One of Nashville's most popular neighborhoods is also the place where we fell in love. You can grab a burger at Dino's, where we had our first date, or pick up some pizza at Five Points, one of the best slices in the city. Or you can head over to Rosepepper, where we celebrated the purchase of our house, and don't forget to cross the street to get some Jeni's ice cream afterward.

Plaza Mariachi is a cultural center and linchpin of South Nashville's Hispanic population. Whether you're looking to shop, eat, dance, or experience live entertainment, you can find it all at Plaza Mariachi. It's also been a fun end to the night for us after watching Nashville SC play with our friends from La Brigada de Oro.

The home of our beloved Nashville Soccer Club, many weekends are spent watching matches with our friends in the Wedgewood-Houston neighborhood. It is the largest soccer-specific stadium in the United States, and they offer tours every Friday.
