Sarah & Grayson
Things to Do
Great American Main Street
LOTS of restaurants, bars, and stores throughout Franklin's historic downtown.
Arrington Vineyards
Owned by Kix Brooks of 'Brooks & Dunn,' this is one of Sarah and Grayson's favorite places to get away from the hustle and bustle. Great wine, great food, great music!
Lower Broadway
This is probably the first thing that you think of when you think Nashville: honky tonks and live country music... Although it has become more commercialized in recent years, Lower Broadway is quintessentially Music City!
We recommend: people watching on the third floor of Honky Tonk Central, Tootsie's, The Twelve Thirty Club, Miranda Lambert's rooftop, Kid Rock's Big Ass Honky Tonk, "Recession Special" at Robert's Western World.
Leiper's Fork Distillery
Since filling their first barrel in the Spring of 2016, their goal has been to resurrect the lost art of small batch whiskey production that was prevalent in the hills of middle Tennessee from its earliest founding.
Battle Of Franklin
ALSO: Carnton, Carter House and Lotz House
History nerd? Us too! Learn all about an important battle of the Civil War and its place in the story of America. (It is worth Googling all four locations prior to exploration to make sure that you are seeing what you hope/want to see.)
The Factory at Franklin
Dortch Stove Works is an historic stove manufacturing plant that was built in 1929 by Allen Manufacturing Company. It has since been renovated into a shopping center with lots of boutiques, restaurants and venues!
What else?!
There are too many great places to see and things to do in the greater Nashville/Franklin area to fit on this page! Please feel free to reach out to either Grayson and/or Sarah for recommendations prior to your visit. This is just a (VERY) short list!
GRAYSON AND SARAH'S FAVORITE PLACES TO EAT & DRINK
Adele's Nashville
Sarah and Grayson's first date spot in Nashville, before they even moved to Music City!

Franklin Mercantile
Soup & salad combos >>>
Edley's Bar-B-Que
Grayson contends that this is the best "mainstream" barbecue in Music City!
Franklin Juice Company
Sarah's favorite açaí bowl!
Urban Cowboy Nashville
Great outdoor patio if it's not too hot!
Losers Bar & Grill
Looking to turn up without hitting Lower Broadway? Division Street is the move. Winners & Losers are our favorites!
Bishop's
Looking to scratch your "Hot Chicken" itch while staying in Franklin? This is the place!
Frothy Monkey
One of the more "Googleable" spots, the Frothy Monkey in 12 South is our go-to breakfast out!
O' Be Joyful
The best whiskey/bourbon bar in the entire Volunteer state. (In Grayson's opinion!)
