Nashville, TN
 

Do you have any suggestions for something neat to do in this city during the day? I've been before. Walked around Vanderbilt and downtown. Thanks much!

The Frist art museum is very nice.

One of my favorite moments during a brief stay in Nashville was eating lunch at the Wildhorse Saloon when various amateur country musicians were performing for charity. I really enjoyed the place, even though it may be touristy. I would not call it the best food in TN but it is a fun bite to eat and I will always remember my stop there. If you go, I'd try to go when they have a performer on stage.

Take a 2 hour stroll through the Opryland Hotel. It's awesome.

If the weather is nice, Cheekwood is beautiful(gardens and lunch) as is Belle Meade Mansion(and the neigboring area homes are gorgeous). For a quaint small town, Franklin,TN just about 30 minutes south off of 65--make sure to go into the town itself. It has great little lunch spots and a variety of art shops, etc. Greenhills area is nice and we enjoy F.Scott's for live jazz and a nice meal. Get a tour book and stay away from the "tourist" spots because there are so many beautiful things in Nashville. Though everyone needs to see Opryland Hotel once. It is a good place to go on a rainy day.

Ditto all the above, but if you want to have a good laugh, take the Nash Trash Tour. It is a hoot!!! Meets at Farmers Market and is hosted by the "Jugg" Sisters. There is a website for more info.
