Florals for fall — truly groundbreaking. | Gif by NASHtoday
One of Nashville’s newest hotels has officially opened its second restaurant concept. Beverage-centric Thistle & Rye started serving up vibrant cocktails and globally-inspired small plates last week on the third floor of Midtown’s Conrad Nashville.
NASHtoday’s picks: The Hermitage (the smoky lilac number you see being made in the video above) + the KFC Korean Fried Cauliflower.
The 13+ specialty cocktails you see on the menu are inspired by the era of time in which they are categorized. The Hermitage (made with Empress, Cointreau, St-Germain, lemon juice, and lemongrass) is an elevated take on the lemon drop, a drink that rose to popularity in the Dark Ages.
THE WRAP
Today’s edition was written by Skylar.
Editor’s pick: We’ve never done this before, but today’s piece on Thistle & Rye has me thinking... where would y’all like to see me + Dylan head to next? Maybe it’s a new restaurant, a tried and true favorite you just haven’t visited, or a different business entirely.
We want to be your guide — so, we’re putting you in the driver’s seat. Send your pick our way, and we just might visit it and give you our recs in an upcoming newsletter.
