| What To Do In East Nashville |
Fuel Up for Fun
East Nashville runs on brunch. No, seriously. We're talking enough migas plates and bottomless mimosas to make your inner Beyonce do a happy dance. Hit up March� Artisan Foods for a globally-inspired feast, or swing by Petty Cash for a breakfast taco that'll cure what ails ya (except maybe that hangover from those aforementioned bachelorette shenanigans).
Shop 'Til You Drop (But Hopefully Not Your Wallet)
QuickTip: Revisit posts more than once.
Forget overpriced tourist trinkets. East Nashville is a haven for unique finds. Whether you're a vintage vixen seeking a killer pair of mom jeans or a homebody on the hunt for quirky throw pillows, you'll find your treasure here. The shops along Main Street are a great place to start, with stores like Grimey's New & Preloved Records (because vinyl never dies, baby!) and Kreat� Hub (handmade goodness for all your gifting needs).
Unleash Your Inner Music Snob (But Be Nice About It)
East Nashville boasts a live music scene that's less about stadium anthems and more about discovering the next big thing. The Basement East and The Cobra are legendary for showcasing local talent, while The Family Wash offers a more intimate vibe (perfect for those nights you want to chat with your date without screaming over the music). Just remember, these are cool kids we're talking about, so ditch the requests for "Friends in Low Places" and keep an open mind.
Tip: Avoid distractions — stay in the post.
Nature is Calling (Maybe After Brunch)
East Nashville isn't all hustle and bustle. Shelby Bottoms Park offers a chance to commune with nature. Hike, bike, or take your furry friend for a romp at the dog park. There's even a nature center for those who like their walks with a side of educational fun.
