Howdy Partner, You're Headed to Nashville This Weekend? Yeehaw!
So, you've wrangled yourself a trip to Music City this weekend. Hold onto your Stetsons, because Nashville's about to give you a time twangier than a banjo string! But with more honky-tonks than horseshoes, you might be wondering: "What in tarnation am I supposed to do?" fret not, pilgrim, this here guide is about to set you on the straight and narrow...well, maybe not exactly straight, but definitely on a route to a rootin' tootin' good time!
Music to your Ears (and Everywhere Else)
Nashville bleeds music. It's like the air itself is humming a catchy tune. So, where do you start? Well, slap on your dancing shoes and get down on Honky Tonk Highway, a boot-scootin' paradise where live music spills out onto the street. Hit up legendary spots like the Wildhorse Saloon or the Redneck Riviera for a night of two-steppin' and knee-slappin' fun.
Feeling a little more highfalutin'? The Grand Ole Opry is a must-see. Catch a performance at this historic venue and witness the heart and soul of country music.
But Nashville ain't all about country, you might be surprised! Dive into the city's vibrant live music scene with everything from blues and jazz to rock and roll. Check out spots like The Basement East or The 5 Spot to see up-and-coming artists or catch a national touring act.

Nashville ain't shy about its love of good food, and it ain't all about fried chicken, although you gotta try that famous hot chicken. From down-home Southern cooking to farm-to-table fare, there's something to tempt every taste bud.
Craving some down-home goodness? Monell's serves up family-style Southern classics, while Hattie B's will set your tastebuds on fire with their legendary hot chicken.
QuickTip: Repetition reinforces learning.
Looking for something a little more upscale? The Mockingbird offers innovative Southern cuisine, or head to Fifth & Peachtree for a taste of modern American fare.
Don't forget the BBQ! Nashville's got some seriously smoky and delicious barbecue. Sink your teeth into pulled pork at Peg Leg Porker or ribs at Jack's Bar-B-Que.
