Best Thai in Nashville. Friendly service, owned and operated by a family in our neighborhood. I recommend everything on the menu...just not at the "ass fire" spicy level.

City/town information

Small town with a wonderful downtown historic district. While many tourists don't know about it, the locals do. (Dolly and other music stars visit, and you may even see a movie being filmed on the square!) The drive to Springfield (40 minutes) will give you a great idea of the picturesque countryside north of Nashville. (In the late summer/fall you can get a whiff of the farmers curing their tobacco in "smoking" barns. In the spring/summer you can get great produce and enjoy Friday night festivals on the square.)

The first church of country music. The best place to hear music in Nashville, if not the world. Original home of the Grand Ole Opry, it currently serves as a magical venue for all types of music. Everyone wants to play there. The acoustics and intimate feel are one of a kind. Think ahead for tickets. They sell out quickly. Great tour if you can't catch a show.

Nash-Vegas in full bloom. We recommend staying away from newer bars near the river (Kid Rock ain't Country!) and checking out the old honkey tonks closer to Bridgeport Arena. We also recommend counting the number of bachelorette parties you pass along the way. Take an Uber or Lyft, parking is a nightmare.
