Portrait of a City - Nashville
Nashville, Tennessee | USA
Driving into the "City of Music" for the first time is quite a sight to behold. The lush countryside is covered in trees and forests, with charming towns scattered about. And then, out of nowhere, once you round that corner, the city reveals itself. Some may say that Nashville is a place of music and food. While it is indeed both of those things, it truly embodies a unique culture. And it's not just the culture people typically associate with it these days; it's a culture of warmth and openness, fostered by the talented people of Nashville.
As you walk through the lobby of the newly opened Four Seasons Nashville, you truly see the attention to detail that went into this hotel. Situated on the Cumberland River in the heart of Nashville, it is only one block away from Broadway, making it the ideal spot for living it up at night and having a peaceful and luxurious place to unwind during the day. Their awe-inspiring restaurant, Mimo, gives an Italian twist to classic Southern food. It is modern yet timeless inside, keeping you wanting to come back for more.
Diving into the food, Biscuit Love shows off the best of Southern food in a new and fresh way. Their GERTIE, a dreamy Buttermilk Biscuit topped with Peanut Butter Frosting, Fresh Bananas, and a Pretzel Crunch, served on top of a Bed of Chocolate Gravy, is something that is a must when in the city of Nashville.
Another exceptional restaurant, Milk and Honey, is like a time machine back to the 70s. Their classic bar and white booth seating perfectly reflect their homey food they serve. Situated in the new part of Nashville, the Gulch, this restaurant shows off the classic Southern style in this new high-rise part of town. Nashville may be expanding, but it’s not losing its charm.
The old western feel of the movies put into a shop, you may say is it possible? But yes, yes, it is. And that is exactly what Rustler Hat Co. did. They infused that classic cowboy feel into something that is totally unique yet totally Nashville. They create custom hats fit for you. Their laid-back aesthetic and fun atmosphere make it a staple in the downtown Gulch area. From their unique stitching to their elegant hat bands and their classy feathers, Rustler Hat Co. really has a hat for everyone.
But what Nashville is really known for is their music. The music scene there is something to be seen. From their countless bars all around the city to pretty much any concert you want to see, they do not have a shortage of music. The Ryman Auditorium really shows off the best of any music. From the moment you set foot in the door, you can feel and see the history. And even though it has gotten more touristy, the real authentic self is still trapped in those walls. From the countless names that have played there to seeing a person serenade a crowd like back then, in this increasingly digital world, which makes it even more special. It truly is an experience that you will walk away from inspired.
