A Southern Boy's Ideas Of Sites To See When Visiting Nashville


by Andrew Stackhouse


If you find yourself in the Southern United States and are looking for a great city to stop in, you should strongly consider Nashville. My home away from home, Nashville has a special place in my heart and everyone I know who has visited agrees it is an amazing city.

There are ton of great places to go in Nashville, but here are some of my favorites.

When it comes to Sunday Brunch, it just does not get better than the Loveless Motel. Located in the rural outskirts of the city, Loveless serves up legendary biscuits, fried chicken, pulled pork and pie. It is a charming restaurant, with rocking chairs to sit in before or after your meal.

Sorry just some more thoughts on the Loveless biscuits. They are worth the trip to Nashville alone. Ok, maybe not, but they are the best biscuits that I've ever had, and every one of my southern friends agrees. That's got to count for something.

If you happen to be in Hillsboro village, then you must stop by the Pancake Pantry for breakfast. Pancake Pantry is well known for their long lines, but the pancakes are worth it. They serve over 15 variations and there is a pancake for every taste.

Downtown Nashville is unlike any other city. The bright lights, country music, karaoke music help create a unique atmosphere. If you find yourself in downtown Nashville, be sure to visit Printer's Alley, an off the beaten path alley with great bars. The Hard Rock Caf is also located downtown and is situated right along the Cumberland River.

The Grand Ole Opry is a Nashville staple and if you want to see live country music, there is no better venue for it. Every legendary singer has played here, from Johnny Cash to Hank Williams, and if there's a show while you're in town, it is worth checking out.

If you are looking to walk around a little bit, look no further than Vanderbilt University. Located in the heart of the city Vanderbilt is a beautiful campus and there are few better places to be on a beautiful day.
