When friends plan to visit Nashville, TN, they often reach out to me to find the best things to do. My list of recommended things hasn't changed much, so I figured it was time to finally write a post that I could point friends to in the future. This is my list of the best things to do in Nashville.
- Broadway: Broadway is Broadway. If you want to drink and dance and listen to live music, that’s the easiest thing you’ll do here. This review is as good as any.
- Ryman: If you can time it with a good Ryman concert, that will significantly enhance your trip. If not, hitting a smaller venue like Exit/In or Marathon Music Works can be fun, too, if they have a band you like.
- Museums: The museum scene is decent. Especially if you like music history.
- Hatch Show Print: You’ll want to check out Hatch Show Print. I can almost guarantee that you won't leave there without buying a print.
- Beer: If you like beer, there’s a decent brewing scene in Nashville.
- The Catbird Seat: My favorite fancy pants amazaballs restaurant is The Catbird Seat. The food and experience are absolutely worth it if you can snag reservations.
- Margot Cafe: My favorite all-time local Nashville restaurant is Margot Cafe.
- Prince's: Go to Prince’s if you want the original Nashville hot chicken (Hattie B’s is good, but it’s not the original).
- Martin's: Everyone has their favorite BBQ place, but mine is Martin’s. I recommend the dry-rubbed wings with white sauce.
- Goo Goo Cluster: Lastly, you can make a custom Goo Goo Cluster which is fun and delicious.
