Favorite U.S. Cities: Nashville
I hope that y’all loved our stop in San Diego last week on our tour of my favorite U.S. cities! I know that I’m excited to check out the places Heather shared! Today we’re heading east and stopping in Nashville! Earlier this year I read Moment Maker by Carlos Whittaker and so when I decided to feature Nashville in this series I knew the Whittaker family was who I wanted to talk to…because y’all, they really embrace life and so I wanted to hear their recommendations of what to do/see in Nashville! Here is Heather’s (Carlos’ wife) list of what to do in Nashville!
Start off in downtown Nashville…
– Hit the bars! Before 4pm kids can even go in and see classic Nashville!
– The Shelby Walking Bridge has a great view of downtown
– The capitol building. Even if you don’t take a tour, the building is well worth a quick picture. Plus President Polk and his wife are buried there which I think is pretty cool.
– Stop by Crema Coffee and Pinewood Social, they are the “hip” spots downtown
When you head to the surrounding areas…
– Head to Franklin and walk around downtown Franklin
– See a classic movie at the Franklin Theatre
– Eat at Merridee’s in Franklin
– If you’ve driven to Franklin, commit and head out to Leipers Fork and enjoy an evening at the original Puckets where you’ll find deep down Nashville
– Then take Highway 96 to the Natchez Trace Parkway Bridge
– Finally, head to Loveless Café. Order their fried green tomatoes, hash-brown casserole, cream corn and biscuits. YUM!
I absolutely love visiting Nashville and can’t wait to go back! What is your favorite thing to do in Nashville?

Never been to Nashville!! I’d love to go. I used to know someone who lived there, but they moved a few years ago. I’ll have to put it on my bucket list 🙂

I’ve never been to Nashville but I’ve had so many friends move there! It looks like such a young hip place opposed to my imagination which makes it kind of…not.

I think Nashville is a lot younger and hipper than it was ten or fifteen years ago! I know I love going there!
