Don’t listen to this guy, that sandwich sucks. And so does the moon pie.
I used to live in Nashville for a bit, there are some places you should and shouldn’t go but it all depends on what you want to do and who you’re going with.
If you like mainstream bars and crowds stick to Broadway. If your goal is find women, stick to Broadway but be prepared to buy drinks for bridesmaids. Your personality will get you nothing on that street.
If you like lower key, I’d suggest Printers Alley. Blues/Bones and Boogie is a great blues bar with very good talent, cover charge but the bar is very unique and memorable. Fleet St has great food in an oddly enough UK-style pub.
As for places to see the Ryman is cool if you’re a music fan. I did not like any of the museums - too touristy for me. Catch a Preds game at the Bridgestone, it’s a very good venue. Titans games are fun too but they won’t be playing when you’re there.
If you’re staying on the other side of 40 past the Gulch, go to the bars near Vanderbilt. At least tour Vanderbilt - it’s a great campus. Their basketball arena is very interesting and is a must-see if they’re playing.
Don’t go to Hattie B’s it is overrated. If you like beer go to Bearded Iris, they sometimes do collabs with big craft breweries and usually have good stuff. If your goal is a bender, stick to the light stuff or you’ll have the shakes by day 3.
For food stick to the barbecue or American-style spots. Don’t go for anything pizza or Italian. That should go without saying.
If you want more recs DM me, but don’t go north of the Doubletree into Buena Vista.
