Broadway is a major thoroughfare in the downtown area in Nashville, just a few blocks from the Noelle Hotel. It is an entertainment district renowned for honky tonks and live country music. The street is also home to retail shops, restaurants, dessert spots, tourist attractions, and more.

Make your way all the way to the end to the street to find a walking path along the river, or pop into Acme for a fantastic view of the entire strip, river, and Titans stadium.

We recommend checking out any of the Honky Tonks for live music, but the iconic ones are Tootsie's, AJ's Good Time Bar, and The Stage (where you will also have the best bet at seeing a famous act).

For food, we recommend Assembly Food Hall at Fifth + Broadway (see below), or Miranda Lambert's Casa Rosa.

Fifth and Broadway is a great area to shop, eat, and drink, just off from the honky tonks and bars of Broadway.

Visit the Assembly Food Hall to check out local Nashville fare, including the famous hot chicken. Kayleigh's favorites are Chilangos Tacos and Whisk Crepes Cafe. Ben's favorites are Pharmacy Burger and Desano Pizzeria.

There are also some great restaurants (aside from the Food Hall) to visit. Ben and Kayleigh's favorites are Blanco Cocina + Cantina and Sixty Vines.

For all our country music lovers, check out the Country Music Hall of Fame!

It has been called the “Smithsonian of country music,” celebrated for its broad cultural impact, educational mission, and unrivaled collection of historically important artifacts related to country music.

Ben and Kayleigh's neighborhood!

12 South offers restaurants, stylish boutiques, and other local shopping. It's home to the iconic “I Believe in Nashville” mural, a popular photo op for visitors. 12 South is a great spot to walk around during the day to pop into some shops, grab a light bite or coffee, and enjoy the sunshine.

We recommend Frothy Monkey for coffee, Edley's for BBQ, BarTaco for small bites, and MafiaOzos for Italian.

The Gulch is an upscale neighborhood known for its chic hotels, boutiques, and restaurants. In a striking art deco building, The Frist Art Museum hosts diverse, adventurous exhibitions, as well as film screenings and lectures.

This is also where you can find the iconic Wings mural!

We recommend Burger Republic for casual eats, The Pub for English pub vibes, Biscuit Love for Southern biscuits, and the LA Jackson rooftop bar for drinks and good views!

There is also the newly opened Puttshack, an upscale, techy mini golf bar.

With chic restaurants in restored Victorian buildings, and cafes along the brick sidewalks, Germantown is a charming neighborhood. There are many great shops as well.

We recommend checking out Little Hats Italian Market, Taco Mamacita, Ok-u for sushi, 5th and Taylor for apps, and Mother's Ruin for drinks.

Check out Nashville Farmers' Market, which has eclectic global eateries. Nearby, the Bicentennial Capitol Mall State Park features skyline views and monuments to Tennessee history.

Franklin is a city just south of Nashville (about a 25 minute drive). It was a key site of the American Civil War, with multiple Civil War-era museums, historic houses, and battle sites.

The Downtown Main Street of Franklin is the epitome of a cute, old school Southern town, with lots of boutiques and shops.
