Barista Parlor

Expect to pay more for your coffee, but worth it! They make their own syrups and pride themselves in their craft. Also offer delicious breakfast options—I especially love their sausage (local farm) and biscuits made fresh each morning.

Nashville, Tennessee – also known as Music City, USA – is world-renowned for being the center of American country music. Second only to Los Angeles as the largest music production city in the US, visitors flock from all over the world to hear live country music, bluegrass performances, and the charming country feel of the city. The starting point for any visit to Nashville is Music Row. This is the area in downtown Nashville which surrounds the world-famous Music Square. Music Row is home to the Country Music Hall of Fame, a not-to-be missed museum displaying instruments and memorabilia of the great names in country music. The stunning building has tall windows resembling the keys of a piano, and even features a Cadillac once owned by Elvis Presley. Pick one of the superb Nashville hotels in this neighborhood if you want to get your music fix night and day. To catch the biggest names in the live music scene, hop on over to the Grand Ole Opry. Be sure to book a ticket in advance for a top live performance and a backstage tour. See new stars, superstars, and the legends of country music all in one evening. Unlike a typical concert, the Grand Ole Opry presents eight or more artists at each show, giving the audience a variety of musical styles to enjoy at one event. Chilling out to music is probably on the top of your Nashville “to do” list, but the city offers a number of museums, parks, and historical sites as well. The Parthenon in Centennial Park is a replica of the Temple in Greece that houses timeless artwork and the grounds surrounding it are magnificent. Outside the city, several plantation homes offer historical tours and make for an informative day trip. Wherever you go, be sure to sample the best of Nashville food. Steakhouses, barbecue joints, food trucks and gastropubs make Nashville a natural choice for foodies.
