NASHVILLE TRIP

If you follow along on instagram you know that we spent the last weekend in Nashville pigging out and having an amazing time. This was my first trip to Nashville and I truly loved it. The place just kind of felt like home… The country girl in me was singing along to Conway Twitty’s “tight fitting jeans” at Robert’s Western World and my printmaker past had me all giddy at Hatch Show Print.

Along with the great restaurants, coffee shops, and music the city hast to offer, it’s overflowing with amazing artisans. We visited 3 beautiful shops Otis and James, Emil Erwin, Imogene and Willie and did a tour and tasting at Corsair Distillery.

The trip was Friday night to Monday and I definitely left feeling like there was so much more I wanted to do. You can view my full to-do list on Foursquare here. I’ll save my praise and preaching about glorious Foursquare for another post.

eating/bars/nightlife:
308 – Dan Auerbach was spinning records, craft cocktails and vintage motorcycles. Geoff was in heaven.
Crying Wolf – this was near our airbnb. great decor and a little patio.
Tavern – we did brunch here with 2 for one drinks. get the Singapore Stir Fry.
Husk – beautiful space, amazing food, and the bartender made me my favorite gin martini ever. I’ll be attempting that at home and share the details.
Hattie B’s Hot Chicken – spicy goodness – we went with medium and it was plenty hot.
Mas Tacos Por Favor – what?! yes. so good.
