The 7 Best Places To Go Swimming In Nashville
"Pinewood Social offers two “dipping pools” (meant for sitting or standing as they aren’t large enough to fully swim). The outside patio also hosts a 30-foot Airstream food truck. Food is served all day and night while you enjoy the outdoor patio and soaking in one of the two dipping pools."

How To Vist Nashville's 7 Most Iconic Restaurants
"A hard-to-miss neon sign welcomes you to this otherwise unassuming restaurant off Highway 100, just south of Nashville. Husband and wife Lon and Annie Loveless started the Loveless Cafe in the early 1950s as a motel/restaurant combination. Weary travelers would eat delicious homemade biscuits and fried chicken before getting some rest."

"Located in the Encore tower in Downtown Nashville, Etch is the latest culinary venture from Chef Deb Paquette and offers an excellent exceptional dining experience. Voted Nashville’s best chef multiple times, Etch’s creative menu promises to take your taste buds on an unforgettable journey with every bite. The contemporary eatery boasts elegant and stylish décor with an open kitchen so you can see the master at work, however if you prefer a more private dining experience, there are two private rooms to choose from for those special occasions or business functions."

Eat Up: The Best Restaurants in Nashville, According to Me
"This downtown spot is the brainchild of culinary master Deb Paquette, who whips up inventive fare, such as an octopus and shrimp bruschetta or a cauliflower steak. Deb has led the charge on Nashville’s food evolution and now has Char and Etc. in Green Hills, as well. It’s also one of my very favorites in town—and I’m not just saying it because my college roommate is the ace pastry chef (proud friend alert)!"

The Absolute Best Brunch Spots in Nashville
"When East Nashville institution Marche fell victim to the 2020 tornado that swept through Five Points, fans of the morning meal were disappointed because that was one of the best spots in town to linger over a casual brunch. Fortunately, chef/owner Margot McCormack expanded the hours at her eponymous flagship restaurant around the corner and added a weekend brunch. While the menu changes frequently based on the seasons and freshest ingredients, you can expect fantastic breakfast cocktails and coffee service, sticky pastries, lots of fresh fruits and vegetables showcased in parfaits and bowls, and classic bistro fare for main courses.How to book: Grab an inside or patio table via Resy."

20 of the Best Breakfasts in Nashville
"Chef Margot McCormack’s East Nashville daytime cafe Marche merged with Margot during the pandemic — so try sneaking in for a standout weekday morning meal. Carb-filled favorites include the fresh-baked breads and pastries, whatever tartine is in season, plus sweet or savory crepes. And one must occasionally splurge on the chocolate croissant French toast."

These Are Nashville's Best Eats Under $5
"If you’ve lived in Middle Tennessee for quite some time, then chances are you’ve had a burger from Fat Mo’s. However, if you’re not one of the fortunate ones, then we’ll tell you that the burgers are damn delicious and you absolutely can’t beat the price tag of only $3.59. Also, for 30 cents more, you can upgrade your burger to a Double Mo’s burger."

Where to Find Non-Chain Drive-Thru Food in Nashville
"Iranian immigrant Mohammad “Mo” Karimy and his wife Shiva opened up the first of several Nashville-area drive-thru-only hamburger joints on Franklin Pike in 1991. Since then, it’s become a local takeout go-to for its cheeseburgers, cheesesteaks, and even veggie burgers. Save room for spicy fries and soft serve milkshakes."
