Discover Nashville
Nashville prides itself on being Music City, USA, but the food in Nashville is every bit as good as the music. Begin your day with red velvet pancakes in Midtown, grab a high-end burger in the 12South District for lunch, and end your day with gourmet cupcakes in Germantown. Every part of town has something to offer. You can enjoy fine Southern dining, authentic Mexican food, or a meal in one of the unique Honky-Tonk country bars. You'll also find great places to sit on rooftops, enjoying a unique cocktail and maybe some South American flavors. You may even bump into a singer or songwriter while you're out and about.
