- Go window shopping on 12 South
Lou Stejskal / Flickr This fun, sun drenched spot just south of the city is great for students and families alike. You can grab a coffee at Frothy Monkey, indulge in Edley’s BBQ or take a walk around Sevier.
- And grab Jeni’s for dessert
Breville USA / Flickr With all locations currently open (phew), you really need to find your favorite double scoop combo. Aaaaand taste all the flavors as you walk down the line, of course.
- Buy tickets ahead of time to the Bluebird Café
Karen MIller / Flickr You’re a local, which means no waiting in line for you! Grab a ticket online ahead of time and breeze past that line of tourists.
- Fight the crowds and grab a drink on Broadway - once.
Darren Stone / FLickr Known as, “Honkytonk Highway,” you really should experience just what NashVegas is all about. One time.
- Figure out what the hubub at Las Paletas is about
Daniel Zemans / Flickr We recommend the avocado popsicle. Try it. Now, preferably.
- Find ‘your’ hot chicken place
Emma Story / Flickr There are quite a few hot chicken spots throughout the city - duh, we’re known for it- but finding YOUR favorite? It’s a must.
- Find some culture at The Frist
Mike Folsom / Flickr With exhibits ranging from Norman Rockwell to Rembrandt, The Frist is where you’ll find some solid return on that art degree you spent so much money on in college.
- Grab some top notch coffee
Belmont Journal / Flickr My favorite? Crema, forever and always. Barista Parlor is lauded nationwide, and Revelator just opened their doors in Hillsboro Village last summer.
- Indulge in some biscuits at Loveless Café
Andi Fisher / Flickr It’s a Nashville legend, and if you don’t understand why it’s because you haven’t been.
- Instagram from imogene + willie
Lou Stejskal / Flickr A shot from the storefront is how the world knows you’re visiting - you’re a true Nashvillian if you gram yourself IN the I+W jeans you just spent your months rent on - who cares? You belong.
- Picnic at Arrington Vineyards
Meaghan Morris / Flickr Bring some wine and cheese and all twelve of your friends that can play the guitar.
- Spend a lazy weekend at Centennial Park
Michael Li / Flickr Especially in the summer, when Music in the Park and the Shakespeare Festival liven the place up.
- Take in a show at The Ryman
Prattman / Flickr You live in the same town as the Mother Church, after all.
- Visit the Art Walk downtown in the summa’ time
Fran Stephenson / Flickr Come for the art, stay for the wine.
- Walk the pedestrian bridge
muffinn / Flickr Officially the John Seigenthaler Pedestrian Bridge, it has been the backdrop of many a date since reopening in 2003.
