If you’re not from Nashville, ask a question. If you’re from Nashville, answer one.
We posted that prompt on NASHtoday’s Instagram, and folks from near and far didn’t disappoint. Whether it was our friends down in Texas, or newcomers looking to love on local, these are some answers to FAQs from out-of-towners.
“Where are all of the locals going out on a Friday/Saturday night?!” — @laurenbarnaba
With 60+ answers, East Nashville gems had a large fan club — which we’re a part of as well. Some businesses mentioned include Golden Pony and Honeytree Meadery.
“Where can I go to hear live R&B or jazz music?” — @iamjohnjo
Our followers were rooting for Rudy’s Jazz Room, which was name dropped a few times. Soul, Papa Turney’s BBQ, and the Nashville Jazz Workshop’s Jazz Cave were also suggested.
“When’s the best time to visit Nashville?” — @satxtoday
Say hello to our good friends in Texas. The top recommendation for vising Nashville was the fall season. What’s not to love about scenic drives along Natchez Trace Parkway and lots of outdoor festivals?
“Best rooftop to watch the 4th of July fireworks from?” — @lilmisskadee
We’ll have more on this next week, but most commenters agreed that new spot AVA Rooftop Bar will have great views. Away from downtown, @_sophiechristine_ enjoys the peacefulness at the top of the hill at Shelby Park.
“Where are the best mocktails?” — @kaylison___
This one was all over the board, but that just means you have options. Tailor, Attaboy, International Market, Bay 6 at The Wash, and Pushing Daisies were all offered. Bonus: Attend booze-free events at Killjoy.
