If you have never visited Nashville and are planning your first trip here or are just moving here then this is the guide for you!
After living here in Nashville for 6 years, I am still learning and finding new things. I still love being a tourist in my own city and exploring all this city has to offer. However, living here for that long has also intrigued many of my friends and family members to visit and come to me for advice on things to see or do. SO! I have decided to put together a series/guide to help you on your Nashville adventure.
Since there are so many wonderful things about this city, putting my favorites in one blog would be rather lengthy. So over the course of this week, I am going to be doing a series of blogs on some of my favorite places to eat, shop, and visit.
Let’s start of with places to eat. This list is in no particular order and was kept to more affordable places that the whole family can visit.
