Make your way to the honky-tonks along Broadway for drinks and live music, and be sure to visit the historic Ryman Auditorium (ryman.com) and the Country Music Hall of Fame.

Also make time for some food and drink. For authentic barbecue and mouthwatering delights, visit Edley’s, Peg Leg Porker or Martin’s Bar-B-Que. Sample the food with local brews from Tennessee Brew Works and Black Abbey Brewing Company.

For more innovative gourmet cuisine, check out 5^th and Taylor for the Sunday dinner favorites of Chef Daniel Lindley; Chauhan Ale & Masala House, helmed by Chopped judge Maneet Chauhan; or the classic stand-by, Capitol Grille, at The Hermitage Hotel. And that’s only the beginning of discovering Nashville’s many dimensions.
