FAQs

Transportation

We recommend flying in to Nashville International Airport (BNA). Rental cars are often unnecessary, as there are Ubers/Lyfts readily available throughout the city.

Hotel Block

We have a hotel block at Element Nashville Vanderbilt. Please use <a href="https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.marriott.com/event-reservations/reservation-link.mi?id=1734015165195&amp;key=GRP&amp;guestreslink2=true&amp;app=resvlink__;!!FOfmI8qiWcWBHqypJtzENF0!1unqSEaLjYyRGxnodaOENYaQSkZcjxdsJeMh7JoQ0JuoVVRirHVnNSyunfj8Jq0xa4Gyfuyr1HSwVVXxJnPs8eiPsLLdcVVutgo$" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">this link</a> to book with the discounted rate! In general, we recommend staying in downtown Nashville.

Nashville, TN

Jess's: I like Mas Tacos (a small taco shop) so much that we live right around the corner from it! I also love Butcher and Bee (Middle Eastern small plates), All People (coffee shop), Fido (coffee shop), Benji's Bagels, Burger Up, and Jeni's Ice Cream. Chris's: I'm a big fan of Greko (fast casual Greek), McDougal's Chicken, O-Ku Sushi, Taqueria del Sol (counter serve tacos), Grillshack (burgers), Elegy (coffee shop), and Surefire (coffee shop).

Nashville Mainstays

If you are looking to listen to live music and explore the bar scene in Nashville, spend an evening visiting the Honky Tonks on Broadway!

Broadway

Bluebird Cafe is a legendary Nashville spot to listen to live music! Be sure to check out tickets in advance if you are interested in seeing a show.

Visit the Opry to hear live country music! Make sure to book tickets in advance.

Prince's and Bolton's are both Nashville institutions, serving Nashville hot chicken.

Prince's Hot Chicken / Bolton's Spicy Chicken and Fish

Monell's serves amazing family style Southern food. You will be seated at a communal table with other groups and will be served family style. The menu changes depending on the day of the week, but always includes biscuits and fried chicken.

Monell's

Nashville is, oddly, home to a full replica of the Parthenon. Located in Centennial Park, it is a lovely place to walk or picnic.

The Musicians Hall of Fame and Museum celebrates and honors musicians of all genres and is located right downtown, close to Broadway.

A little bit outside of the city, Loveless is a classic Southern restaurant known for their delicious biscuits and jam. Be prepared to wait for a table - but know there is plenty to explore while you do! In addition to the restaurant, there are several shops, yard games, and places to explore on the property.

Neighborhoods to Explore

Hillsboro has a variety of shops, restaurants, and coffee places all in one street and is extremely walkable. We like Fido (coffee), Jeni's (ice cream), Dumpling House, Tavern (American food), Satco (VERY hole in the wall tacos and queso). There is even a small indie movie theater called The Belcourt, if you are looking for an indoor activity to beat the heat! If you are looking to eat or bar hop, we recommend the Midtown area, between Broadway and Vanderbilt's campus. Vanderbilt's campus is a great place to walk around!

Hillsboro Village / Vanderbilt

12 South is a neighborhood full of restaurants, coffee shops, and boutiques! It's a great way to spend an afternoon exploring in the city. We particularly love Buttermilk Ranch (amazing brunch and pastries), Edley's (barbeque), and visiting all the little shops.

12 South

Germantown is another neighborhood with great food and lots of boutique shopping! It is notable for its walkability and historic charm. We REALLY love it - so much so that we lived in the neighborhood for two years. For food, we love Red Bicycle Cafe (coffee), Little Hats Italian Market (SPECTACULAR sandwiches), Monell's (family style traditional Southern - if you're looking for a quintessential Nashville experience, this is one of them!), Butchertown Hall (upscale tacos and barbeque), Mother's Ruin (bar with excellent drinks and snacks). The Farmer's Market is open year round and has several permanent restaurants and shops in addition to their weekend vendors! It is right next to Bicentennial Park, which is a great place to take a walk in the city.
