These are a few of my favorite 'Nashville' things

You know you have the song in you head now... and to be honest, I totally tried to come up with Nashville-related lyrics to substitute for the actual, but alas, I am no songwriter. Anyway, I have so many favorite things to do around our amazing town - and I thought it'd be fun to put together a random assortment and running list of these ideas for you to try.

  3. Great List. I just recently had to make such a list for someone. I have a lot of same things and thanks, I've learned a few new ones. I also have Pizza at Bella Nashville, (especially beet and benton's bacon) Wedding cupcake at the Sweet Stash (both at Nashville farmer's market). Swiss Roll dessert at Farm House, Pork at Silo, hot chicken at Hattie B's, Bobbie's Dairy Dip burger and ice cream, cobbler old fashioned at Holland House, tulips at Cheekwood. Nashville is a great town! Oh and the rosemary honey latte at Frothy Monkey, the only coffee drink I'll pay $4.10 for! See you soon.
