Nashville, Tennessee
Nashville transplant Amy Stark ('19 genetics) offers her top seven things to do in Music City.
- For the quintessential Nashville, spend a few hours enjoying live music and drinks at the Broadway Honky Tonks. They're a party by day, a crazier party by night.
- Walk across the pedestrian bridge toward Nissan Stadium for the best skyline photo-opp.
- Stop by Assembly Food Hall to find some of the best local restaurants in the city. Prince's Hot Chicken is my pick (but may be spicier than you expect)!
- Grab coffee at Three Brothers and head across the street to explore Centennial Park, site of Nashville's full-scale replica of the Greek Parthenon built for the 1897 Tennessee Centennial and International Exposition.
- Enjoy brunch at Frothy Monkey on 12 South, or hit Pancake Pantry or Fido in Hillsboro Village followed by boutique shopping. Don't miss the murals here and in the Gulch!
- Catch a show at the Ryman Auditorium, the Grand Ole Opry, or both!
- For an easy-going night out, check out our local brewery scene. My favorites are Bearded Iris, Southern Grist, Diskin Cider, and Jackalope.
