Welcome to Nashville, if you're here for the National Service Learning Conference. I wish I could take you on a tour of the city, but I can at least tell you some of my favorite local places to share with visitors. I don't know if you'll have any free time, but I thought I'd share ideas:
Bluebird Café
Grand Ole Opry
Frist Center for the Visual Arts
Downtown Public Library
Bicentennial Park
Centennial Park
The Hermitage- Home of president Andrew Jackson
Radnor Lake- great little park south of downtown, (www.nashville.gov/parks)
Percy Warner Park- larger hiking/running/biking park southwest of downtown
Cheekwood Botanical Garden and Museum of Art
Predators Hockey game
Pancake Pantry
Loveless Café- cool breakfast place on gateway to the Natchez Trace Parkway
Elliston Place Soda Shop
Rotiers- burger and shakes
Monnell’s- family style southern food, best in Nashville, near downtown
Jack's Bar-B-Que- best BBQ in town and on main strip downtown
The Boundry- eclectic food
Chaffin's Barn Dinner Theatre
Enjoy Nashville!
