Nashville can be overwhelming your first time — so many honky-tonks, so little time. Here’s our local-approved 3-day itinerary.
Day 1: Downtown & Broadway
Morning: Brunch at Biscuit Love in The Gulch (get the East Nasty biscuit). Afternoon: Hit Lower Broadway — Tootsie’s, Robert’s Western World, and Acme Feed & Seed. Free live music all day. Evening: Dinner at Hattie B’s for legendary hot chicken, then catch a show at the Ryman Auditorium.
Day 2: East Nashville & Culture
Morning: Coffee at Barista Parlor, then explore Five Points — murals, vintage shops, great people-watching. Afternoon: Country Music Hall of Fame or Studio B tour. Evening: Dinner at Prince’s Hot Chicken Shack, then The Basement East for live music.
Day 3: Outdoors & Hidden Gems
Morning: Hike Percy Warner Park or Stones River Greenway. Afternoon: Visit the Parthenon in Centennial Park, then walk 12South for boutique shopping and Jeni’s Ice Creams. Evening: Sunset drinks at L.A. Jackson rooftop bar, farewell dinner at Peg Leg Porker.
