Nashville Trip Next Week: Spam Me w/Ideas

[evilmommie]

My hubby and I will be in Nashville next week for business but we start our week with a couple of free days to fill on our own.
We've done the usual stuff with a trip a few years ago: Grand Ole Opry, Country Hall of Fame, and the Ryman.

Any favorite places you recommend we check out? Dining, Honky Tonks, tours? Thank you!

Belle Meade Plantation is worth a visit.

Bourbon and wine tasting offerings, info on their website.

Absolutely love to go about 15 miles south on Interstate 65 to Franklin. Great little downtown area to visit.

For dining, we really enjoy Demos Steakhouse, Loveless Cafe, and Maggiano's

Cheekwood.
Jack Daniels Distillery tour. It is a bit of a drive from Nashville, but it is free and interesting.

Loveless Cafe for food. Bluebird Cafe for music....must make reservations, Listening Room Cafe. Hattie B's Hot Chicken. Andrew Jackson's Hermitage.

We enjoyed our dinner at Gray and Dudley so much. They were so welcoming, and the food was out of this world!

Yes! I think we're doing the JD tour on Weds.

Just looked at the website. Fun menu! I have a reservation for The Standard on Weds. Open to changing, after checking out everyone's recommendations here.

Loveless Cafe is wonderful. Also check out Skulls Rainbow Lounge in Printer's Alley. It's very much an old school speakeasy and the food is great.
If either of you are gearheads definitely check out the Lane Automotive Museum, especially if you can go when they are doing tours of the vault.
I still daydream about Prince's hot chicken so if heat is your thing give that a try.
