I'm going to Nashville. Never been. What are the must-do's in the city?

As the title says…I will be in Nashville soon.

Any recommendations of what to do? Where to eat? Where to drink (live music is a bonus)?

Depending on what quality music you want, you wouldn’t be able to swing a dead cat without finding it. There’s hot chicken sandwiches, but don’t get the hottest. Our daughter, who loves all things spicy, couldn’t finish one. There’s also my birthplace, Baptist Hospital. Dunno if they’ve put up a plaque yet.

I don’t have an answer for you, but I’ve been wanting to go to their full-size Parthenon in original form.

Johnny Cash Museum

Oprey. Grand Ole Oprey

We were in Nashville for a week many years ago. I mostly just remember staying at the Gaylord Opryland Hotel & Convention Center, which was a great place, and I was impressed by its huge 9-acre indoor atrium. We’re not country music fans but a visit to the Grand Ole Oprey was pretty much essential.

Don’t miss the giant ancient bird statue, Grand Ole Osprey.

And bring a fish.

The Parthenon is cool and I also enjoyed a tour of Andrew Jackson’s Hermitage. He was quite an, um, character.

I’ll also point out the correct spelling in this context is “Opry”.

Daughter and I were in Nashville a couple weeks ago. We walked up and down Broadway on a Saturday evening, which is a sight to see. But we’re not into loud music, and ate at Eddie V’s Prime Seafood. There was a two hour wait for a table, but no wait at the bar, so that’s where we ate. Service was excellent, food was good (but pretentious), and prices high.
