Where to go in Nashville

NYWC Nashville Live Blogger, Andy Thompson shares these insights on our host town.

I’m a home-boy here in Nashvegas and wanted to give a few tips on some good food, downtown, for all the NYWC peeps.

If you go out of the HQ, you can walk to most of these places — and you get to see some of what makes Nashville famous (besides the music). You’ll see what I mean when you walk the sidewalks…

Okay, on to the food:

The Old Spaghetti Factory - it’s old, they serve really good Italian cuisine, and it’s affordable.

San Antonio Taco Co. - Best Tex-Mex food in town. Hands down. It’s on 21st so you’ll be riding/driving to that one. But it’s another affordable eat.

Jack’s BBQ - on Broadway right around the corner on 4th Ave. (very close and VERY good BBQ)

B.B. King’s Bar & Grill is on 2nd Ave before you get to Broadway. (You MUST get the fried pickles.)

Of course, there’s a Panera near 5th Ave … a staple for most of you.

Hope this helps! We got good eats here in Nash-vegas.

    there is also Provence up the road on Church street, near there is a Quiznos and Subway for the quick bite.

    Go to the Arcade at least once while you are in Nashville, http://urlzen.com/38a (don’t mind the loop, these are driving directions. you can turn right and walk down the alley)

    If you are driving around, I suggest stopping by Nicks Deli on 5th, its up the road behind the area from the convention center. http://urlzen.com/38c

    For a truly unique lunch visit. Visit Alektor Cafe & Books to Paradise. Be blessed by the an orthodox pastor & his family, not to mention some great food and atmosphere. http://urlzen.com/38d

    those would be some suggestions i have in addition to andy’s.

    There is a San Antonio Taco down by 2nd Avenue as well. You can walk to this one, it is really good - good call Andy!

    We hit up Demo’s last night — order a steak and get a side of spaghetti. Great menu, lots of pasta, steak, sandwiches in an old-time Nashville favorite. And try the pumpkin cheesecake if it’s still on the menu!

    And a second on Andy’s mention of Jack’s. It was the first place I went when I got to town on Tuesday, and had dinner there that night too.

    And there’s a great downtown restaurant map in the NYWC welcome packet at registration.
