🌯 Your new breakfast plans

Coffee and breakfast burritos — a match made right here in Music City, thanks to Resting Burrito Face and Merge Coffee Bar.

East Nashville regulars likely know Resting Burrito Face (formerly JMAS), which has been parked on Porter Road since 2024. Now there’s a second location on 4th Avenue South, in the same lot as Merge Coffee Bar.

I ordered the Greenwood burrito — made with beans, tots, cheddar, pico de gallo, and crema — and Merge’s honey cinnamon latte (aka the Bees Knees). Next time, I’ve got my eyes on the Imposter burrito made with BE Hive’s vegan chipotle chorizo.

If you’re hitting up the East Nashville location, Tabla Rasa Cafe is right next door for coffee and ice cream.

Shocking upsets, personal confessions, and cheating accusations. Any guesses what we’re talking about? This year’s 2026 Winter Olympics has been full of controversy, and the theatrics aren’t over yet.

The closing ceremony takes place this Sunday, Feb. 22. After that, if you’re going to miss the drama, here are a few on-stage productions we’ve got our eye on:
  • Nashville Ballet is bringing Tchaikovsky’s “Swan Lake” to the stage beginning Friday, Feb. 27.
  • A taste of Broadway is coming to Music City as “Suffs” takes over TPAC in early March, followed by “Back to the Future: The Musical” and “Some Like It Hot.”
  • Brush up on ABBA, because you’ll be humming along when “Mamma Mia!” opens at the Hendersonville Performing Arts Company next month.

The Buy

A set of shower steamers with 11 unique scents like jasmine, chamomile, lavender, and mint. The variety lets you tailor the experience to your mood: a relaxing spa night, a midday pick-me-up, or an energizing morning reset. Bonus: They make great gifts.
