dine that make Nashville unique.
Nashville's Country Music Scene
No trip to Nashville would be complete without a visit to one of the iconic music venues that give the city its nickname - Music City. From the Grand Ole Opry House to the 3rd & Lindsley Bar & Grill, the size of the venues ranges from small dives to expansive halls. There is good (and not-so-good) live music to hear somewhere every night of the week.
If you want to experience more than just traditional country music, check out The Basement East for classic rock shows or Mercy Lounge for indie sets. Nashville has the right venue for nearly every music genre!
On Honky Tonk Highway, you often find just average cover bands. However, sometimes the biggest stars in the music scene surprise everyone by performing here unexpectedly and often without prior notice.
Experiencing Local Cuisine: A Culinary Adventure!
When it comes to dining in Nashville, there are countless options. We have tried everything from fine dining to food halls to casual eateries. The cuisine isn't necessarily healthy, but classic Southern dishes like fried chicken and mashed potatoes at Prince's Hot Chicken Shack are simply fantastic.
