Best tacos in Nashville, and a feature on Diners Drive-Ins & Dives, this place has a small but stellar menu. They serve the same menu every day except wednesdays when they feature hand-rolled tamales. They sell out quickly, so don't miss them! They also are a small place, so expect a line and have cash handy since it's all they accept.

This place serves amazing food all day long (except Monday's when they're closed). From breakfast to dinner, you can hang out and feel like you're actually in a cutesy French bistro with great food. If you want to go for brunch, they serve that Friday-Sunday, but know that they will fill up quickly on the weekend. Grab a matcha latte and hang!

Brunch. If you can get in this place, (it's FOREVER packed), it's totally worth it. They are open early and close around 2, so don't miss it. And get the benedict (any of them are killer), and a latte for a well-rounded experience.

Serving breakfast-dinner, this little sandwich joint is always hopping! They have great sandwiches, as well as vegan options and a salad bar. (Or get the sandwich in a box if you are gluten free.) They are slightly off the beaten path, but worth the trek.

If you are a foodie of any sort (basically if you love great food), this place has all the vibes. They are a tiny little place with a great happy hour menu, and their pizzas and shepherds pie rule! You will find some amazing food on their menu, but be prepared to spend a little more...and not a great place for the kiddos.

IF you want to experience some of Nashville's greatest coffee...this is the best place to stop. They roast their own beans and create some fab concoctions. But be prepared for purist coffee options (nothing frufru here), and a long line on the weekends. Super vibey and close to our home and good shopping.

If you have never experienced Topgolf, then this is your time! It's a great driving range with tons of games, food, and drinks. There is a rooftop bar and view of downtown, not to mention they have a live music venue inside called the Cowan. This is the perfect place to unwind, have some fun, and is literally for anyone. We go here all the time, and we always encourage everyone else to hit it up while they're in town.
