Weâre taking two budgets for a spin to see which has the best bang for your buck. Ready for an adventure? Hereâs how you can spend a day in Music City on $10 vs. $100.
$10 budget
Take your $10 (and some change) to Hillsboro Village. Grab abagel and drip coffee from The Co-Op â weâre looking at $5.20 for the breakfast pairing.
Hereâs where you can choose your own adventure. Steer your walk towards Midtown for lunch at San Antonio Taco Co. Two tacos (regular, crispy, or guacamole) will set you back $5.38. If youâd rather return to Hillsboro Village, pop into Pizza Perfect for a large slice for $4.24 (donât forget about BOGO slices on Monday evenings).

Finish your day with a stroll through the neighborhood, including a loop around Fannie Mae Dees Park to see the mosaic tile dragons.
Total: $10.58 (if you choose tacos) or $9.44 (if you choose pizza)
$100 budget
Start your day with movement at Shakti Power Yoga. The 1-hour power flow classes are offered for a $22 drop-in price.
Then, refuel at Proper Bagel. Get a New Yorker breakfast sandwich â made with egg, applewood bacon or sage sausage, and cheese â for $8.50, and an iced latte for $5.50. Optional, but recommended: A black and white cookie for $3.50, if available.
While youâre in the neighborhood, shop around at Where the Well Things Are for local products. A bag of High Garden loose leaf tea will set you back $12.
