"This downtown spot is the brainchild of culinary master Deb Paquette, who whips up inventive fare, such as an octopus and shrimp bruschetta or a cauliflower steak. Deb has led the charge on Nashville’s food evolution and now has Char and Etc. in Green Hills, as well. It’s also one of my very favorites in town—and I’m not just saying it because my college roommate is the ace pastry chef (proud friend alert)!"

"MidtownTwo friends from California looked at the ice cream market and decided they saw a gaping hole in the usual offerings: nobody was serving a real kickass ice cream sandwich. They decided to do it themselves by opening The Baked Bear, and eventually bringing an outpost to Nashville. The three-step ordering process involves choosing a cookie from a long list of options ranging from chocolate chip to red velvet, selecting from a dozen ice cream flavors to slide between those cookies and then picking either syrupy or crunchy toppings to finish it off."

"Baked from scratch cookies (like snickerdoodle, red velvet, sea salt peanut butter chocolate) and ice cream (like toasted s'mores, blackberry crumble, cookie dough) -- you can't go wrong!. Endless mix and match options + don't forget the toppings. See for yourself then order from your fave delivery app!"

"Their milkshakes are a work of art -- seriously some of the most creative concoctions we've ever seen!. Choose from their signature shakes, build your own, cookie dough, and scoops -- check out their menu here."

"George Jones was a musician with more country songs on the Billboard charts than any other country artist in history, but he was also famous for his crazy antics. One famous story involves him pulling up onto the sidewalk at the Nashville airport and leaving a note on the windshield that read “heavily under the influence of cocaine,” which also let readers know he’d be back in a couple of days. The story says that the car was still there running when he returned a few days later."

"Immerse yourself in George Jones’s life and legacy when you visit his museum on 2nd Avenue just north of Broadway. Throughout his career, Jones had more songs on the Billboard chart and more Top 40 songs than any other country music star in history.
