Heritage Things To Do In Nashville: Strategic Daily Itineraries, Local Etiquette, and Essential Insights (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798186516019)

IMAGINE EVERYTHING THERE IS TO DO IN NASHVILLE
Imagine sitting in the Bluebird Café as a songwriter plays the number one hit they wrote for someone else, then walking into Historic RCA Studio B where Elvis recorded in the same room, then ending the night on Broadway when the tourists thin and the honky-tonks finally start playing for themselves.

WHAT THIS GUIDE PUTS IN YOUR HANDS
1. Lower Broadway, the Honky-Tonks & the Music Strip
How to experience Broadway without being overwhelmed, the Ryman Auditorium as the Mother Church of Country Music, the Grand Ole Opry's 100-year legacy, the Guitar Trail and mural walk, and the live show culture beyond the tourist strip.

2. Country Music Hall of Fame & the Music Museums
Two million pieces of memorabilia at the Hall of Fame, RCA Studio B where Elvis and Dolly recorded, the Johnny Cash Museum, Jack White's Third Man Records vinyl pressing plant, and the songwriter sessions where the hits actually begin.

3. East Nashville, Germantown & the Local Neighborhoods
East Nashville's bohemian record stores and dive bars, Germantown's brick street brunch culture, 12 South's boutiques and the I Believe in Nashville mural, the Gulch's rooftop bars, and Marathon Village's distillery and creative quarter.

4. Centennial Park, Radnor Lake & Nashville's Green Spaces
The full-scale Parthenon replica in a 132-acre park, Radnor Lake's firefly hiking trails, 60 miles of Warner Parks trails, Cheekwood Estate's seasonal blooms, and the Cumberland River Greenway pedestrian bridge.

5. The Hermitage, Belle Meade & Historic Nashville
Andrew Jackson's presidential home, Belle Meade's Civil War and enslaved history, the Tennessee State Capitol and Bicentennial Mall, Fort Negley's inland stone fortification, and the free Tennessee State Museum most visitors overlook.

6. Live Music Beyond Broadway
The Bluebird Café songwriter's room, OZ Arts in a former cigar warehouse, the Full Moon Pickin' Party bluegrass jam on the Cumberland River, the Station Inn as the best bluegrass venue in America, and the monthly art crawl music nights.

7. Nashville Food & Drink
Nashville hot chicken at Prince's and Hattie B's, the Farmers Market Saturday ritual, whiskey tastings at Nelson's Green Brier and Corsair, the Jack Daniel's distillery day trip to Lynchburg, and Loveless Cafe biscuits and soul food worth the drive.

8. Arts, Culture & the Creative Life of Music City
The Frist Art Museum in a converted Art Deco post office, the Civil Rights Room's lunch counter at the Nashville Public Library, the monthly Wedgewood-Houston art crawl, and the performing arts scene beyond the music venues.
